Jennifer Garner’s boyfriend, John Miller, struggles with her tight bond with ex-husband Ben Affleck, a Daily Mail source claims. Miller, dating Garner since 2018, wants her “for himself” but stays quiet about Affleck unless she or their kids bring him up. The tension flares as Garner and Affleck lean on each other post his Lopez split and LA wildfires.
Miller’s Uneasy Silence
The insider says Miller, 47, respects Affleck, 52, as the dad of Garner’s three kids—Violet, 19, Seraphina, 16, and Samuel, 12—but craves less of him around. He avoids Affleck talk unless prompted, wanting to be Garner’s main man. Their on-off romance since 2018 hits a snag with this dynamic, they note.
Garner, 52, and Affleck grew close again after his April 2024 breakup with Jennifer Lopez and amid local crises. Miller’s unease grows, though he gets their co-parenting tie. For now, he wrestles with jealousy in silence, the source adds.
Conflicting Claims Emerge
A Us Weekly insider pushes back, saying all’s well between Garner and Miller—no issues bubble up from their circle. Affleck, meanwhile, casually dates again post-divorce, another source hints. The exes, who met on “Pearl Harbor” in 2000, wed in 2005 and split in 2018, keep a united front for their kids.
Their love story kicked off on “Daredevil,” blooming in 2004 after earlier splits. They hit the World Series as a couple that year and tied the knot in Turks and Caicos by 2005. For fans, Miller’s reported strain contrasts with their solid past.
