Ben's a Changed Man

Ben has changed quite a lot from his Bennifer days thanks to the new ladies in his life. We're glad he has made this comeback and clearly grown up. He admits he is very protective of Jen and Violet and doesn't want them to have to suffer because of his poor choices. That will definitely make a man change his ways. Here's highlights:

  • "I've never been very judicious about my own behavior or choices until they had an impact on people other than me," Affleck, 34, tells USA Today. "Obviously, my wife. And my daughter, who's going to have my last name – I don't want her to mutter it over a drink. I want her to be proud of her old man."
  • "I'm extraordinarily lucky and privileged," he says, "and I've tried not to be bitter, but I have developed a reactionary defensiveness." He adds, "But for my child, she didn't make the bargain I did. She didn't make that choice. And I don't want her to have to pay for the parents' sins. I try to protect her privacy. I'll end up in the magazines, and that's life, and I can live with it, but I try to shield my daughter."

At the same time, it seems like Ben and Jen are really good at not being too overprotective of Violet. He shouldn't have anything to worry about. If he keeps going like he's going, Violet is going to grow up to be very proud of her papa. For more pics just read more

    I love that they go out looking like normal people, in jeans/sweats and tshirts. Even Violet has on normal little kid clothes with normal little Stride Rite walkers on. It's cute that they really do want her to be normal, not a celebrity kid.

    Those quotes from Ben were the sweetest...I'm happy to see he made the change from Playboy to Family Man!

    I'm soooooo happy he didn't marry J.Lo, he woulda been miserable and reverted to his old ways.

    He needs to shave, but they're a sweet family. Violet's outfit is very cute.

    They are one of the only families to not sell their baby pictures to a magazine. I really respect that.

    How long will this last? He'll be back to drinking soon. I wish Jennifer had found a nicer guy, but, she's seems like such a good mom she'll make up for all of Ben's mistakes.

    there was a recent photo of Jen & Violet at the grocery store & Jen bought beer, so I think its safe to say that one or both of them drinks. which is not a problem. what is a problem is when drinking interferes w/ family life & so far it looks like they have it all under control

    they are all cute, and they do wear 'normal' clothes but i have lost hope for any marriages in hollywoodland to work, especially after reese and ryan, we all thought they were the perfect couple too right?

    Did anyone see tham on Jon Favereu's Dinner for Five with Colin Ferril right after Daredevil? She defended him when Kevin Smith made a joke at his expense and you just knew right then...she was smitten.. thank GOd he lost the diva and found someone real.

    I like them and do not find them boring in the least. Hell, if I was saddled with Jennifer Lopez, I would have drank, too!

    Ben is such a sweetheart! But I'm afraid that his kid has to be part of his bargain, but in a natural way. She will get used to it. To her it will be 'normal', because she grows up with the media attention. Ben and Jen has a very different and normal background and therefore they feel very differently. But relax, I think Violet will be OK!!!! (And with those loving parents, she will be MORE than OK).
