It has been a year since Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner announced their split after 10 years of marriage, but speculations about a possible reconciliation continue to haunt the former couple.
Recent reports claim that Affleck and Garner are back together, and they are already expecting their fourth child based on a photo which reportedly shows Garner's baby bump.
But according to a report from News.com.au, when a paparazzi cornered the actress while having dinner with friends in Santa Monica to ask about the rumored pregnancy, Garner simply said: "How 'bout that?"
While this was not a direct confirmation or denial, a source reportedly told Us Weekly that the estranged couple remains separated.
"Jennifer did not take Ben back. There are no plans for a second honeymoon anywhere," the source stated. "They are 100 percent still separated and focused on co-parenting for the kids' sake."
The source also mentioned that the actors already managed to remain friends despite their separation for the sake of their kids --10-year-old Violet, seven-year-old Seraphina and four-year-old Samuel. They also took turns taking care of them while Affleck was working for "The Justice League: Part One" in London.
"A lot of the damage in their relationship has been mended," the source said. "They're in a really good place."
Rumors about Affleck's affair with the kids' former nanny Christine Ouzounian reportedly caused the split, but Garner denied them during an interview with Vanity Fair back in February.
"We had been separated for months before I ever heard about the nanny," the "Miracles from Heaven" star said. "She had nothing to do with our decision to divorce. She was not a part of the equation."
Garner also said in the interview that Affleck is the love of her life, and she would still marry him again if she needs to.
