<p id=”par-1_37″><a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/jennifer-garner/”>Jennifer Garner</a> has almost been with John Miller as long <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/jennifer-garner-john-miller-longer-ben-affleck.html/”>as she was with Ben Affleck</a>. According to some sources, Garner’s new relationship with Miller has had some positive side-effects on the Affleck family in the past.</p>

<p id=”par-2_51″>Insiders once alleged that Miller demonstrated he was Garner’s perfect match in more ways than one. The entrepreneur reportedly couldn’t have gotten along better with <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/jennifer-garner-sends-boyfriend-john-miller-home-10-p-m-not-sleep-kids-home-source-says.html/”>his partner’s kids</a>, which endeared him to both Garner and Affleck. If sources are to be believed, this made Affleck just as happy as his ex-wife.</p>
<p id=”par-3_31″>“He’s very pleased Jen has found a guy to make her happy, someone who clearly treats her well and who’s respectful to their kids,” a source once told <a href=”https://okmagazine.com/p/ben-affleck-pleased-jennifer-garner-john-miller-relationship/”>Ok!</a> About Affleck.</p>
<p id=”par-4_20″>Additionally, Affleck and Garner seemed to both agree at one point that Miller made an ideal stepfather to their family.</p>
<p id=”par-5_41″>“John has run the gauntlet to show that he’s husband and stepdad material, which meant he had to prove himself not just to Jennifer but to Ben as well,” another source alleged. “Luckily, he’s passed all those tests with flying colors.”</p>

<p id=”par-6_40″>Other insiders supported reports that Affleck had a <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/ben-affleck-comments-allegedly-made-jennifer-garners-boyfriend-uncomfortable.html/”>harmonious relationship with Miller</a>. A source spilled to <a href=”https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/how-jennifer-garners-boyfriend-john-miller-influences-ben-affleck/”>Us Weekly</a> that Garner’s romance with her current boyfriend even motivated the <em>Daredevil </em>star to step up in his own role as a father.</p>
<p id=”par-7_27″>“Jen having a boyfriend has been the best thing to happen to Ben and Jen in a long time,” the source said. “Ben’s become a better parent.”</p>
<p id=”par-8_26″>“He ultimately just wants to be the best father he can be and part of that is continuing a loving relationship with Jen,” another insider added.</p>
<p id=”par-9_25″>It was noted that Miller’s kids were also friends with Affleck’s and Garner’s, adding to the trust the three of them shared with each other.</p>

Jennifer Garner’s Typical Lunch Is Inspired by ‘Seinfeld’ </a>
</p>
</div>
<p id=”par-10_32″>Both Garner and Affleck have been very candid in the past about how <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/jennifer-garner-said-1-biggest-worries-divorce-ben-affleck.html/”>they dealt with divorce</a>. In particular, dating was the last thing on Garner’s mind after she became single again.</p>
<p id=”par-11_67″>“I would not have chosen this life for myself or for my kids. I would not choose to be single or be in this position. It’s something that we are working through. I haven’t been on a date and I am not interested in dating,” Garner once said in an interview with <a href=”https://www.news.com.au/entertainment/celebrity-life/jennifer-garner-gets-brutally-honest-i-would-not-have-chosen-this-life-for-me-or-the-kids/news-story/fdd969590f7526a0245c013da81995cd”>news.au</a>. “People want to set me up and I am just like, ‘No thank you!’”</p>
<p id=”par-12_29″>Her attitude changed a bit after meeting Miller, however. Sources alleged that the CEO was instrumental in helping Garner get back on her feet after her second marriage failed.</p>
<p id=”par-13_32″>“He made her feel beautiful, confident and sexy,” an insider said in a separate interview with <a href=”https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/jennifer-garners-ex-john-miller-helped-her-heal-from-ben-affleck-split/”>Us Weekly</a>. “He came into her life at a low point and became someone very significant.”</p>
<p id=”par-14_13″>It was also noted that Miller helped restore Garner’s faith in men overall.</p>
<p id=”par-15_35″>“John and Jen are in similar places in their lives and can relate to raising kids after a divorce,” another source once told the publication. “They’re on the same page and understand where things stand.”</p>
<p id=”par-16_44″>Despite being together for so long, however, <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/jennifer-garner-putting-focus-back-ben-affleck-debacle-planning-wedding-paris-source-says.html/”>Garner and Miller still haven’t married</a>. Speaking with <a href=”https://people.com/movies/jennifer-garner-says-the-last-year-taught-her-how-sturdy-she-is/”>People</a>, Garner touched on why she wasn’t sure about walking down the aisle again after two failed marriages. But it’s worth noting that she didn’t rule out the possibility.</p>
<p id=”par-17_50″><a></a> “I don’t know. I’m so far from it. And I don’t know that marriage would need to be a part… I mean I definitely don’t think that I’ll be single forever,” she says. “But this is not the time. I don’t need to complicate it; I’m good,” she said.</p>
