Ben Affleck Reveals How One of His Kids Trolled Him Over Failed Relationships
The actor said his three children mock his relationship advice after he jokes about his own dating history on the late-night show.
- On Thursday, September 24, 2026, actor Ben Affleck appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live and shared how his three children frequently mock him when he attempts to offer them dating advice.
- The 54-year-old actor shares three children—Violet, 20, Fin, 17, and Samuel, 14—with ex-wife Jennifer Garner; dinner table conversations often turn to relationship drama, prompting his attempts at guidance.
- When Affleck offered advice, his 17-year-old child retorted, "Oh, like you're the expert on relationships?" Another time, a child pointed to a book titled "I'm Sorry for Everything" and quipped, "Oh, look, Dad, it's your autobiography."
- Describing the teasing as a "humbling realization," Affleck admitted he feels like a "caricature" in his children's eyes, catching them giving each other looks when he speaks.
- Scheduled for release on Netflix and in select theaters on October 9, 2026, the upcoming kidnapping thriller Animals features Affleck alongside Kerry Washington in a story about a mayoral candidate whose son is abducted.
