Ok, so Ben Affleck is could be taking a private jet out of town to shoot Suicide Squad, but according to some reports, he's actually hopping a plane to Atlanta to be with his kids. Jen's in the southern city filming Miracles From Heaven and has Seraphina, Violet and Samuel with her.
Ben and Jen haven't been apart that long -- they took their three children to the Bahamas after announcing their split last week. Jen flew to Atlanta on Sunday to start shooting her new film, while Ben headed back to LA, solo. Seems like he's missing his kids already, though!
And while Affleck may have taken off his wedding ring, but he will continue to live in the couple's Pacific Palisades mansion, and a source tells Us Weekly, "They don't want this to be War of the Roses. They want it to be simple, and this takes the drama out of it. It is important for them to keep this nice and efficient for the sake of their family." They never said it wouldn't be awkward though ... especially when one of them starts dating someone new! And you KNOW that's going to happen sooner rather than later for Ben...
Yesterday Ben's rep shot down rumors that the Oscar winner had been romancing Suicide Squad co-star Margot Robbie, and while a few websites have noted that Ben's "vices" led to the demise of his ten-year marriage, a number of media outlets blame Ben's workaholic nature.
"Ben's frequent absences didn't work for this marriage," a source tells People. Another insider added, "Ben is a good dad when he is around, but he has so many outside interests and personal issues to get beyond. It had become a bigger problem than either had imagined." Yet another source tells the mag Affleck "was a good husband and loves and cares for his wife and family. He was juggling that as well as his career — everyone knows that juggling a family and career is hard."
