Jennifer Lopez enjoyed some quality bonding time with her hubby, Ben Affleck, and his son, Samuel Garner Affleck.

They took their small blended family affair courtside at Los Angeles’s Crypto.com Arena last night to watch the L.A. Lakers take on the Golden State Warriors, who they ultimately lost to 128-121. The three showed a range of emotions as they watched the action intensely—displaying big smiles, cheers, and reactions. Bennifer looked cozy, with Ben putting his arm around his wife and Lopez resting her hand on his knee.

As always, the “On the Floor” hitmaker brought some style power to celebrity row, making a statement in ultra-baggy jeans with a high-waisted button-fly construction, a simple white cropped T-shirt, a champagne-colored tweed jacket, and—for some va-va-voom—sparkly sequin-adorned iridescent-blue boots with a pointed-toe construction and tall wedge heel. She finished off the look with large yellow-tinted shades, oversize chunky gold hoops, and a long chain necklace with a Crucifix charm. She glammed up with bronzy makeup and wore her hair down and straight with a middle part.

The Gone Girl star went casual beside her in a red, blue, and beige flannel layered over a simple white tank top, paired with a navy-blue wool coat, matching slacks, and a midnight-blue baseball cap with the name of his and Matt Damon’s production venture, Artists Equity, across the front in red and white letters. Ben rocked his own cool footwear, donning a pair of Travis Scott’s Nike SB Dunk Low sneakers. Samuel, 11, went full sporty-suave in a vibrant blue tracksuit, composed of joggers with Warriors down one leg in yellow letters and a hoodie with an image of Stephan Curry across the front, paired with a matching baseball cap and green Nike sneakers with electric-orange and highlighter-yellow laces.

The game was a star-studded affair with Kim Kardashian and her son Saint West, 8, as well as Bad Bunny in attendance.

Bennifer enjoyed a full blended family outing back in January. The couple was joined by Ben’s ex-wife Jennifer Garner and their two kids, Samuel and Seraphina, 15, as well as Lopez’s child Emme, 16, whom she shares with ex-husband Marc Anthony. Ben and Garner share a third child, Violet Anne, 18, and Lopez and Anthony share a second child, Max, 16, neither of whom were present at the outing.

Lopez reflected on their blended family while appearing on Live With Kelly and Mark last year: “That’s almost five teenagers. The youngest is 11, so he’s not quite [a teen], but preteen. He’s an angel.”

She continued, “The teenage years are tough. They start challenging you and everything. You have this baby for a while and then it’s like your best little friend who loves being with you all the time, and all of a sudden they’re like, ‘Get out of my room.’”
