It’s been three years since Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner announced their split, but it seems they're still working hard to keep things civil for the sake of their kids. According to insiders, the former couple is still attending therapy sessions together in a bid to become better co-parents. Can you imagine sitting in a room with your ex and hashing out all the details of raising kids? It's not easy, but these two seem determined to make it work.

In the latest issue of Life & Style, now on newsstands, a close source revealed that Ben, 46, and Jen, also 46, reunited for a co-parenting therapy session in California on December 4. "They may not be romantically linked anymore, but Ben and Jen will always be in each other’s lives, and that’s why they’re still in counseling," the source said. Sharing joint legal custody of their three children—13-year-old Violet, nine-year-old Seraphina, and six-year-old Samuel—these therapy sessions are crucial for maintaining a harmonious family environment.

Why Therapy? It’s All About the Kids

According to the source, the couple is primarily attending therapy for the benefit of their kids, but it also helps them communicate more effectively as co-parents. They’re meeting with a therapist every month for six months as part of their divorce settlement. "Even though they’ve had many problems in the past, they’re committed to raising their children the best way they can," the source explained. "It’s a win-win situation for Ben and Jen, but especially for Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel." Imagine sitting in a room discussing your child's homework, extracurricular activities, and emotional well-being with your ex. That takes some serious commitment and maturity.

New Relationships and Healthy Boundaries

During these sessions, Ben and Jen have reportedly discussed "creating healthy boundaries." This might be partly due to Jennifer’s new relationship with John Miller. However, recent reports suggest that Jennifer is taking a step back from this relationship to focus on her family. "Jen has slowed things down with John since the word got out they were dating," a source told Entertainment Tonight. "Jen’s children, career, and Ben are her main focus at the moment, and she is not ready for anything too serious." It’s all about balance, isn’t it? Maintaining healthy boundaries is essential for ensuring that new relationships don’t disrupt the family dynamic.

Church Visit: A Sign of Progress?

It seems like all this therapy might actually be paying off. Ben and Jen were recently spotted attending church with their three kids. Could this be a sign that their co-parenting efforts are moving in the right direction? Or maybe they needed a little help from a higher power to sort things out. Whatever the case may be, it’s clear that both Ben and Jen are committed to making things work for the sake of their children. After all, when it comes to family, sometimes you’ve got to go the extra mile.
