Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck put on a united front for dinner date without their children... hours after tense family outing
They have been working on amicably co-parenting their three children after announcing their intention to divorce in June.
But it was an 'adults only' affair when Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner spent the evening together on Sunday.
The two stars, who have been married for 10 years, were seen leaving Nobu in Malibu, California after a dinner date, where they were apparently joined by some family members.

Amicable exes: Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner had dinner together in Malibu, California on Sunday
According to Entertainment Tonight, Ben and Jennifer – both 43 – arrived at the upscale restaurant at around 9pm and left three hours later.
The website reports that the former couple drove to and from the eatery together and the Gone Girl star was seen opening his estranged wife’s door for her.
While fans of Bennifer II will no doubt hope this means a reunion could be on the cards, it seems the meal may have been just friendly, and there were no public displays of affection between the pair.

Stay simple in a contrast tank by Rag and Bone
Aww, we hate to see these two fighting but at least it gives us a chance to gawp at what Jennifer Garner's wearing. (silver lining?)
Jennifer has a unique way of working with basics, unlike other A-listers she dresses a bit more unassuming-- splurges on important items and relies heavily on the high market for things like jeans and sneakers.
She meant bussiness today as she wore a black silk tank, bordered with a white trim from Rag and Bone. She paired it effortlessly with black trouser pants and court shoes for an overall sophisticated look.
The (almost) all black ensemble was saved by the pop of white in her top and for that we're hot to imitate her look.

Though for some, that still might break the bank, so fear not! Because we got you covered in our edit below with more affordable alternatives.
Adults only: The actors, both 43, were not joined by their children, but are said to have dined with other family members
Jennifer dressed up for the evening in an all-black outfit, consisting of a loose-fitting sleeveless top and trousers with sling back heels.
The 13 Going On 30 star also carried a blazer, and left her chestnut brown hair down, completing her look with natural make-up.
Meanwhile Ben cut a suave figure in a pale blue shirt, jeans and black dress shoes, with a suit jacket in hand.
He was not wearing his wedding band, while Jennifer had moved hers to her middle finger when she was spotted grabbing coffee on Tuesday morning.

Tense: The dinner came hours after the former couple looked as though they were having a heated conversation at the farmers' market
She was joined by one of the new nannies she has hired in the wake of Ben’s alleged relationship with the children’s former nanny Christine Ouzounian.
The actor has dismissed claims he was romantically involved with Ouzounian as ‘garbage’, and he and Jennifer have largely been spotted putting on a united front ever since.
The friendly dinner date on Sunday came hours after the exes were pictured having a tense conversation while at a local farmers’ market with their three youngsters – Violet, nine, Seraphina, six, and three-year-old Samuel.

Ben and Jennifer were spotted together once again the following day, looking distant while they drove around in his car.
The pair sparked rumours they might be giving their marriage another go earlier this month, when they were spotted arriving separately for a two-hour couples therapy session.
However a source promptly told People: '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.'
