Is there hope? Ben Affleck 'told friends he wants Jennifer Garner back' as they have NOT finalized divorce after splitting three years ago
Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck split in June 2015 and filed for divorce in April 2017.
But the actors, both 45-years-old, have yet to finalize their divorce.
In the new issue of UsWeekly, a source claims they may still be dragging their feet as the Batman v Superman actor has told friends that he would like to get back together with the beautiful brunette.
'He had at one point been telling friends he wanted his ex back,' a source told the magazine, even though he has been dating SNL producer Lindsay Shookus, 37.
Family affair: Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner, with Violet, 12, and Seraphina, nine, in LA last week, may work things out one day, according to UsWeekly
Affleck and Garner, who have three children together (Violet, 12, Seraphina, nine, and Samuel, six), were last seen side by side in Los Angeles one week ago.
They looked to be getting along well as they walked with their daughters.
But then another source told UsWeekly he has not been looking back: 'When they filed and decided they were moving on, that was it.'

Also in the new article it was claimed that there was a chance they could have gotten back together in 2017.

'When Ben was in rehab, Jennifer was there every day, visiting,' said the insider.
'They did family counseling to work on their relationship.
'Things looked positive. Jennifer was very caring, very present. They both wanted it to work.'
The star is still with Shookus, who he 'loves and adores,' the source claimed.
But their relationship could ultimately be unrealistic as she lives in New York City, where she works and raises a daughter (the father is ex Kevin Miller), and he lives in LA, where he works and raises three kids.
The two have been flying across the country regularly to keep their love alive.

There is also the issue of Ben and Jen's divorce.
They have been working with a private mediator for years, but they have still not sorted it all out, which suggests they are stalling in case they could reconcile.
Last week she and Ben looked like a solid family unit in LA.
He hugged his only son as the children and Jennifer said goodbyes and continued on their way home after dropping off the kids at school.

Two-time Academy Award winner Ben, who found fame in Oscar-winning Good Will Hunting, married 13 Going On 30 star Jennifer in 2005.
Ben, who was also spotted house-hunting with his current girlfriend Lindsay on Valentine's Day, has faced addiction struggles in recent months and spent time in rehab.
In October, he publicly apologized to actress Hilarie Burton after she revealed he groped her breast during an appearance on Total Request Live in 2003.
