On Sunday Ben Affleck went to church with his probably on-again wife, Jennifer Garner, and their kids. He was carrying baked goods. We very rarely see him going to church with her so many people are taking this as a sign that they’re back together, or at least that they’re heading that way. It’s been a year and a half since the nanny scandal, they still seem to be living together, (even if he’s in a separate home on their estate allegedly), and they still speak highly of each other to the press. So it could be on again, or this could be one of the most amicable separations we’ve seen. Maybe they’re in that kind of bizarre limbo that many couples find themselves in where they don’t want to fully commit to being a couple again but don’t want to give each other’s company up either. At least they’re keeping it nice for their kids, right? Here are ET’s signs that these two are getting back together.
1. The two attend church together on Sundays and still remain close as a family
On Sunday, Ben and Jennifer were spotted attending church services with their three children, daughters Violet, 10, and Seraphina, 7, and 4-year-old son Samuel. The two have continued to closely co-parent their children together since announcing their separation last year.
2. They voted together in the 2016 election
The couple that votes together, stays together? Ben and Jen — both outspoken Hillary Clinton supporters — were snapped voting together at a polling place near their Los Angeles home last Tuesday, proudly sporting their “I Voted” stickers.
3. They still live together
Jennifer and Ben, both 44, are still living together in their home in Los Angeles more than a year after announcing their split.
“He still lives on the property in Brentwood, California, but in separate living quarters,” a source told ET…
4. They haven’t filed any divorce papers
In perhaps one of the biggest signs Jennifer and Ben could be reconciling is the fact that no divorce papers have been filed since they announced their breakup.

Yes these are obvious signs but ET isn’t telling any lies. We’ve seen all these things for months. It could be true that Ben is just ramping up promotion for Live By Night, but that’s not out until January. These two have reached some kind of truce or understanding or maybe things are good for them again. Marriage is complicated and can be difficult for some couples. It does seem like fidelity should be a basic requirement, but it isn’t for everyone. Some people just want a family and the security they think comes along with that. I know that if I was Jennifer Garner I would have kicked Ben Affleck to the curb a long time ago, but she has her own reasons.
