After the highly publicized Hollywood couple breakup of movie stars Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck, both camps confirmed they will still live together in their large estate to "co-parent" their three kids. However, reports said Affleck may be moving in to model-actress Brooke Shields' house.

Shields and then-husband Andre Agassi bought the L.A. mansion in 1997 but decided to put it up for rent in June for $30,000 a month. Affleck will be renting out the house but not for long, E! News reported. A source told the entertainment news site that it will "merely be a back-up plan" if the ongoing renovation of their family home takes longer than expected.

Shields's home is only a few houses away from the family property, which makes it more convenient for their set-up, the report added.

In earlier reports, the ex-couple had their estate renovated to make room for Garner and Affleck to still live close by in the same property though not necessarily in the same house with their children Violet, 9; Seraphina, 6; and Samuel, 3.

Garner is currently in Atlanta with their kids filming her new movie "Miracles from Heaven." So while work goes on in their home, neither one of them "wants to live in a construction zone," a source told New York Post.

An aerial photo of the ex-couple's home emerged showing a new structure being built nearby which was speculated to be Affleck's "man cave" close to their children, the news site learned.

Meanwhile, in a report by the International Business Times, divorce attorneys Barry Slotnick and John Shea have a different take on the ex-couple's decision to continue living together. Though this is commendable, the lawyers added that "couples who choose to continue living together after divorce tend to run into problems when other relationships begin to form."
