The rumor that Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner have decided to get back together now that their fourth child is on the way continues to take center stage.

Radar Online is reporting that Affleck has developed newfound hope on the relationship because of the pregnancy while Garner reportedly "couldn't be happier."

"All she's ever wanted is for Ben to stop boozing and partying—and to recommit to their family. With this new baby on the way, he's making all the right promises," an apparent source claimed.

Interestingly, Gossip Cop is claiming that the pregnancy rumor is not true and that Garner and Affleck are not backing down on the divorce, which they filed last summer.

Interestingly, they have not made this separation official yet by filing the papers, and a source that spoke to Entertainment Tonight claims that Affleck and Garner are seriously considering getting back together.

"They still have not officially filed paperwork for a divorce," the insider told the site, even adding that the stars "don't know if that will ever happen."

There are a lot of reasons media outlets are looking at that suggest the couple will be back together. First is that they are still very much like family while taking care of their three kids as co-parents.

They still attend mass every Sunday, with an eyewitness telling ET that they sat "very close to each other" and "there wasn't any distance between them." They are even spotted out and about with the kids following the split.

Most recently, Affleck and Garner also went to the polling precinct together during the presidential elections to cast their votes.

Also, the fact that they still live together in their home in Los Angeles (but in separate quarters) to effectively take care of the kids suggest that things might not be over between the two for good.

However, with contradicting claims and with nothing official yet, fans are advised to take these reports with a grain of salt.
