Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner
Jennifer Garner and her businessman boyfriend, John Miller, were spotted enjoying a cozy dinner in Malibu, California, on Saturday. The couple, who have been together since 2018, appeared relaxed and content as they dined together. However, their outing comes amid growing speculation that Miller is uncomfortable with Garner's continued involvement with her ex-husband, Ben Affleck, especially during his marital issues.
Sources close to the couple reveal that Miller is increasingly uneasy with Garner’s frequent interactions with Affleck, particularly during his divorce from Jennifer Lopez, which has been challenging for Miller. Garner and Miller, dressed casually, were seen enjoying a night out in the city. The actress, effortlessly stylish in a grey sweater and her signature flowing brunette hair, walked arm-in-arm with Miller, who sported a classic flannel shirt and white T-shirt, as shown in photos published by Page Six. The couple appeared happy, smiling and relaxed, seemingly brushing off any tension and breakup rumors as they headed to their car.
This sighting comes after sources told Life & Style that the pair had taken a “break from their relationship” following Garner and Affleck's time abroad with their children before their eldest, Violet, started college. “John doesn’t like sharing Jen, and there’s a divide when it comes to her and Ben,” an insider told the Daily Mail earlier. This isn’t the first time Miller has been caught up in the drama; previously, an insider claimed that Miller feels uneasy about Garner’s involvement in her ex’s divorce. “He wishes it wasn’t like that because he understands they are a family, but it gets to him like it would anyone," the source added.
