He may have moved out of the family home last week but Ben Affleck was with his estranged wife Jennifer Garner and their three children for church on Sunday as usual.

The actor, 44, who is working on his sobriety following a stint in rehab, was a doting dad as he carried his youngest, Samuel, five, on his shoulders while holding hands with daughters Violet, 11, and Seraphina, eight.

Garner, 45, seemed equally relaxed as the family sticks to its regular routine.

The celebrity couple finally decided last month to move ahead with divorce after almost two years of separation, seeking to formally end their marriage after more than a decade.

They have agreed to share physical and legal custody of their children, according to court documents.

Affleck and Garner had continued to live in the same compound during their separation but E! News reported the two-time Oscar winner has finally moved out to a place of his own. 

'They didn't want to alarm the kids or have them feel like Ben was leaving, so he has slowly moved out over time. But....he will be living at his new home.'

Now that Ben has moved out to a home of his own nearby, the children will slowly start to divide their time between the two residences, insiders have claimed.

A source told E! News: 'They really want the kids to continue with their same routine and have assured them that that's not going to change. However, in the next few weeks, they will start to spend regular time at Ben's house as well.' 

'They will continue to spend holidays together and take family vacations.'
