Hawaii Five Oh! Ben & Jen's Island Reunion

The exes turn up the heat

It looked like a picture-perfect family vacation as a smiling Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck enjoyed some fun-filled days off with their three children in Honolulu, Hawaii, over the Easter holidays.

But while the former couple are said to have moved on, their closeness on the trip – even enjoying a private walk and catch-up together – made many wonder if Mr and Mrs Affleck could be back on track.

“Jen was planning to only spend a few days in Hawaii with Ben and the kids, then leave them with the nanny so that he could have quality time with them,” a source explains. “Easter has always been very important to Jen and they typically go to church as a family.”

But the insider reveals that Jennifer, 45, changed her mind at the last minute and decided to extend her break in Hawaii, where Ben is filming his Netflix action movie Triple Frontier.

Since the couple split in June 2015, finally filing divorce papers in April last year, they have both spoken of the importance of continuing a normal family unit for their children, Violet, 12, Seraphina, nine, and six-year-old Samuel.
