LOS ANGELES, Jan. 10 (UPI) -- Ben Affleck says his preteen daughters are crazy about Disney and Taylor Swift.

The 44-year-old actor explained on Tuesday's episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show that he bonds with Violet and Seraphina, his 11-year-old and 8-year-old daughters with Jennifer Garner, by listening to Radio Disney and going to Taylor Swift shows.

"I've become an expert on the tweens. I don't know how much Radio Disney you listen to, but I hear quite a bit. When we get in the car, it's gotta come on right away. It's gotta stay on the entire time," Affleck told host Ellen DeGeneres.

"I hear a lot about the romantic adventures of Disney characters who are on the Disney Channel, we go to Taylor Swift concerts, and that's my life. Taylor Swift is great, by the way. She's a great role model," he added.

Affleck shares Violet, Seraphina and 4-year-old son Samuel with Garner, from whom he split in June 2015 after 10 years of marriage. He gushed about the 44-year-old actress and their family in a Time Talks interview in December.

"In my career or otherwise, [the most defining moment of my life] is the birth of my children. The entrance of my children into the world," the star declared.

"[Jennifer is the] world's greatest mom," he added. "It's a joy to hang out with [our kids]. I think the meaning of life is to make good people."

Affleck will next star in the drama Live by Night, which opens in theaters Friday. His younger brother, Casey Affleck, won a Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Drama on Sunday for Manchester by the Sea.
