Jennifer Garner 'trying to woo' BF John Miller back after 'ignoring' him for Ben Affleck: Source
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Jennifer Garner's closeness with her ex-husband, Ben Affleck, has left her boyfriend, John Miller, feeling like he’s playing second fiddle in the actress' life.
Rumors have been swirling for weeks now about the status quo of Garner and Miller’s relationship. Life & Style reported in late August that things were fine between the couple, who started dating in 2018.
But a new article from the same outlet published on Friday, September 6 suggests otherwise. Insiders are now saying that Miller isn’t exactly thrilled with how things are going.
According to them, he feels neglected, with Garner's attention focused almost entirely on Affleck amid his divorce from Jennifer Lopez.
John Miller's apparent frustration over Jennifer Garner's closeness to Ben Affleck
"John Miller doesn’t like sharing Jennifer Garner with Ben Affleck," told a source close to the couple to Life & Style. And who can blame him? Being put in "second place in the dynamic" isn’t exactly the dream scenario for someone dating one of Hollywood’s most beloved stars.
Miller apparently feels a lot like Lopez did when she was reportedly humiliated by Garner and Affleck’s "ridiculous closeness." According to the insider, "John is still incredulous the woman he was close to marrying pushed him aside to focus on repairing her ex's love life! How is he supposed to feel?"
It’s worth noting that Miller has always been supportive of Garner’s co-parenting arrangement with Affleck. After all, they share three children: Violet Anne, 18, Seraphina Rose,15, and Samuel, 12.
Despite calling it quits in 2015 and finalizing their divorce in 2018, Garner and Affleck have remained committed to raising their children together.
The exes recently spent nearly a week together, dropping their daughter Violet off at Yale before flying back to Hollywood.
In fact, some say it was this renewed closeness between Garner and Affleck that allegedly pushed Lopez to file for divorce on August 20, the second anniversary of her and Affleck's Georgia wedding ceremony.
Jennifer Garner's trying to woo back John Miller
The rumor mill has been buzzing with talk of a possible breakup between John Miller and Jennifer Garner, with some sources saying they went on a break due to the Ben Affleck-Jennifer Lopez drama. But so far, no official word has confirmed that the couple has called it quits.
Garner and Miller were even spotted on a dinner date in Malibu, California, on August 24, seemingly enjoying each other’s company.
According to a source, however, Garner may have realized she "overplayed her hand" by making Miller feel like a second priority.
The insider revealed that "she’s trying to woo him back and salvage the relationship" because "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."
Meanwhile, Affleck seems to be moving on just fine. Earlier this week, sources close to the actor told People magazine that he is "doing well" and is "where he wants to be: close to his kids and in a neighborhood that he loves" as he settles into his new home.
