Ben Affleck's Latest News

Ben Affleck had his trusty Boston Red Sox hat on around LA on Thursday. The Garner-Afflecks are still keeping mum about Jen's pregnancy, but now it's not just friends but family spilling the beans — Ben's mom supposedly gushed about the new baby at a close friend's wedding. It's sweet that so many people are happy for the growing family, whether or not they choose to share the exciting news just yet.

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner continued on their seemingly never-ending house hunt in LA over the weekend, along with a trip to a doctor (wonder why) and a birthday party for one of Violet's friends. Little Violet apparently isn't much for real estate and skipped the excursion to look for new digs, but judging from the look on Jen and Ben's faces the afternoon wasn't a barrel of fun. Hopefully they'll find their perfect dream home soon — especially if the rumors are true and there's baby No. 2 coming soon! You know, not that it looks like it's any big secret anymore, wink.

Last year Matt Damon and Ben Affleck celebrated their holiday weekend with a BFF family trip to Hawaii, and this year they were back together for a different reason. The Boston boys showed off their skills, along with friends like Adam Sandler and Don Cheadle, at the 2nd annual Ante Up for Africa charity poker tournament in Las Vegas last night. From the looks of those big smiles, they didn't have a problem whether they were losing or winning, it was all for a good cause. We know that the crises overseas are so important to both Matt and Ben, but it's always nice to add a little bit of fun into dedicated philanthropy.

It was a family weekend for Ben Affleck and Matt Damon in LA. The Garner-Afflecks enjoyed lunch on Saturday before the couple met up with BF Matt and pregnant Luciana for dinner at Nobu in Malibu where the foursome shared a toast to celebrate Ben and Jen's third anniversary on Sunday. Speaking of Mr. Damon, he's looking way better already — amazing what a little change of wardrobe and scenery can do. Fancy dinners with friends are always nice, but Ben also opened up about his time in the Congo and his family. He said:

• On his trip to Congo: “It’s definitely changed me. It’s definitely been a part of… I guess a growing sense that I have a responsibility to do something with my life that’s other than just serving mileage in some way… You have a responsibility to your kid and also a responsibility to the world around you, so all that [is] part of the motivation for doing all this stuff.”
• On life with Jen and Violet: “Things are pretty great. We’re very happy. Things couldn’t be better. We’re kind of taking it easy and just kind of enjoying a little downtime at home. I’m at a point now where even… vacation sort of feels a little bit like work. I’d rather just kind of chill and take it easy.”

While we'd love to see the Damons and Garner-Afflecks head to Hawaii for another vacation together, we understand the desire for quiet time home in LA instead. For lots more pics of Hollywood's cutest family and best friends just

Even Ben Affleck has to check in at the office every once in a while, and on Friday he left his girls at home to get a little work done. Between promoting one film in the UK and filming another in Washington, DC, Ben has been away from LA quite a lot lately — but with Violet starting preschool maybe we'll be lucky enough to see him around a lot more this Summer.
