Ben Affleck Is Back On Daddy Duty With His Daughters

Ben Affleck took his daughters Violet and Seraphina to a play date at a friend's house on Tuesday in Los Angeles, but pretty soon he's going to be heading to the midwest to shoot Gone Girl. We're guessing wife Jennifer Garner is enjoying splitting parenting duties for the time being...

Jen covers the new issue of Allure Magazine, and the 41-year-old actress talks about how she wishes she always had Ben by her side. "Sometimes it's a pain because my heels are so high and it would be really nice to have his arm [on the red carpet]," she says. "And he's such a great date! But it can be too much. I think especially for women, they can really lose their identity and just become 'wife of.'"

"Right now [Ben] feels like he can do more good for people politically from outside the system," she continued. "Would I be surprised if one day he did go into politics? No. But not now. I'm along for the ride."
