Actress Jennifer Garner’s growing closeness with her ex-husband, Ben Affleck, has sparked fresh speculation about the state of her romance with longtime partner John Miller.
On March 5, 2025, an insider close to Garner and Miller exclusively opened up to In Touch Weekly magazine, addressing the swirling rumors of tension between the pair and setting the record straight.
Shutting down whispers of a possible reconciliation with the Gone Girl actor, the source made it clear that while Jennifer and Ben share a strong bond, it’s purely platonic. They shared,
“Yes, [Ben and Jen] hug a lot and show physical affection. And while there’s a lot of people hoping they’ll get back together, it’s not going to happen. Jen is happy that Ben has finally found inner peace, but she’s in love with John”.
Further addressing how Miller handles his girlfriend’s ongoing friendship with her ex, the source revealed that jealousy has never been an issue. Instead, it’s John’s unwavering trust and confidence in their relationship that keep things strong. As the insider put it,
“Of course John gets a ton of questions from his friends about Jen and Ben’s relationship, some even think he should be worried. Most men wouldn’t be thrilled to see their girlfriend in an intimate embrace with her ex, but John knows the truth”.
Jennifer Garner And John Miller Are Stronger Than Ever
Wrapping up the interview, the insider gave insight into where Jennifer and John’s relationship stands today.
According to the source, the CaliGroup CEO has no doubts about his relationship with the 13 Going On 30 star and fully embraces her close co-parenting bond with Affleck, with whom she shares three children. They said,
“He knows Jen is loyal to him and can also be there for the father of her children. That’s just who Jen is. It’s not for everyone, but John is very confident in what he has with Jen. He’s not concerned”.
Speculation about trouble in Jennifer and John’s relationship began swirling after her ex-husband, Ben Affleck, finalized his divorce from Jennifer Lopez in early January 2025.
However, by February 2025, the actress and her beau shut down those rumors when they were spotted enjoying some rare quality time together in Los Angeles.
Their outing was exclusively captured in a brief paparazzi video, which showed Jennifer sharing a tight hug with John, her arms firmly wrapped around his neck. Miller, in turn, placed his hands on her waist, soaking in the moment.
Jennifer Garner and John Miller first started dating in 2018. The couple were together for nearly three years before briefly splitting in 2021, only to rekindle their romance later that year in August. Since then, they have been in a thriving relationship.
With trust at the core and no jealousy in sight, the duo continue to prove their love is built to last.
