Ben Affleck enjoys family stroll in LA with ex-wife Jennifer Garner ahead of his 47th birthday

Two-time Oscar-winning filmmaker Ben Affleck took a family stroll with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner and their eldest child Violet near their Pacific Palisades neighborhood on Saturday.

The Triple Frontier action star - turning 47 on Thursday - sipped on a cool drink as his 13-year-old princess clutched a copy of Edna O'Brien's 1960 novel trilogy, The Country Girls.

The former Daredevil co-stars - whose divorce was finalized October 4 - are also amicably raising their 10-year-old daughter Seraphina and seven-year-old son Samuel.

On Friday, the 47-year-old Golden Globe winner posted about a fun summer scavenger hunt her children enjoyed with their 'crafty nanny' involving finding construction paper animals.

Little Samuel even created a cute control panel next to his bed so that his famous mother can 'power him down at night.'

'It's so gnarly to be a kid now...I've never posted pictures of them on Instagram,' Jennifer - who boasts 8.3M Instagram/Facebook followers - wrote in an InStyle essay on Tuesday.

'I'm sure there are times my kids would really love to see themselves reflected on my social media in a fun way and to have the attention they would get from that. But I've fought too hard against it.'

'Not only did we score an amazing scene for the flick, but I also got my friend back,' the Independent Spirit Award winner gushed last month.

'The co-creator of #bluntmanandchronic and friend of #jayandsilentbob plays a crucial role in the Reboot and his scene is one of the best bits of cinema I've ever been involved with!'

Last November, Smith hinted that their feud stemmed from his 'big mouth' that used to tell 'too many candid stories that sometimes weren't [mine] to tell.'
