Jennifer Lopez, Ben Affleck working through differences amid divorce proceedings; here's why

Despite their highly publicised divorce proceedings, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck continue to spend time together. The couple, married for two years, filed for divorce in August, coinciding with their second marriage anniversary. JLo and Ben's frequent sightings together have sparked reconciliation rumours—but sadly, the divorce is still very much on.

So, why is Bennifer spending time together?

A recent ET Online report revealed that Bennifer trying to navigate their relationship is not in an attempt to save their failed marriage but to make it work through difficulties for the sake of their kids. A source told the publication, "They all got very close during their relationship, and there's still a great deal of love there." Just last month, the estranged couple came together to attend their kids' back-to-school night and later grabbed eyeballs with a family outing at the Beverly Hills.

The source also revealed that Jennifer and Ben cannot go out of contact as they have shared business interests. It added that the couple is taking divorce amicably and chalking out their differences as they also have joint properties. "Jen and Ben are still working through sorting out property and projects that they had vested interests in, and it's not as if they can just cut each other out of one another's lives so quickly," says the source.
