Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner managed to escape the press for almost a week by taking a joint holiday in the Bahamas as soon as their divorce announcement went public. Now though, they are back to reality, and the first post-split pictures have emerged.

After the long-planned trip, Ben returned briefly to Los Angeles at the weekend, while Jennifer flew onward to Atlanta with the former couple's three children, Violet, 9, Seraphina, 6, and Samuel, 3. Batman star Ben was pictured walking in his home neighbourhood of Brentwood on Saturday, and onlookers say there was no sign of a wedding ring.

The father of three yesterday flew out to Atlanta to take care of the kids while his estranged wife continued work on her upcoming movie Miracles From Heaven. He was again pictured with no ring on as he boarded a private jet to fly cross-country.

As for Jennifer, she did not seem quite as ready to let go of the past, as she was snapped on Monday with her silver wedding ring still on prominent display. The actress wore a short denim dress and sandals as walked on the set of her new film.

While the couple will have a lot to discuss as they work on splitting their assets and figuring out custody issues, so far they seem to be making a solid effort to remain amicable. Ben is even set to remain living on his and Jen's California property, albeit in a different area of the grounds to Jennifer and the kids.

We hope the pair continue to stay on such good terms in the coming months.

After their divorce announcement earlier this week, it was reported that Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner would remain living on the same property, but that's not all they're doing together.

Ben and Jen promised they would remain united for the sake of their three children and they seem to be going out of their way to do just that. E! News confirmed last night that the whole family is currently on holidays together in the Bahamas.

The couple are keen to work together to co-parent their children, Violet, 9, Seraphina, 6, and Samuel, 3.

This holiday was probably a long time planned and seems like the perfect getaway for the family as the news of the divorce dominates headlines this week. 

A source told Us Weekly that Ben and Jen were waiting until the end of the school year before making their big announcement. "They got the kids out of L.A. as soon as school was out," the source tells Us. "[The Bahamas] is a place they’ve been going to for years that’s very private and special for their kids. When either of them have had work commitments they have been leaving to go fulfill them."
 

The couple announced their divorce on Tuesday after ten years of marriage and a source close to the pair told E! News that they have been separated for about 10 months. 

This pattern of dropping the news bombshell then jetting off is one we have definitely seen before. Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow similarly headed off on holidays immediately after releasing a statement about their divorce in 2014.

After weeks of speculation, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner sadly confirmed last night that they were splitting up after ten years of marriage. 

The pair, who were always considered one of Hollywood's strongest couples, told the media that they had made the "difficult decision" to divorce.

With three children together and a multi-million dollar estate to divide up, Ben and Jennifer definitely have a long and complicated road ahead, but by the sounds of it they are working hard to keep things extremely amicable.

So much so, in fact, that they won't even be living apart. The pair apparently both plan to remain on their €14 million property in Brentwood, Los Angeles, though it's thought they will live in separate areas of the acre-wide estate. Given that the property includes a 9,900 square foot mansion as well as pool house, the former couple won't be stuck for space.

Ben and Jennifer are reportedly keen to remain living close together so that they can work to co-parent their children, Violet, 9, Seraphina, 6, and Samuel, 3. "They don’t want it to be contentious," a source told Us Weekly. 

"A lot of people say that but they are doing things to ensure that it won’t be. There is a lot of love there but, they are doing what is best for everybody."

When it comes to finances, many had speculated that the reason the couple chose to announce their divorce just one day after their ten-year anniversary was to ensure Jennifer was legally entitled to spousal support from Ben, as per California law, but according to TMZ the last thing Jennifer needs is her husband's money.

While Ben has made profits from his many independent movies in recent years, Jennifer's run on Alias made her "a massive amount of money" and so the couple are fairly equal in terms of finances, a source told the gossip site.
