<p id=”par-1_95″>It has been a decade since Ben Affleck and <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/jennifer-garner/?swcfpc=1″>Jennifer Garner</a> finalized their divorce. Despite the split, the former flames remain close. Garner appeared to be a massive support during Affleck’s split from his second wife, Jennifer Lopez. While their close friendship has endeared Garner to fans, rumors have swirled that her current love interest, <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/jennifer-garners-boyfriend-john-miller-opposite-ben-affleck-relaxed-guy-source-says.html/”>John Miller</a>, isn’t exactly thrilled with the situation. Some sources claim the longtime couple was taking some space amid the drama. If it is true, it wouldn’t be the first time. Jennifer Garner and John Miller have broken up before.</p>

<p id=”par-2_93″>Jennifer Garner was quick to swoop in and support Ben Affleck after news of his crumbling marriage to Jennifer Lopez surfaced last year. She has been one of his most significant supporters since then, and she still spends a fair bit of time with him. While their friendship may seem lovely from the outside looking in, it’s said to have created complications. According to several sources, Garner’s longtime beau, John Miller, <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/jennifer-garners-boyfriend-doubts-ben-affleck-can-maintain-healthy-boundaries-holidays-source-says.html/”>isn’t nearly as thrilled with the friendship</a> as his romantic partner. In fact, some rumors suggest a split is in the works.</p>

<p id=”par-3_61″>Miller and Garner were first spotted together in 2018 and have worked tirelessly to maintain a private life. Still, the couple is spotted together regularly, and Miller is directly involved in <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/jennifer-garner-not-want-hear-jennifer-lopez-kids-source-says.html/”>Garner’s family life</a>. He, however, has not appeared on the scene to help Affleck mend his broken heart. If the rumors are true, he may be running out of patience.</p>
