Ben Affleck might actually be making a good decision this time! Not sure we can say the same for Lindsay Shookus ...

The former couple are back ON, according to a Us Weeklynew report. "They’ve been talking and have seen each other again. Ben is in a much better place health-wise and is a lot happier," the source tells the mag. And apparently it was Lindsay who reached out the Ben!

Affleck, 46, and the SNL producer Shookus, 38, broke up in August, right before Ben headed to rehab.

Lindsay even packed up and moved out to LA briefly but returned to New York full time when things didn't work out. In fact, Us Weekly's source says, "They will keep talking and see what happens. It wouldn’t be surprising if they got back together, but with the distance and living on different coasts it’s difficult."

We'll see, indeed! Maybe that's why Ben had a spring in his step this morning ...
