The doting mother held hands with her youngest daughter Seraphina, as the family jetted back following an extended trip to visit Ben Affleck.

While Jennifer has made the most of her time in Europe, enjoying trips to Paris and Venice from the family's London base, it must feel great to finally be back home.

The 44-year-old actress certainly looked in a good mood as she strode through Los Angeles airport following the transatlantic flight.

Put your best foot forward in Brunello Cucinelli trainers

As Jennifer Garner wandered around London with Ben Affleck and their children, she donned very casual attire.

The actress was dressed in a comfortable jeans, shirt and trainer combination that was no doubt perfect for exploring the city with her family.

Despite the off-duty approach to her look, it certainly didn't come cheap. The footwear for starters was over £1k!

Jennifer's trainers are by Brunello Cucinelli and the beige pair feature a beaded stripe to each side, providing a bit of much needed sparkle.

Friends of the former couple, who have spent much of their time together in recent months, have told Us Weekly that they are heading towards a full reunion.

A number of sources spoke to the magazine about the changing nature of the former couple's relationship.

With Ben based in London while he films The Justice League: Part One and his estranged wife joining him with their children, the pair have been spending a lot of time together away from the stresses of Hollywood.

And, according to Us Weekly it's working, especially after yet another quick getaway.

Last month they headed to Paris for a mini vacation and, more recently, went to Italy and stayed as a family, at Venice's Gritti Palace hotel. 

A friend of the couple told the magazine that the mini getaways had helped rekindle the flame between the pair and while they are not back together, Jen is changing her tune and open to it.

The Ben source said: 'They're co-parenting while he's filming. That's all it is.'
