Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez had a great time when they took their kids out to an outdoor movie night this week.

The Hollywood couple and their children were photographed as they were heading to an outdoor screening of 2003’s “School of Rock” in Los Angeles Friday, Us Weekly first reported.

For the family outing, Affleck brought along his daughters with ex-wife Jennifer Garner, 15-year-old Violet and 12-year-old Seraphina. On the other hand, Lopez’s 13-year-old twins with ex-husband Marc Anthony, Max and Emme, were also in attendance.

It wasn’t clear why Affleck’s 9-year-old son with Garner, Samuel, did not make it to the movie night. However, the entertainment news outlet maintained that he shares a good relationship with his dad’s girlfriend and the latter’s children as he previously spent time with them.

In one of the exclusive photos obtained and released by Page Six, the “Hustlers” actress, 52, was seen resting her head on the 49-year-old actor’s bicep and wrapping a hand around his arm as they walked together. Both were not wearing masks in the snap.

In another picture, Lopez donned her mask when she got close to the kids and other people at the park. The actress-singer sported a white shirt, a gray cardigan sweater and high-waisted pants during the outing, while her beau opted for an all-black ensemble.

The “Gone Girl” actor and Lopez like taking their kids out every now and then. In August, they took them to see “Hamilton” at Los Angeles’ Pantages Theatre. On a separate occasion, they took them out to dinner at Craig’s. In July, Lopez took Affleck’s kids out for a lovely dinner in Malibu. In the same month, all of them had a day of fun at Universal Studios in Hollywood.

From the looks of things, the couple is doing their best to make their blended family setup work as they are in the process of realizing their major plan to live together. When they are not busy working and spending time with their kids, Affleck and Lopez are looking for a place to settle down.

An insider previously disclosed to Us Weekly that the Hollywood stars spent some time looking for a house in the City of Angels. According to the insider, they are planning to make the property their “main base while they enjoy traveling the world.”
