Generally, no. Whether a couple has reconciled or not is a case-by-case analysis. There is no bright-line rule on it. Isolated incidents of sexual intercourse do not generally toll the separation period. However, if a couple “holds themselves out to be married” to the public, and combines that with sharing expenses and resuming their sexual relationship, that is probably enough to toll the separation period.
