Jennifer Garner Takes Her Girls Out To Dinner With Ben Affleck

It’s been over six months since Nannygate and neither Jennifer Garner nor Ben Affleck has filed for divorce yet. We heard that Garner was going to let Affleck pull the trigger, but obviously that hasn’t happened yet. We also heard that Garner was hoping for a reconciliation, which was reported in the tabloids and not confirmed by the official celebrity outlets. The official outlets are reporting that these two went on a family outing with their kid to Montana, where they own a place, for Valentine’s Day. So a reconciliation doesn’t sound out of the question. As with previous stories about these two, there are slightly different versions, with different insider quotes, in the press.

They were seen boarding a private plane Friday, with a source telling PEOPLE that the family arrived at a ski resort in Montana, where they own a condo and they all spent Christmas together last year.

Affleck and Garner arrived at Van Nuys Airport outside Los Angeles with daughter Seraphina, 7, and son Samuel, 3. Their eldest daughter, Violet, 10, did not appear to be with the group.

The exes, who splint June after ten years together, are still living on the same property, with Affleck staying in the guesthouse.

Garner, who was just named as a presenter for the Oscars, and Affleck are working hard to make their pending divorce as smooth as possible for their three kids, a source told PEOPLE.

With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, E! News has learned the Hollywood exes recently flew out of Southern California for a family getaway to Montana.

In addition to their kids tagging along for the trip, a source tells E! News that “they are with family friends” as everyone enjoys a few days near the snow.

It’s further proof that the famous exes are trying to put their children first even if their marital relationship has changed. Last December, the pair took their children to Montana where they celebrated the holiday season with a white Christmas.

“They will be together as a family,” an insider explained at the time. “They continue to put the kids first and spend time with each other for the sake of their children.”

And when not making memories with Violet, Seraphina and Samuel, our source assured us that both parents are “in a good place right now.”

“It hasn’t been easy, especially for Jen,” a source shared with E! News. “But she chooses to look the other way and do what’s best for her kids.” – From E! Online

Ok, so nothing has changed. Why are they telling the press about it then? These reports obviously comes with a nod from Garner’s publicist and the news that she was announced as a presenter at the Oscars. It seems like she made a deal to promote her career through her family life and she’s a ride or die type of person so she’s sticking with it, and with Affleck, through the bitter end. At least they’re not getting papped in Montana.

Lainey points out that Ben Affleck was actually in Toronto on Sunday, where he did a live interview on TNT with Henry Cavill ahead of the NBA Allstar game. She posted this video of their interview. Check out when Ben tries to smile. His face is SO TIGHT. Around 3:00 he puts down Charles Barkley by saying his version of Batman is “Kind of the Charles Barkley Batman, he’s a little out of step, a little old, a little broken down.” Barkley smiles at first and then his face falls. Spoiler: at the end Shaq kisses Ben on the cheek for some reason.

These are photos of Affleck, Garner and their girls going out to eat on Thursday. Radar Online mentions that Affleck has gained some noticeable weight. He looks about the same here as he has the past few weeks, which is heavier than he’s been before. On video he looks pretty normal though. (Affleck is also shown smoking on the set of Live by Night on January 27.)
