Ben Affleck's son, 10, bashes a Lamborghini into BMW after dad lets him take wheel

Ben Affleck 's 10-year-old son was behind the wheel of a Lamborghini when it bumped into another vehicle over the weekend.

Samuel, 10, had joined dad Ben, 49, and his fiancee Jennifer Lopez, 52, for a trip to luxury vehicle dealership 777 Exotics when the incident happened on Sunday.

Ben had allowed his son into the driver's seat of a yellow Lamborghini that had the engine running as he browsed the motors on offer at the Los Angeles dealership.

While in the motor Samuel put the car in reverse, which resulted in the vehicle making contact with the front of a white BMW situated behind the Lamborghini.

In video footage of the incident obtained by TMZ, it appears that the luxury sports car touched the BMW's front wheel and possibly the fender.

After reversing into the car, Samuel - who Ben shares with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner - then got out of the Lambo the look at where the car had bumped another vehicle.

Speaking with the American publication, a representative for Ben stated that no damage was caused and all involved were okay.

An employee at 777 Exotics claimed there was no accident and the two vehicles were just parked close together, according to TMZ.

The Mirror has approached a representative for Ben for further comment.

Ben and Jennifer - who got engaged for a second time earlier this year - were later pictured comforting Samuel, with the Jenny From the Block singer snapped holding hands with her beau's son as they left the car dealership on Sunday.

Samuel is one of three children Ben shares with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner, 50, whom he divorced in 2018.

"Our marriage didn’t work, and that’s difficult. Both of us really believe that it’s important for kids to see their parents respect one another and get along, whether they’re together or not," Ben explained to PEOPLE when discussing co-parenting with his ex-wife earlier this year.

The former couple are also parents to daughters Violet, 16, and Seraphina, 13, while Ben's wife-to-be Jennifer shares twins Emme and Max with ex-husband Marc Anthony.

Jennifer and Ben rekindled their romance last year, almost 20 years on from their original engagement and high-profile split.

In April, the mum-of-two explained exactly how her beau popped the question for the second time earlier this year and revealed all about the "nothing fancy at all" proposal.

"Saturday night while at my favorite place on earth (in the bubble bath), my beautiful love got on one knee and proposed," the Hustlers actress gushed in an On The JLo email update.

"I was taken totally off guard and just looked in his eyes smiling and crying at the same time trying hard to get my head around the fact that after 20 years this was happening all over again, I was quite literally speechless and he said, “is that a yes?’” I said YES of course that’s a YES."

She continued to admit after the actor's proposal she was left crying with joy and feeling " so incredibly happy and whole".

"It was nothing fancy at all, but it was the most romantic thing I could’ve ever imagined...just a quiet Saturday night at home, two people promising to always be there for each other," she added when recalling the romantic moment.

The Love Don't Cost a Thing singer concluded by declared herself and the dad-of-three to be "two very lucky people" who have been given a second chance at true love.

The happy couple first met back in 2002 on the set of their critically-panned film, Gigli. At the time, Jennifer was still married to her second husband, Cris Judd.

The singer went on to file for divorce from Cris in July 2002 and embarked on a very public relationship with Ben, which eventually led to the actor proposing to the star just months later in November 2002.

Of course, it wasn't to be and the pair split in January 2004, with Jennifer alleged to be the one that ended things with the Good Will Hunting star, but friends admitting she always saw Ben as "the one who got away".

Ben and Jen's second shot at love came about in early 2021, with the pair picking up where they left off almost two decades ago shortly after the singer called things quits with ex-fiancé Alex Rodriguez after a two-year engagement.
