When Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck divorced in 2018, fans weren’t too surprised to hear he was back in a relationship with “Jenny from the Block.”
While the public closely followed the re-coupling of Affleck and Jennifer Lopez, including a happy marriage and J.Lo’s new single “Can’t Get Enough,” which was written for Affleck, little is known about Garner’s new beau, John Miller.
According to reports, Garner and Miller had been dating six months before her 2018 divorce to Affleck was finalized.
The former Hollywood power couple split in 2015 and since, they continue to co-parent their three children, Violet, 17, Seraphina, 14 and Samuel, 10.
Who is this mystery man?
Miller was born in 1978 and is both a lawyer and a businessman. He is the CEO of CaliBurger, a popular fast food chain, and its parent company, CaliGroup. Before this, he held the position of Vice President of intellectual property at Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals.
He was married to American violinist Caroline Campbell from 2005 until their divorce in 2014, which happened just a month after Jennifer Garner became single. Miller and Campbell have two kids together: a daughter named Violet and a son named Quest.
Miller and Garner have been dating for five years, but they prefer to keep their relationship private. They try to avoid the media attention that often comes with being in the public eye, especially for someone like Garner.
A source told Us Weekly, “She appreciates how he doesn’t care about fame or the Hollywood scene. It’s really different from Ben and J.Lo’s relationship. You won’t see them posing for pictures or worrying about which events to go to together; that’s just not how they roll.”
The unnamed person adds, “They’re happier being a regular, under-the-radar couple and don’t need anyone else’s validation to know they’re meant to be together. That’s not to say they’re taking digs against others, it’s just not them.”
Going slow
After a short break from August 2020 to spring 2021, Miller and Garner are doing really well together.
“At that time, he wanted to get married, but she wasn’t ready to settle down,” a source shared.
Friends are really excited about the couple, saying that the star of Elektra and Miller help each other shine.
One source mentioned, “John is totally in love and really caring, but he doesn’t smother her. He knows when to give Jen some space, but he’s always there for her when she needs support or wants to do something fun. They’ve had some amazing trips together, and that’s a big part of their relationship.”
Staying low
In July 2022, people were really interested in how Garner felt about her ex-husband marrying Lopez.
To calm fans’ worries, Garner and Miller were seen together multiple times by photographers, looking really happy and enjoying each other’s company, not seeming to care about the fact that the star of Good Will Hunting had eloped in Las Vegas.
Then, in January 2023, Entertainment Tonight shared a story with pictures of Affleck, who was “happily chatting with John.”
The news outlet mentioned, “Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck are showing that exes can get along well! Jennifer and her boyfriend John Miller went to their house where Ben was seen happily talking with John. The couple was also spotted in Santa Barbara, shopping in Montecito’s Village.”
Going with ‘the flow’
The beautiful couple is starting to feel more at ease with showing their relationship to the world. They are often spotted together, sharing sweet moments like kisses, holding hands, or going for morning runs.
A source mentioned, “Jen is much less shy around John now because they feel really comfortable and secure with each other. She loves to show him off.”
In November 2023, another insider told Us Weekly that Garner and Miller are “in a great place.” The source added, “They used to try hard to stay out of the spotlight, but now they both feel really confident about their relationship and how everything has turned out.”
On her 50th birthday, the couple celebrated a big moment by bringing their kids and families together for a food drive.
But they’re not yet ready to become a blended family.
Friends say that Garner and Miller are talking about marriage, but they’re not in a hurry. Right now, she’s really happy just enjoying their relationship without needing a title.
One person mentioned that the star of 13 Going on 30 is taking things at her own speed, and Miller is cool with just going along with it.
Another insider shared, “Jen and John have a really unique bond. After all the attention from her marriage to Affleck, she loves being with someone who isn’t famous.”
It’s great to hear that Jennifer Garner has found love again and we really look forward to watching their relationship grow.
