There have been swirling rumors that former couple Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner might reconcile after the two spent Thanksgiving together. Rumors reveal that Garner will call off her divorce with Affleck, while the actor will break up with his current girlfriend.

According to InTouch Weekly, Garner recognized the efforts of Affleck into improving his life. A source said that she is extremely understanding about Affleck's battles with alcohol abuse. One proof that Garner already accepted the "Batman" star back to their life is his presence during the family's Thanksgiving dinner.

The star invited her former husband to come over to her home in Los Angeles. She wanted to spend the holiday at home like they used to. The outlet added that a source said that Garner is taking Affleck back and it is a huge step for them. On the other hand, Affleck is also eager to be with his family again. He hoped the Thanksgiving dinner is the first step toward their permanent reunion.

"Ben never wanted this divorce to happen and would absolutely get back together with Jen in a second if she would have him," the source said. In Touch Weekly continued that Affleck is happy that Garner is giving him a second chance.

The possible reunion of the pair devastated Affleck's current flame, "Saturday Night Live" producer Lindsay Shookus. The two are living together in a lavish New York City apartment. People reported that Affleck is paying for the Upper West Side apartment where Shookus is staying for over a month. Rumors say that Shookus broke down in tears when Affleck told her that Garner wants him back.

The two also allegedly had an argument when Affleck decided to spend Thanksgiving with Garner and the kids. Shookus wanted to be with the "Justice League" star during the occasion, but her boyfriend has already set his priorities.

However, when reports about Garner and Affleck's reconciliation surfaced, Gossip Cop was quick to correct it saying there is no truth to the reunion. Instead, the couple just remain amicable despite their split since they wanted to co-parent successfully. Also, the outlet revealed there is no reality to the story that Affleck will dump Shookus.
