It’s been more than 10 months since Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner announced that they where getting a divorce, but it seems that there is still a chance of reconciliation between the two.
Just recently, the Hollywood heartthrob and the 44-year-old actress reunited with their son Samuel in California. They were spotted having breakfast with their 4-year-old child in Country Mart.
According to E! News , the former Alias star dropped off their two daughters first before meeting up with the Argo actor in the parking lot. She, her estranged husband and Samuel went to their son’s school where they probably had a meeting.
“They were together and looked like a happy family all over again,” their insider said. “It’s hard to think of them as separated.”
The news site also reported that Samuel was all smiles, presumably because he was able to spent quality time with his parents. The couple’s daughters Violet, 10, and Seraphina, 7, later on joined their brother and mother after school.
The divorce of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner became controversial when the actor was linked to their former nanny Christine Ouzounian. Multiple sources revealed to Us Weeklythat the Oscar winner has been dating the blonde beauty, who they hired to take care of their three children.
According to the website, the actress fired their former nanny when she discovered their romance. However, Affleck and Ouzounian reportedly continued to get in touch with each other through email and text.
“She says Ben really, really likes her,” said Christine’s pal. “She’s saying this is true love.”
The 43-year-old actor denied the cheating rumors. His representative released a statement saying that the allegations are baseless and untrue. During an interview with Vanity Fair a few months ago, Jennifer Garner finally breaks her silence on her divorce and her estranged husband’s affair with their former nanny.
“We had been separated for months before I ever heard about the nanny. She had nothing to do with our decision to divorce. She was not a part of the equation,” she explained.
“Bad judgment? Yes. It’s not great for your kids for [a nanny] to disappear from their lives,” she added. “I have had to have conversations about the meaning of ‘scandal’ [with her children].”
Despite the messy divorce, Jennifer Garner has nothing but good things to say about her estranged husband Ben Affleck. She admitted that she doesn’t regret marrying the actor and their three children are a testament of her love for him.
“He’s the love of my life. What am I going to do about that ? He’s the most brilliant person in any room, the most charismatic, the most generous. He’s just a complicated guy,” Jen said. “I always say, ‘When his sun shines on you, you feel it.’ But when the sun is shining elsewhere, it’s cold. He can cast quite a shadow.”
Last month, Ben Affleck also showered Jennifer Garner with praisesduring his interview with CBS This Morning. According to Mirror, the Hollywood superstar revealed that he follows his estranged wife’s style in parenting because she’s been a great mother to their three kids.
“We’re doing our very best and we’re putting our kids first and that’s how we’re focusing on our day to day lives and we don’t know what the future’s gonna hold, but each step that we take is one where we prioritize our children and everything else comes second,” he said.
Despite the ongoing divorce process, Ben insists that he’s excellent friends with Jen and she has high praise for her.
“I am a giant fan of Jennifer. She’s just a fabulous person. She’s just a wonderful person. She’s a great mother. She’s a real talent,” he added.
It is still unsure if Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner will reunite for good and call off their divorce. However, the couple may reconsider things and surprise their fans on their wedding anniversary in June.
