Jennifer Garner gets cosy with BF John Miller amid rumors of strained relationship over Ben Affleck drama

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Jennifer Garner and her on-and-off boyfriend, John Miller, were recently seen taking a stroll to her impressive $7.8 million home, sparking renewed interest in their long-running romance since 2018. 

The couple was spotted in the Brentwood Park neighborhood of Los Angeles on Friday, October 4, amid the backdrop of Garner’s ex-husband Ben Affleck’s ongoing divorce battle with Jennifer Lopez. The 'Elektra' actress looked cheerful as she held her beau close while crossing the street after sunset.

Notably, the couple's appearance comes amid rumors that Ben Affleck is straining Garner's relationship with Miller, along with reports of his frustration over Jennifer Garner's closeness to her ex-husband.

Jennifer Garner spotted with boyfriend John Miller in LA

Jennifer Garner sweetly held hands with the 46-year-old businessman, John Miller as she encouraged him to reach his full potential in his role as chairman of Cali Group and CEO of PopID. 

Garner, 52, nearly matched her boyfriend Miller, 46, as she sported a pink crewneck sweater, while he chose a red hoodie. The mother of three completed her look with a patterned skirt and sneakers, accessorizing with black glasses and minimal makeup, her hair pulled back in a bun. Miller kept it casual in jeans and brown shoes.

In August, the couple was all smiles during a date night in Malibu, California. Their dinner date came after reports suggested that Ben Affleck’s divorce from Jennifer Lopez had been "tough" on Miller, given Garner’s ongoing relationship with her ex-husband.

A source shared with In Touch Weekly last Thursday, "John has a good heart and a strong, sharp mind. But everybody in Jen's circle knows that he has a very cushy life and, as much as he loves Jen, you get this huge sense that he could be doing a lot more than just riding her coattails, especially given his past as a super-sharp businessman."

Notably, both John and Jennifer have daughters named Violet, and Miller will celebrate his daughter’s sweet 16 birthday on October 26, as per DailyMail. He also has an 18-year-old son, Quest, from his eight-year marriage to violinist Caroline Campbell, which ended in divorce in 2018 after a four-year legal separation.

Meanwhile, Garner shares two children with her ex-husband Ben Affleck: 15-year-old Fin and 12-year-old Samuel. Her first marriage to Felicity castmate Scott Foley ended in divorce in 2004 after two years.

Garner is set to executive produce and reprise her role as Hannah Hall in the second season of 'The Last Thing He Told Me', Apple TV+'s most-watched limited series, which attracted 4.5 million viewers in its first 31 days, despite mixed reviews. 

In addition to her work on 'The Last Thing He Told Me,' Jennifer will also produce and star in Netflix's holiday comedy 'Mrs Claus', and she will appear in Max Winkler's true-crime film 'Fruitcake' alongside Paul Walter Hauser. Garner remains active with her children’s food company, Once Upon a Farm, and her role as a trustee for the non-profit organization Save the Children.
