We got a request to cover Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner’s non-reconciliation reunion. From what I’ve seen and read, it looks like more of the same from Ben and Jen – they’re sort of back together, but they don’t want to phrase it that way and the timing happens to be very convenient for Ben’s projects, particularly Live By Night, which I’m sure he’s hoping is Oscar-baity. So here were are again with more church and breakfast outings. Because those pap photos aren’t enough to get the attention of people who pay only a passing interest in gossip, People has a report about how they’re doing. The subtext is that they’re back together and we’re supposed to imagine this idyllic scene where they gradually realize that they’re meant for each other:

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner aren’t letting their separation spoil the holidays.

“Jen and Ben spent Thanksgiving Day together with the kids at home,” a source tells PEOPLE, adding that Garner’s parents were also with them in Los Angeles.

“They cooked and seemed to have a great time,” says the source.

Despite announcing they were separating over a year ago, the source says the amicable exes are still living together and “things haven’t changed much” since they split. “There are no plans for a divorce,” adds the source.

However, the source also notes that Garner “denies that they are getting back together.” A friend of the actress previously told PEOPLE that Garner has denied reconciliation rumors to pals and “doesn’t seem to mind at all that [the divorce] is not finalized.”

Still, the Batman v Superman actor is “making a big effort to spend as much time with their kids as possible.” And the duo still enjoy spending time together as well. “It’s almost like they are back to being the family they were a few years ago,” says the source.

Ok, that’s what we figured was happening. Thanks for the update.

I’m also here for the pictures of Ben and Matt together again. They were seen outside a studio in LA together on Tuesday. While I don’t care as much about Ben and Jen’s relationship I want to be a fly on the wall when Ben and Matt are hanging out. What do they talk about exactly? Do they talk about sports, their kids, their wives? There are certainly business decisions to be made, particularly about their new show, Incorporated, which premiered last night on Syfy network. (I DVRed it but haven’t seen it yet.) So these two are working as producers again, which is smarter than doing more Project Greenlight honestly.

Checking out these photos of Ben and Matt – they kind of let themselves… rest when they’re not in training for a film right? Don’t get me wrong they look great and I still would it’s just that both of them aren’t as fit as they are when they’re in action films. (Although Affleck pretty much looks the same as he always does lately.)

Pictures of Ben and Jen are from 11/19, 11/27 and 11/28. Pictures of Ben and Matt are from 11/29. Credit: FameFlynet
