<p id=”par-1_66″><a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/jennifer-garner/?swcfpc=1″>Jennifer Garner</a> doesn’t talk about her personal life to the press. Sources alleged that she helped her ex-husband, <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/ben-affleck/?swcfpc=1″>Ben Affleck</a>, through the thick of his divorce from <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/jennifer-lopez/?swcfpc=1″>Jennifer Lopez</a> in 2024. While she maintains a friendship with Affleck, she has her own romance to uphold. She and <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/john-miller-allegedly-wants-give-jennifer-garner-dream-ben-affleck-never.html/”>her boyfriend, John Miller</a>, were spotted embracing after sources claimed Miller isn’t “thrilled” about Garner’s ongoing closeness with Affleck.</p>

<p id=”par-2_58″>Jennifer Garner is notoriously private when it comes to her romances. <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/jennifer-garners-boyfriend-john-miller-opposite-ben-affleck-relaxed-guy-source-says.html/”>She and John Miller</a> have been on and off since 2018. Several sources claimed they were ramping up their relationship in 2024. According to <a href=”https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-14353069/jennifer-garner-boyfriend-john-miller-pda-la-rare-appearance.html” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>DailyMail.com</a>, Garner and Miller were spotted embracing in February 2025. Garner was seen wrapping her arms around Miller before they parted ways. </p>
<p id=”par-3_28″>It’s unclear what Garner and Miller had planned, but they dressed casually for their outing. Garner wore a hoodie with leggings, and Miller wore a flannel with jeans.</p>
<p id=”par-4_80″>It’s good to see the couple appearing happy in public in 2025. In January 2025, a source told <a href=”https://pagesix.com/2025/01/31/celebrity-news/jennifer-garners-boyfriend-john-miller-isnt-thrilled-about-her-growing-bond-with-ex-ben-affleck/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Page Six</a> that <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/john-miller-allegedly-questioning-romance-jennifer-garner-will-likely-star-new-ben-affleck-film.html/”>Miller “isn’t thrilled”</a> about how much time Garner and Affleck spend together. Affleck started to spend more time with his ex-wife when his marriage to Jennifer Lopez went south in 2024. He also reportedly spent Thanksgiving and Christmas with his ex and their three children. Then, when the Los Angeles wildfires threatened his home, he went to Garner’s. </p>
<p id=”par-5_48″>Miller “knows Ben and Jen have been leaning on each other more than ever lately and have a really close relationship,” the source continued. “Their growing bond is getting to be a bit much when Ben spends all the holidays with them, like Christmas and Thanksgiving. John feels like a third wheel.”</p>
<p id=”par-6_21″>While Miller allegedly doesn’t feel “threatened” by Affleck, the exes’ “strong connection and friendship” makes it “hard not to feel jealous.”</p>

<p id=”par-8_43″>“Jen is still dating John, and Ben is very supportive of that,” the source alleged. “Ben’s single and just taking life one day at a time. They’re far from perfect, but Jen and Ben are a great example of how co-parenting should work.”</p>
<p id=”par-9_30″>Affleck allegedly didn’t always love having Miller around. Another insider told <a href=”https://www.intouchweekly.com/posts/ben-affleck-wants-jennifer-garner-to-be-happy-with-john-miller/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>In Touch Weekly</a> in March 2020 that Affleck had a “very hard” time with his ex-wife moving forward. </p>
<p id=”par-10_48″>“It was very hard for Ben at first, even though he’s the one that pretty much walked away from the marriage. It was a reality check that he wasn’t prepared for,” the source alleged. However, Garner moving forward with her life “pushed Ben to move on with his.”</p>

<p id=”par-11_59″>Jennifer Garner and John Miller might be on their way to tying the knot. Sources alleged in 2024 that Garner started considering wedding dresses and locations for a potential wedding. However, even if Garner and Miller get married, she won’t leave Ben Affleck in the dust. Another source told <a href=”https://www.lifeandstylemag.com/posts/jennifer-garners-bf-john-miller-is-a-3rd-wheel-with-ben-affleck/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Life & Style</a> that Garner still obviously “adores” Affleck. </p>
<p id=”par-12_47″>“Even when the guy’s not around he’s calling and texting, it could be about the kids or an emergency, so Jen always answers,” the source claimed. “It’s obvious she adores him, and it’s always been understood; any man that dates her has to be OK with Ben.”</p>
<p id=”par-13_24″>The source alleged that <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/jennifer-garners-boyfriend-doubts-ben-affleck-can-maintain-healthy-boundaries-holidays-source-says.html/”>Miller “won’t be able to take this situation</a> much longer” unless Garner makes significant changes in who she prioritizes. </p>
