“The kids think Jennifer and Ben are very much in love, like soulmates, and they don’t want the two to get divorced,” the insider said.
“They want them to work it out, for better or for worse, as their vows said. And they feel the two should continue counseling and talk about it, even if it’s painful.
“They feel that if they say and do the right things, there can be more peace.”
The children want Ben and Jennifer to get back together before her 55th birthday, which is July 24, the insider said.
“There is hope that they can all celebrate together for a nice family get-together in Los Angeles,” the source added.

“He’s an excitable guy, he can be grumpy, that’s true, he’s not the type to walk around happily, even though he’s very intelligent and funny. The kids try to get him to relax and let things go,” the insider added.

Since Samuel graduated from high school in June, the entire family has not been in the same room.
