Where Jennifer Garner's Boyfriend Stands In Her Close Relationship With Ex Ben Affleck

Jennifer Garner's boyfriend, John Miller, is reportedly not losing sleep over her closeness with Ben Affleck.

The businessman is reportedly unperturbed over the circulating rumors of a likely reunion between the former couple, as he wholeheartedly trusts his girlfriend.

Jennifer Garner and John Miller's on-and-off relationship began in 2018, shortly after her separation from Ben Affleck. 

The man of the moment is reportedly unfazed about speculations that the estranged couple is working on spinning the block. A source close to Miller noted:

"Ben and Jen] hug a lot and show physical affection. And while there's a lot of people hoping they'll get back together, it's not going to happen."

The source continued that Garner is happy that her ex-husband "finally found inner peace, but she's in love with John." Miller often faces a barrage of questions from his friends regarding Garner and Affleck's relationship, with some suggesting he might have reason to be concerned. 

While most men would likely feel uneasy about their girlfriend sharing an intimate moment with an ex, the mogul understands the reality of the situation and remains as cool as a cucumber.

"He knows Jen is loyal to him and can also be there for the father of her children. That's just who Jen is. It's not for everyone, but John is very confident in what he has with Jen. He's not concerned," the source stated to In Touch.

After navigating some challenges, Affleck and Garner have found happiness in their relationship, especially following his split from Jennifer Lopez. 

Sources revealed that Affleck and Garner, who were married for over a decade, have managed to foster a positive dynamic largely centered around their children. They are committed to family, having gone through various ups and downs while keeping their kids as a priority.

Affleck has expressed gratitude toward Garner for her unwavering support and for speaking about him positively in front of their children. 

"He credits her for being supportive, which she didn't have to do, and never dogging him out to their children. Yes, she's had to be brutally honest at times about their father, but it was always done in an empathetic and loving way," the insider shared.

Their three kids also have a rock-solid bond with their dad, which Affleck attributes to Garner's empathetic parenting approach. Since finalizing his divorce from Lopez in August 2024, Affleck and Garner have come together as a family, notably spending Thanksgiving and Christmas with their children. 

Garner, who values family traditions, aims to provide a similar holiday experience for her kids. "It's all for the kids. Jen grew up surrounded by her family for the holidays, and she wants the same for her kids," the source concluded.

So many things reportedly became clear to the actor about his bond with Garner right after he married Lopez.

In a previous report by The Blast, a source close to Affleck revealed that following this reunion with the "Get Loud" singer, he gained clarity about his emotions, recognizing that Lopez was not "the one who got away" but rather that Garner was the true love of his life. 

This realization seems to have been reinforced by Garner's support during Affleck's challenging split from Lopez, a time that was emotionally taxing for him.

The insider emphasized the strong friendship between Affleck and Garner, highlighting their commitment to co-parenting their children and suggesting that she will always be there for him.

As soon as Affleck and Lopez signed the dotted lines, Garner's boyfriend reportedly hoped she would reconsider her closeness with her ex-husband, Affleck, and pull back. The Cali Group CEO respects Affleck and acknowledges their shared responsibility as co-parents to their children.

However, he struggles with sharing his girlfriend and time with Affleck in the picture. According to a source, Miller is attempting to manage his feelings about Garner and Affleck's relationship by mainly remaining silent, which he finds challenging.

The attorney has no problem with the actor being involved as a father but desires to assert his role as the primary partner in their relationship. Notably, he only discusses Affleck when prompted by Garner or their children, refraining from bringing him up alone.

Aside from having a boyfriend, Garner has also not forgotten Affleck's episode with their nanny while they were married, and it is a major stumbling block on their path to rekindling anything.

The Blast shared that the insider disclosed that the TV star harbors a deep fear of rekindling her relationship with Affleck. This apprehension stems from unresolved trust issues linked to their past marriage, mainly related to allegations that he had an affair with their children's nanny, Christine Ouzounian.

The insider revealed that she has strong feelings for her ex-husband but is also concerned about being hurt again. She reportedly fears the pain of enduring another broken heart and is hesitant to allow herself to embrace the relationship once more fully.

"It is just too much drama, plus she does not want their kids to see round two of their mom in a bad place with their dad. So much could go wrong if they reunite," the insider spilled.

Will Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck prove the speculators right any time soon?
