Their divorce filings pending, reconciliation rumors are never far from Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck. The latest word is the couple is expecting baby number 4!
Garner and Affleck, who announced they would split about a year ago but have not gone ahead with the filings, have been the center of many reconciliation reports. The couple had Violet, Seraphina and Samuel from their 10-year marriage. Despite separation, Affleck and Garner are said to be on good terms and spend time with their children. Word of a fourth child comes nearly a month after the rumored couple's secret second honeymoon.
Talk of baby number 4 has been around for a while but gained traction after latest In Touch report that quoted an anonymous source close to the couple saying Garner is over the moon but cautious.
"Jen is telling her inner circle she's having a baby and she's happy about it, but being cautious about reuniting with Ben. Ben is hoping another child will bring them back together as a family," the source reportedly said. Garner's distrust is being attributed to the alleged affair Affleck had with their children's nanny.
Not everybody is convinced. Some have wondered if baby rumors are true given that they surfaced as far back as last September. Also, the estranged status of the couple is official and thus, it seems unlikely the couple spent romantic time together. To top it all, until images of a pregnant Garner surface, one can't tell.
However, it is widely known by now that Affleck is keen on making his decade-old marriage work. He has been seen with Garner and his kids despite rumors of him getting close with former flame JLO. Given that neither has pushed for divorce, a fourth child, if on the way, could really pair them up.
