The couple, who are rarely pictured together in public, were spotted yesterday leaving a Midtown Manhattan restaurant.
It’s the first time the pair have been seen together since allegations of Broderick having had a three-month affair with a 25-year-old youth counselor hit the tabloids.
A source said that the 43-year-old actress had told a friend she and Broderick, 46,  ‘had been out of love for a long time but remain married for their son’.
The source added: ‘Sarah and Matthew have been struggling for years. Now they have decided to make things work - especially for the sake of their son, James.’
