PDA of the Day: Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner Kiss Before Picking Up the Kids

The couple drove about in Ben’s vintage red 1967 Chevy Chevelle on Wednesday before being photographed cuddling in a parking lot in Santa Monica, California.

And you can’t blame them—before picking up their children from school, the parents managed to fit in a little alone time. Ben and Jen took their 7-year-old daughter Violet to martial arts class, where she achieved an orange belt, following a cute kiss.

The Argo actor and director’s life seemed to be doing well following a hectic award season.

Although the actor gave a moving statement to win his Best Picture award, his true desire is to spend more time with his devoted wife: Ben told reporters at the John Varvatos Stuart House Benefit, “I’ve been able to really just enjoy my good fortune in the last couple of weeks and sit back and kind of just take it in and not do anything, just eat ice cream on the couch.” “We’re just enjoying it; it’s been a really nice time to hang out with my wife and that kind of thing.”
