It’s been almost two years since Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner announced that they were separating after a decade of marriage. But according to a report from People magazine, the couple is “back from the brink of divorce.’’
“Jen has called off the divorce,’’ a source close to Garner told People. “She really wants to work things out with Ben. They are giving things another try.’’
According to the source, keeping their family intact is an important factor for both Affleck and Garner. The couple has three children together, and reportedly had a small gathering at their Los Angeles home for the fifth birthday of their son, Sam, at the end of February. They’ve also been spotted getting breakfast together and reportedly vacationed with their family in Montana for the 2016 holidays.
In January, Affleck was photographed with Elizabeth Weaver, the founder of Concierge Nursing Care, which specializes in 24-hour in-home detox care for people struggling with addiction. According to one of People’s sources, Affleck’s increased self-care efforts are part of why the couple has backed away from divorce plans.
“Ben is making a big effort to take care of himself,’’ the source told People. “They are not back together, but there seems to be hope. Jen is hoping they can stay married. Ben doesn’t want a divorce either.’’ (Kevin Slane, Boston.com)
