The reconcilled couple looked happy to be back in the public eye together.

Last month, Michael's mother Diana Dill told HELLO! magazine that the pair's 13-year-marriage was on the mend. "They are together. I knew they would work it out," said Diana. "They're both gentle people, not hysterical. They're always very affectionate and easy with each other."

They spent three long vacations together. Something's working. They went to Canada, they have a place in Quebec, they went to Bermuda and they went to the Caribbean with the kids on vacation. They've had a lot of time in the last two months."

"Sometimes people take a little bit of a break, but it doesn't necessarily mean that's the end," he said. "I'm very hopeful."
