He recently wrapped up a stint in rehab for alcohol abuse.

And on Friday it looked like Ben Affleck was ready to get back to being a great dad to his children.

The 46-year-old Gone Girl actor looked relaxed as he walked hand-in-hand with son Samuel and daughter Seraphina.

Ben looked fit in a black shirt, dark wash jeans, grey sneakers and a full beard.

Son Samuel, aged six, was dapper in a white polo shirt, black slacks and running shoes with a white sole.

He wore a grey backpack and looked to be talking to someone on a cellphone as he walked — perhaps mom Jennifer Garner.

Daughter Seraphina, aged nine, also rocked a white polo, along with a green plaid skirt, navy blue leggings and dark-hued trainers.

Earlier in the day Ben carried his favorite Dunkin' Donuts beverage as he headed to therapy in Los Angeles on Friday.

It has been nearly a week since the Oscar winner has been seen with his love Playboy model Shauna Sexton, 22, who told DailyMailTV that the two were still together despite reports they split.

The two were last in each other's company this weekend in Big Sky, Montana.  

Ben was seen in a parking lot surrouded by mature trees. 

It is not known what drink Ben chose from Dunkin' Donuts but the chain only sells iced coffee and iced tea.

Meanwhile, Sexton exclusively revealed she had not split from Ben.

It was her first ever public comment on their relationship.

She told DailyMailTV: 'Don't believe everything you read on the internet'.

Shauna spent the weekend enjoying a romantic break with The Accountant actor fishing and wildlife watching in Big Sky, Montana.

But recently, reports surfaced quoting an anonymous source who claimed the pair's six-week 'casual' relationship was over.

Now Sexton, who lives in Woodland Hills, California, has hit back, angrily telling DailyMailTV: 'I know [there are lots of unnamed insiders] - and they just make s*** up, just like this.'

The relationship between the Gone Girl actor and the Playboy model came into question following a People report published on Tuesday claiming that the actor and model are no longer seeing one another following a trip to Montana over the weekend.

An insider close to the actor, who was treated for addiction alcohol this year (on the heels of prior stints in 2017 and 2001), downplayed the idea that he and Sexton were in a serious relationship in the first place.

'There was nothing to split from as it has been casual,' the insider said. 'He enjoyed being with her but is working on himself, and being together with her at this time is not something that works.'

The father-of-three - to daughters Violet, 12, and Seraphina, nine, and son Samuel, six, with ex Jennifer Garner, 46 - 'will date in the future, but for now his focus is on his sobriety, family and his next project,' the insider told People.
