Jennifer Garner’s Love Life Update Amid Ben Affleck Reconciliation Rumors

Despite ongoing speculation about her close bond with ex-husband Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner is not rekindling a romance with him, according to sources close to the actress.

The 52-year-old star, who shares three children, Violet, 19, Fin, 16, and Samuel, 12, with Ben Affleck, remains content in her current relationship with businessman John Miller.

Even as Ben Affleck navigates his divorce from Jennifer Lopez, insiders insist that Jennifer Garner’s dynamic with him is purely supportive and amicable.

While Garner and Affleck have been spotted spending more time together, sources reveal that her bond with Miller remains strong.

"Everything is fine with John and Jen," an insider told Us Weekly on Wednesday, shutting down rumors that Miller might be feeling uneasy about his girlfriend’s ongoing support for Affleck. "Those close to them haven’t heard of any issues."

Reports indicate that Garner has been a pillar of support for Affleck as he copes with his split from Lopez.

A separate source previously shared in August 2024 that Affleck had "confided in Jen in a lot of ways," especially during the rocky months leading up to his separation.

"She was hopeful that things would work out between [Ben and J.Lo], but of course, she just wants them to be happy," the source added. "So she supports whatever path they’ve decided to take."

Last week, the "13 Going On 30" actress and her boyfriend were spotted sharing a heartfelt embrace during a rare public outing. The affectionate moment, captured in the middle of the street, showed the couple parting ways with a warm hug.

For the casual outing, Garner opted for a black hoodie and green leggings with white racing stripes, while Miller, the chairman of CaliGroup, kept it laid-back in a light blue flannel shirt and jeans.

Their sighting came just a day after reports suggested that Miller may have been uncomfortable with the close friendship between Garner and Affleck.

As Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner continue to spend more time together, especially over the holidays, rumors circulated that their growing bond reportedly creates tension in Garner’s relationship with longtime boyfriend John Miller.

According to a source who spoke with Page Six, Miller has started to feel like a "third wheel" as Affleck and Garner grow increasingly close. While the businessman has always understood their co-parenting dynamic, recent developments have left him questioning whether their relationship has gone beyond just raising their three children.

“John knows Ben and Jen have been leaning on each other more than ever lately and have a really close relationship,” the insider revealed. What was once a strictly co-parenting arrangement has now evolved, with Affleck and Garner texting, calling, and communicating more than they have in years.

“It used to be solely about the kids, but John feels like it could be more than just about their co-parenting relationship,” the source explained. “He doesn’t feel threatened in terms of Jen ever getting back with Ben, but at the same time, it’s hard not to feel jealous when it’s clear they have a strong connection and friendship.”

Tensions reportedly grew over the holiday season when the "Pearl Harbor" actor spent both Thanksgiving and Christmas with Garner and their children. “Their growing bond is getting to be a bit much when Ben spends all the holidays with them, like Christmas and Thanksgiving,” the insider added.

Miller, who has been dating Garner for several years, is said to feel like he’s on the outside looking in as Affleck’s presence in her life increases, though the new reports claim otherwise.

Garner and Affleck were married for 10 years before separating in 2015, and while they have maintained a close co-parenting relationship, the recent shift in their dynamic had led to speculation about how it might impact Garner’s relationship with Miller in the long run.

But, as speculation swirls about Affleck’s personal life, it seems clear that Garner remains focused on maintaining a peaceful co-parenting dynamic with her ex while fully committed to her relationship with Miller.
