Jennifer Garner was all smiles during an outing with her teenage son, Fin, in Los Angeles on Wednesday.
The 52-year-old actress put on a casual-chic display as she modeled a black-and-white gingham-print blouse paired with skinny jeans and white sneakers.
Similarly, her 15-year-old son Fin, who is one of three children she shares with ex-husband Ben Affleck, sported an oversized sweatshirt, cargo shorts and comfy sneakers.
For her outing, the Elektra star, who stopped by her ex’s house the day before to check on him amid his divorce from Jennifer Lopez, tied her brunette hair up in a high ponytail and stepped out with minimal makeup to show off her natural beauty.
At one point, when he stepped out into the sun, he put on dark, wayfarer-style sunglasses.

In his hands, Garner juggled a pair of glasses, his sunglasses, a tablet, his phone and his wallet.
She was later photographed with a small duffel bag in her hand, but still carrying her belongings in the crook of her arm.
The last time she and Fin were seen together was on Labor Day earlier this month.
Garner had a big smile on her face as she greeted Fin, who was getting out of an SUV and arriving at the actress’ home in the Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles.
That same week, she opened the doors to her gorgeous $7.9 million country home and showed Architectural Digest her house, which she said she built “from scratch.”
She previously purchased the property in 2019 after finalizing her divorce from Affleck.

After moving out of the 8,798-square-foot mansion she once shared with her ex-husband and three children (Violet, 18, Samuel, 12, and Fin), she embarked on a mission to create her dream home in Brentwood.
Most recently, the 13 Going On 30 star, who has been in an on-and-off relationship with John Miller since 2018, was photographed heading to her ex’s rental property in the same neighborhood to check on him amid his ongoing divorce from JLo.
Lopez officially filed for divorce from the Gone Girl actor last month, on the same day as the couple’s second wedding anniversary.
Prior to the filing, Affleck had been photographed spending a significant amount of time with Garner, who previously took on the role of “marriage counselor” for the couple while they dropped their eldest son off at college.
Sources close to Garner recently told DailyMail.com that she was forced to “play mediator” in her ex-husband and ex-wife’s marriage to help them resolve their issues in a way that wouldn’t affect Affleck’s sobriety.
“Jen feels a bit like she’s been used as a pawn in JLo’s attempt to repair her marriage,” a source told DailyMail.com in late August.

That same day, she was seen entering a parking lot.
“But when Jen realized her ex-husband’s marriage was beyond saving, her only concern was Ben’s well-being and sobriety.”
The source explained that the actress’ close friends weren’t too impressed with the way Lopez leaned on Affleck’s ex-wife despite how complicated things were for the trio.
“She was caught in the middle and her friends think, no matter how you look at it, that a man’s ex-wife should never have to play mediator in a divorce from his new wife,” the source said.
“Especially since his wife was such a sweetheart and was compared to Jen during their 13 years of marriage. She’s happy that Ben is happy now.”
Earlier this summer, DailyMail.com revealed that Garner had made a conscious decision to step away from the “circus” surrounding Affleck and Lopez because the situation had brought up “painful” memories for the actress.

She looked radiant and in great spirits after spending quality time with Fin.
Now, the star is primarily focused on co-parenting with Affleck, who has battled alcoholism and gambling addiction for decades, while dealing with life after his most recent marriage, but will remain friends with Lopez.
The source explained: ‘Ultimately, Jen Garner always has Ben’s back and although she now considers JLo a friend, no one sees this blossoming any further.’
Garner and Affleck were previously married from 2005 until their divorce was finalized in 2018.
They remain co-parenting together, but Garner has since moved on with her rumored fiancé, businessman John Miller, 46, who was reportedly left frustrated by how involved Garner was in trying to “fix” Affleck’s marriage.
