While speaking to E! News, Ben explained that he and his ex Jennifer both have never pushed their kids Violet, Seraphina, or Samuel, toward anythinf or any specific career path.
He said, “We really want to give them room to figure out what they want to do.”
The Batman actor then added that while they are proud of their children, he hopes they don’t feel pressured to follow their parents footsteps in acting.

In September, she delivered a strong powerful speech at United Nations about clean air and mask mandates, stressing on the the current generation’s responsibility to act accordingly.
She also uses fashion to express her beliefs, wearing masks and statement clothing to support causes like Palestine.

Despite past differences, the Argo actor’s kids have reportedly strong bonds with their new extended family which includes Jennifer Lopez’s twins, Max and Emme.
