LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Jennifer Garner might have to make a 'major compromise' in her relationship with John Miller, as she might be thinking of letting her ex, Ben Affleck move in for some time, an insider revealed.

Jennifer Garner might have to make a 'major compromise' in relationship with John Miller

The insider said, "John has shown incredible patience and that he’s really endeared him to Jennifer. Privately, he has been known to find it a little bit intimidating that she’s still so close to Ben. But he doesn’t dwell on it, he understands she had a past before him and that there is still a place for Ben in her life."

A source also said, "Ben's got a key to come and go as he pleases, and he’s been spending a ton of time at Garner's place, coming over for dinners and hanging with the kids. It’s great for his state of mind and the kids love having him around, and this is why Jen’s open to the idea of having him move back in."

The source added, "He’s very clear he’s not looking to force Ben out of Jen’s life, but the 24/7 nature of their relationship is just becoming way too much. Whenever they’re together, Ben’s blowing her up with random questions. And now they’re doing this movie together, it’s really got him questioning where he stands."

Jennifer Garner tries to woo back John Miller

A source revealed that Garner may have realized she "overplayed her hand" by making Miller feel like a second priority amid her closeness with Affleck.

The insider said that "she’s trying to woo him back and salvage the relationship. John is at the end of his rope with what he considers Jen's 'unfathomable' support for her ex-hubby while ignoring him in the process."



 

Notably, Miller has always been supportive of Garner’s co-parenting arrangement with Affleck as they share three children: Violet Anne, 18, Seraphina Rose,15, and Samuel, 12.

Garner and Affleck have been committed to raising their children together despite calling it quits in 2015 and confirming their divorce in 2018, per Life & Style.
