Jennifer Garner beams while bonding with three-year-old son Samuel... as 'there is no reconciliation' with Ben Affleck

She looked in good spirits after a couples-therapy session the previous day, which left many wondering if there was possibility of reconciliation.

But it seems there will be no fairy tale ending for Jennifer Garner when it comes to her relationship with Ben Affleck.

The 43-year-old appeared to shake off those reports as she enjoyed an afternoon of bonding with her son Samuel in the Pacific Palisades neighbourhood of Los Angeles on Friday.

We love the Patina wash because of the hip slimming whiskering and classic indigo blue color that just goes with everything.

An insider for the weekly seemingly dashed hopes that the two would work it out as they claimed: 'There is no reconciliation.

'They are working with a professional because there are emotions involved and they want to make this transition as easy as possible for their family.'

It seems to be working as the pair could not stop smiling as they were spotted out in Santa Monica following a two-hour couples-therapy session.

Ben Affleck could not stop smiling alongside his estranged wife Jennifer Garner in Santa Monica on Thursday. 

The two-time Oscar winner flashed a particularly goofy grin after emerging from a building just behind the Golden Globe winner.

Affleck and Garner - neither of whom wore wedding rings - then hopped into his beloved black Dodge Challenger.

Hours earlier, Jen and Ben fueled reconciliation rumours by arriving separately for a two-hour session at a Brentwood marriage counseling center.

Sources for TMZ also reported on Friday that the Good Will Hunting star has moved out of the family house and in a Pacific Palisades home.

An insider for the gossip site said: 'The damage is already done. They're leading separate lives.' 

The stars announced on June 30 that they were ending their marriage, one day after their ten-year anniversary, but since then both parents have made their children the priority. 

The A-listers have three children together: nine-year-old daughter Violet, six-year-old Seraphina and youngest Samuel, whom Jen was seen out with on Friday.

New nanny! The two stars have three children together - Violet, nine, Seraphina, six, and Samuel, three - while Garner filmed Miracles from Heaven in Atlanta ( as she was pictured with them last Sunday)
