“They’ll talk about their friends and the drama and their relationships,” he said of his and first wife Jennifer Garner’s three kids — Violet, 20, Seraphina, 17, and Samuel, 14.
“I said, ‘Well, the thing about that relationship there with that person…’” he remembered of one particular conversation.
“The 17-year-old just turns to me and goes, ‘Oh, like you’re the expert on relationships?’”
The Oscar winner, notably, wed Garner, 54, in 2005, with the former couple separating a decade later.
Their divorce was finalised in 2018.
In 2022, Affleck married Jennifer Lopez — to whom he had previously been engaged in the early naughts — but the duo split within two years.
The Golden Globe winner quipped to host Jimmy Kimmel that he is a “caricature” to his kids now that they’re approaching adulthood.
“I give advice or try to talk to them like a parent, as you do … but what I’ve found is that now it’s not only one teenager rolling their eyes,” he said.
“I catch them giving each other looks.”
The Gone Girl star shouted out his middle child again to divulge an epic diss dished out during a bookstore trip.
“We’re just browsing around and there’s some book by a French guy and it’s called I’m Sorry for Everything, and my kid immediately turns to me, deadpan, and goes, ‘Oh, look, Dad, it’s your autobiography,’” he told viewers.
Affleck laughed telling the story, admitting he was “proud” of his offspring’s comedic timing.
In addition to Garner and Lopez, 57, Affleck’s star-studded dating history includes relationships with actresses Gwyneth Paltrow, Ana de Armas and more.
The filmmaker has not gone public with a new romance since his latest divorce — and Brooks Nader shut down dating rumours earlier this year.
“Haven’t met him in my life,” the Baywatch star, 29, commented under a Deuxmoi item via Instagram in January.
