With the big divorce between Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner going on, the family needed a little something to cheer them up, so what better way to do that than with a new fluffy friend?
On Monday, Affleck was photographed holding an adorable golden retriever puppy as he arrived in Atlanta, according to People. "It's their new puppy," a source close to the couple said. "It's a family dog. It's another sign they are working together to raise kids and be in a kind relationship."
This is the second time this month that the 42-year-old "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" star has flown to Georgia, where Garner is filming her new movie, to see his three children, Violet, Seraphina and Samuel.
The cute little puppy isn't the only thing people are noticing about the photos, though, because it's very obvious that his wedding ring is still there. Apparently, they have both decided to keep their rings on in an attempt to help the kids cope with the divorce. "They just want them to be okay," another source told People.
Affleck and Garner announced their divorce just a month ago, after being together for 10 years. They will continue to co-parent their children to make this as easy for them as possible, and are doing everything they can for the kids during this tough time. Their children are their "top priority" and they just want to keep it "nice and efficient for the sake of their family."
The puppy is just one of the many things they are doing to keep their children happy. The dog was actually first adopted in May, shortly before they made their divorce public, according to Us Weekly. They took their daughters to a dog adoption place in the Pacific Palisades to see a litter of golden retriever puppies, and they ended up walking away with this fluff-ball.
