Watch: Ben Affleck Engraved "Not Going Anywhere" on Jennifer Lopez's Ring

Ben Affleck and son Samuel seemed to have a ball during their recent outing. 

The Oscar winner, 50, and the 10-year-old had a courtside view as they watched the Boston Celtics secure a nail-biting victory over the Los Angeles Lakers during the Dec. 13 game at L.A.'s Crypto.com Arena.

And Samuel—whom Ben shares with ex-wife Jennifer Garner along with daughters Violet, 17, and Seraphina, 13—isn't the only one of their children to recently make a rare public appearance with one of their parents. The 13 Going on 30 star took Violet to the White House State Dinner in Washington D.C. on Dec. 1.

Earlier this month, Jennifer Lopez, who wed Ben over the summer, reflected on the Argo director's relationship with his ex, saying in a December cover story for Vogue that the Alias alum is  "an amazing co-parent" and that she and Ben "work really well together."

Since Ben and J.Lo's wedding—tying the knot two decades after they were first engaged during the early aughts—the pair have blended their family, with the actor becoming stepdad to the singer's 14-year-old twins, Max and Emme.

"The transition is a process that needs to be handled with so much care," the Hustlers actress, 53, told the magazine. "They have so many feelings. They're teens. But it's going really well so far. What I hope to cultivate with our family is that his kids have a new ally in me and my kids have a new ally in him, someone who really loves and cares about them but can have a different perspective and help me see things that I can't see with my kids because I'm so emotionally tied up."
