LOS ANGELES, March 9 — Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck have reportedly put their divorce on hold, or so a report in the March 20 issue of People magazine claims.

It is thought that the couple, while not officially reconciled, have decided to keep working on their marriage.

They announced their separation back in June 2015 shortly after their 10-year anniversary amid widespread rumours at the time suggesting Affleck had a fling with the family nanny.

“Jen has called off the divorce,” a source close to Garner was quoted as saying in the report.

“She really wants to work things out with Ben. They are giving things another try.”

The source also indicated that the couple’s three children played a significant role in their mutual decision.

“There is always a chance of reconciliation. They love each other. They also really, really love their kids, and those kids love their parents.”
