  • Jennifer Garner Visits Young Cancer Patients, Focuses On Work Amid Divorce Drama

    Jennifer Garner took some time to bring joy to young cancer patients amid the heartbreak of her split from Ben Affleck.

    Instead of focusing on the drama, Jennifer is putting her energy into work and spreading hope and love to others.

    During a break from filming Miracles in Heaven in Atlanta, Georgia, this week, Garner, 43, stopped by Scottish Rite hospital with costar Kylie Rogers to spend some time with patients in the pediatric cancer ward.

    According to Us Weekly, one of the families Garner spent time with was the Shepherds, whose son, Henry Shepherd, 9, is being treated with penultimate chemotherapy for Osteosarcoma, a bone cancer.

    “It was a complete surprise. One of the nurses brought her to our door and she walked right in,” Carrie Shepherd said of the visit.

    Henry got a kick out of talking to Garner about her 2014 comedy, Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day.

    “We were talking about the party at the end of the movie, and Henry said when he is cancer-free, he wants a party just like that,” Shepherd’s mom said “Henry told her that, and when she walked out she said, ‘Henry, I hope you get your party.’”

    Carrie Shepherd had nothing but great things to say about Jennifer Garner.

    “She was really sweet, down-to-earth, and very genuine,” Shepherd said. “It certainly lifted the patients’ [spirits], and I think everyone was very thrilled to meet her.”

    Meanwhile, Jennifer Garner is focusing on work with costars Queen Latifah and Martin Henderson on her latest film, which is based on the book Three Miracles From Heaven by Christy Beam.

  • 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 And Ben Affleck Still Wear Rings: Is There Hope?

    Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck shocked the world late last month when the dream Hollywood couple announced that they were divorcing after ten years of marriage and three children.

    Shortly after the announcement, and before a weekend at Comic-Con for Ben and a couple of weeks of filming for Jennifer Garner, it seems the couple had taken their children and found a hiding spot to quietly work out the details of their divorce.

    Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck were seen in a series of pictures sitting somberly, and sometimes quite awkwardly, on some steps outside of their property in the Bahamas as they seemed to take a moment without the kids looking on to discuss important issues.

    Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck used to be very affectionate, and it’s sad to see them sitting there in pain and not touching at all.

    The announcement by the couple read, “After much thought and careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to divorce. 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.”

    Now, as the couple has been spotted out and about since then, Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck have both been photographed wearing their wedding rings.

    While the reasons for their divorce are not known yet, the speculation continues to run wild. And, unfortunately, they seem to center around Ben.

    Many say that Jennifer Garner couldn’t take any more of Ben’s drinking and gambling issues. Still others say that Ben has been cheating.

    However a source said of Ben early on, “He’s devastated. Nobody intends to go down this path. They both battled, and he really battled to try and save the marriage but ultimately it was the best thing for the kids and for him and Jen.”

    What do you think? Could the sightings of Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck still wearing their rings be a sign of hope for their marriage?

  • Jennifer Garner, Ben Affleck Can’t Seem To Summon the Courage to Remove Wedding Rings

    Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck can’t seem to summon the courage to remove their wedding rings after a decade of marriage.

    Garner, 42, was spotted in Atlanta, Georgia, over the weekend still sporting her silver band, while Ben Affleck still wore his during an appearance at Comic-Con in San Diego on Saturday and later when he joined Garner and the kids in Atlanta.

    The Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice star jetted to Atlanta to be with his children Violet, nine, Seraphina, six, and Samuel, three, where he stayed in the guest house of Garner’s rented property.

    Last week, the couple announced they were divorcing after 10 years of marriage, but the estranged couple seem to be holding on to what was once dear.

    Affleck kept his ring on while visiting the Center for Civil and Human Rights museums in Atlanta on Thursday with Violet.

    Ben and Jennifer reportedly plan to remain living on the same property in Los Angeles as they go through the divorce proceedings, so Affleck can be near the children.

    In what may seem surprising, the family made a trip to the Bahamas as news broke of their impending divorce. Photos snapped show two people struggling over the end of a marriage.

    “These are two people who really tried to save their marriage and worked really hard at it,” a source told People magazine.

  • 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.
