After announcing their split, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner are putting up a united family front in the media. The couple vacationed in the Bahamas with their three children while news of their divorce broke, Garner was seen in public still wearing her wedding ring, then Affleck flew out to Atlanta and is staying in Garner's guesthouse while she films her upcoming movie, People reports.
Affleck, 42, hopped on a private plane on Tuesday to Atlanta where Garner, 43, is on set working on her film "Miracles From Heaven," as previously reported by HNGN. But now sources reveal that he's staying with Garner on the actress' rental property, shacking up in the guesthouse.
"Ben is doing some work there as well," a source told Us Weekly. "But he is mostly going to be with the kids while Jen works."
Sources said Affleck will be on dad duty in Atlanta, taking care of 9-year-old Violet, 6-year-old Seraphina and 3-year-old Samuel while mom works. He was seen dropping the kids off at their summer program at the Lovett School, Us Weekly reports.
A source close to Affleck said it's important to the "Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice" star to keep the family together during this difficult time.
"Ben wanted children and a family his whole life," the source told People. "He didn't grow up with a present father, so his biggest fear was being the dad that only saw his kids on the weekends. He never wanted that."
