“I’m not running around,” he said.

Ben continued, “I know what my priorities are. You can’t have two things be the most important in your life.
“For me, it’s the kids. So there’s that. And then I have my job, which I love.”
It is worth mentioning that Ben is father to three children, Violet, 20, Seraphina, 17, and Samuel, 14, whom he shares with ex-wife Jennifer Garner.
He added, “I’m where I am, and I’m great, and who knows what adventures life will bring. I’m open to it, but I’m not trying to chase anything.”
Ben also addressed rumors of him being linked to singer Shakira last week.
“To be honest, the first place I hear such nonsense is from people like you,” Ben responded sharply. “I’ve never heard anything like it in my entire life. People gossip. Things are made up.”
