\u201cThey\u2019ll talk about their friends and the drama and their relationships,\u201d he said <\/a>of his and first wife Jennifer Garner\u2019s three kids \u2014 Violet, 20, Seraphina, 17, and Samuel, 14.<\/p>\n

\u201cI said, \u2018Well, the thing about that relationship there with that person\u2026\u2019\u201d he remembered of one particular conversation. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe 17-year-old just turns to me and goes, \u2018Oh, like you\u2019re the expert on relationships?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

The Oscar winner, notably, wed Garner, 54, in 2005, with the former couple<\/a> separating a decade later.<\/p>\n

Their divorce was finalised in 2018.<\/p>\n

In 2022, Affleck married Jennifer Lopez \u2014 to whom he had previously been engaged in the early naughts \u2014 but the duo split<\/a> within two years.<\/p>\n

The Golden Globe winner quipped to host Jimmy Kimmel that he is a \u201ccaricature\u201d to his kids now that they\u2019re approaching adulthood.<\/p>\n

\u201cI give advice or try to talk to them like a parent, as you do \u2026 but what I\u2019ve found is that now it\u2019s not only one teenager rolling their eyes,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n

\u201cI catch them giving each other looks.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Gone Girl star shouted out his middle child again to divulge an epic diss dished out during a bookstore trip.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re just browsing around and there\u2019s some book by a French guy and it\u2019s called I\u2019m Sorry for Everything, and my kid immediately turns to me, deadpan, and goes, \u2018Oh, look, Dad, it\u2019s your autobiography,\u2019\u201d he told viewers.<\/p>\n

Affleck laughed telling the story, admitting he was \u201cproud\u201d of his offspring\u2019s comedic timing.<\/p>\n

In addition to Garner and Lopez, 57, Affleck\u2019s star-studded dating history includes relationships with actresses Gwyneth Paltrow, Ana de Armas and more.<\/p>\n

The filmmaker has not gone public with a new romance since his latest divorce \u2014 and Brooks Nader shut down dating rumours<\/a> earlier this year. <\/p>\n

\u201cHaven\u2019t met him in my life,\u201d the Baywatch star, 29, commented under a Deuxmoi item via Instagram in January.<\/p>\n
