It has been more than a year since Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck announced their split, but the estranged couple are reportedly putting their divorce on hold.

Channel.24 quoted a source close to Garner, 44, as saying "Jen mentioned that the divorce was going through very soon, and then a few weeks ago, things changed. It does not seem to be moving in that direction."

"Jen seems to still be in love with Ben but doesn't allow her mind to go there. She just focuses on the kids," the insider added.

The 'Alias' actress and 43-year-old Affleck are still living together with their children in their five-bedroom mansion and it is said that the actor is keen to get their marriage back on track.

However, another source said, "If it was up to Ben, they would be together. He feels like he can't live without Jen."

"They were never in a rush to file. This was always the plan," the insider added.

Garner and Affleck, who shares three kids together, announced last year that they are parting ways after 10 years of marriage.
