Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner to reconcile?

Stop everything; although 2016 has undeniably been one of the worst years in living memory it might not be all bad, with there being new hope that Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck are set to reconcile.

Eek, how exciting.

Although we don’t want to get too ahead of ourselves, the estranged pair have reportedly been having couple’s therapy after announcing that they were going to divorce early last year.

Jen and Ben were spotted leaving the counselling session after two hours inside, returning home together.

A photographer told X17 Online: “Even though they didn’t look super happy when they emerged from counselling, they got in the car together and went home together.

“They always look happiest when they’re with their kids so I’m sure they were headed back to spend time with them. Ben and Jen really seem like they want to make it work for their family.”

The couple are mum and dad to 10-year-old Violet, Seraphina, seven, and Samuel, four, with the pair previously being praised for their healthy post-split attitude and brilliant co-parenting.

Ben previously said of parenting as a team after their split: “We do our best. We try our best.”

Despite calling for a divorce last year, Ben and Jen had perhaps the most amicable celebrity split we’ve ever seen, with Ben even moving into a home within the grounds of the family’s mansion so that he can remain close to the children.

They also spent Thanksgiving, Valentine’s Day and Christmas together as a family.

In short, if any couple are able to see it through the darkest days, we’re willing to bet that it’s these two – and we will certainly be keeping our fingers crossed.
