  • Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner ‘Put On Their Happy Faces’ For the Kids

    Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner are keeping up the appearance that all is well with their family despite their impending divorce, but for a very good cause — their three children.

    The Batman star and Garner, 43, could not save their marriage, but that doesn’t mean they want to harm their children — Violet, nine, Seraphina, six, and Samuel, three — in the process.

    The estranged couple continues to show a happy home front by living on the same rental property in Atlanta, Ga., while Jennifer Garner films her upcoming movie, Miracles From Heaven. Ben Affleck, 42, is reportedly staying in the guesthouse of the five-bedroom, 5,114-square-foot home, to care for the children while she works. .

    “They both put on their happy faces and don’t show any signs of anger or frustration,” a source told Us Weekly of the couple who are still sporting their wedding rings.

    “They definitely play happy family in front of the kids.”

    The kids parents also work hard to insure that all three get one-on-one time with each parent. “Ben and Jen have always made a point to do that so each kid gets special bonding time,” another insider said.

    In fact, shortly after arriving in Atlanta, Affleck was spotted spending some daddy-daughter time with Violet at the Atlanta Center for Civil and Human Rights on July 9, and the little girl looked happy during the educational adventure.

    The happy home front will be maintained when the family returns to Los Angeles. Garner and Ben Affleck will renovate the guesthouse on their $17.5 million property so that Affleck can stay there, and allow them to continue co-parenting as best as they can.

    “They want to fill their children’s lives with as much love as possible and make sure they know they have two parents who love them to pieces,” a source told Us.

  • Jennifer Garner Wraps Divorce Announcement Vacation With Ben Affleck and Kids, Starts Filming ‘Miracles from Heaven’ in Atlanta

    Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck wrapped up their divorce announcement vacation with their kids in the Bahamas this weekend, with Garner heading to Atlanta to start filming a faith-based movie. The actress will star in Miracles from Heaven, which is based on the book Three Miracles from Heaven by Christy Beam.

    It was just last week that Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner announced that they are, in fact, divorcing, following months of speculation that their marriage was over.

    The two announced the split via a joint statement, just one day after their tenth wedding anniversary.

    “After much thought and careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to divorce,” they told People magazine via their statement. “We go forward with love and friendship for one another and a commitment to co-parenting our children whose privacy we ask to be respected during this difficult time. This will be our only comment on this private, family matter. Thank you for understanding.”

    Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck wanted their kids–Violet, Seraphina, and Sam–away from the public eye before announcing their divorce. They squirreled the whole family away to property they own in the Bahamas to stay out of the path of the media.

    Garner and Affleck plan to co-parent their children, but no details as to how that will happen with their busy acting careers has yet been mentioned.

    “They plan on co-parenting and doing absolutely everything in the best interest of the kids,” a source explains, adding that the three children are “their top priority.”

    Perhaps filming this faith-based movie will in some way be healing for Jennifer Garner. The film follows the life of a young girl who suffers from a rare digestive disorder. After a serious accident, she finds herself mysteriously cured.

    Sometimes spiritual healing can mend aching hearts and stressed out minds. Being a mom is enough of a stressor these days. Being a single mom is even more of one. Hopefully Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck both find what they need to proceed as nurturing parents as their family begins what undoubtedly will become a whirlwind of changes in the coming weeks and months.
