Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner decide to call off their divorce
LOS ANGELES: Hollywood couple Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck have called off their divorce, sources have told People.
They had announced their separation in June 2015.
Both aged 44, Affleck and Garner aren’t back together, but have decided to keep working on their marriage after going through a recent rough patch that nearly led to a permanent split.
“Jen has called off the divorce,” a source close to Garner told People in its latest issue. “She really wants to work things out with Ben. They are giving things another try.”
But a source close to the couple says it was a decision they both made: “There is always a chance of reconciliation. They love each other. They also really, really love their kids, and those kids love their parents.”
The day after Affleck reunited with buddy Matt Damon on the Oscars stage, the former couple hosted a small gathering at their Los Angeles home to celebrate their son Samuel’s fifth birthday, along with daughters Violet, 11, and Seraphina, eight.
“The girls had wrapped presents for Sam, including superhero toys. They had a cake. Everyone seemed happy,” says a source.
Since their split amid rumours that Affleck had been having an affair with a nanny, the pair have been the example of coparenting.
