Despite the divorce and the cheating scandal, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner are really trying their best to work out their relationship for the sake of their three children.
The former "Daredevil" co-stars were spotted leaving a family counseling center in Los Angeles last month.
"It might seem from the outside that they both gave up on their marriage and stopped receiving counseling together, but that's not who they are," an insider told PEOPLE. "They both had an insane summer and probably just had to take a break [from counseling]."
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner looked much more comfortable and relaxed with each other unlike weeks before they announced their divorce and the actor's alleged affair with their former nanny Christine Ouzounian came out.
"They are both smart when it comes to the kids and will work on putting any conflicts or differences aside," a source explained. "They were friends before they fell in love, and want to continue being friends now." Many people were pleased to see the star of "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" and the "Alias" actress getting along lately, but Matt Damon doesn't seem to be thrilled about it.
According to OK! Magazine, Ben Affleck's best friend doesn't like Jen for him and he knows that their marriage has been in trouble even before Christine Ouzounian came into the actor's life.
"Matt believes Ben's marriage was in shambles way before the nanny," their source said. "There was too much anger there."
"The Martian" actor, who has been friends with the "Gone Girl" star since they were little thinks that things would have been different if his wife would have loosened up a bit.
"Matt wasn't pushing for Ben to end it, but he knows Ben will be happier with another woman," the insider revealed.
However, it seems that Ben Affleck is now determined to fix his relationship with Jennifer Garner. He reportedly ditched Christine Ouzounian so he can focus on his family.
Even if Matt Damon doesn't approve of his best friend's action, there seems to be no more stopping the actor from pursuing his estranged wife.
