Although Jennifer Garner [1] and Ben Affleck [2]'s relationship may legally be still very much estranged, the former couple [3] is apparently putting aside their differences so they can spend Christmas together with their three kids, Violet, 10, Seraphina, 6, and Samuel, 3. "They will be together as a family," a source revealed to E! [4]. "They continue to put the kids first and spend time with each other for the sake of their children."

Given Jen and Ben's
seemingly friendly public outings [5], as well as the actress's great relationship with Ben's mom [6], this news doesn't necessarily come as much of a surprise. The insider also spilled that the Affleck-Garners will be opting for a white Christmas in Montana with their children instead of spending the holidays in LA. See how other stars have been celebrating the season [7] this year, and then check out photos of Jennifer's recent stroll with friends [8]!
