Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner reportedly call off divorce

Two years ago Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner announced their separation, however in a recent interview a source close to the couple said they have called off their divorce.

Speaking to People magazine a source close to Jennifer said "She really wants to work things out with Ben. They are giving things another try."

Whilst another source close to the couple said they both made the decision,

"There is always a chance of reconciliation. They love each other. They also really, really love their kids, and those kids love their parents."

Since separating in 2015 the couple have continued to spend a lot of time together as they share three children from their 12 year marriage.

The source told People the day after the Oscars the former couple hosted a small party to celebrate their son's fifth birthday, "The girls had wrapped presents for Sam their son, including superhero toys. They had a cake. Everyone seemed happy" the source said.

Last year Jennifer revealed how she felt about Ben in an interview with Vanity Fair saying,

"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. 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."

The pair are both dedicated to their children and in January Ben told People that he liked taking his kids to school, "having them know their dad is there. That feels good," he said.

While Ben and Jennifer are not back together "there seems to be hope" according to the source close to Jennifer.
