Jennifer Garner ‘proud to show off’ her boyfriend – and you might recognize him

Amid the media frenzy surrounding Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez, Jennifer Garner has chosen a more private path in her romantic life. Reports suggest that the 51-year-old actress has been involved in a low-key relationship with businessman John Miller, opting for a quieter existence away from the celebrity spotlight.

As the spotlight shone on the rekindled romance between Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez, Jennifer Garner’s relationship with John Miller remained largely out of the public eye. While Affleck and Lopez’s reunion captured headlines, complete with a joyful marriage and even a song penned by J.Lo for Affleck, details about Garner’s partner, John Miller, remained scarce.

According to reports, Garner and Miller had been dating for six months before her divorce from Affleck was finalized in 2018.

The former Hollywood power couple split in 2015 and continue to co-parent their three children, Violet, 17, Seraphina, 14, and Samuel, 10.

Who is this mystery man? Born in 1978, Miller is an attorney and businessman, currently serving as the CEO of the fast-food chain CaliBurger and its parent company, CaliGroup. Previously, he held the position of VP of intellectual property at Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals.

Miller was previously married to American violinist Caroline Campbell from 2005 to 2014, with their divorce finalized about a month after Garner became single. He shares a daughter, also named Violet, and a son, Quest, with Campbell.

Preferring to keep their relationship private, the couple, who have been together for five years now, deliberately avoid the Hollywood limelight. “She loves how little he cares for the limelight or the whole Hollywood scenester stuff…Very different from Ben and J.Lo’s relationship in that way,” a source told Us Weekly. “You’ll never see them ham it up for the cameras or fixate about what events to attend together, it’s just not their style.”

The unnamed individual adds, “They’re happier being a regular, under-the-radar couple and don’t need anyone else’s validation to know they’re meant to be together. That’s not to say they’re taking digs at others; it’s just not their style.”

Taking it slow

After a brief split from August 2020 to the spring of 2021, Miller and Garner have been going strong.

“He was ready for marriage, and she just couldn’t commit,” a source said at the time.

Gushing over the couple, friends say the star of Elektra and Miller share a mutually beneficial relationship, where they bring out the best in each other.

A source said, “John is so smitten and caring, but not in an overbearing way…He gives Jen space when she needs it but he’s there for her when the chips are down or she’s in the mood for something spontaneous. They’ve enjoyed some wonderful getaways together…that’s one of their big things.”

Staying low

In July 2022, the public was curious about Garner’s reaction to her ex-husband marrying Lopez. Easing the minds of fans, Garner and Miller were captured together several times by paparazzi, beaming with happiness in each other’s company, seemingly unbothered by the star of Good Will Hunting eloping in Las Vegas.

And, in January 2023, Entertainment Tonight published a story along with images of Affleck, “happily chatting with John.” The media outlet writes, “Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck are proving that exes can get along just fine! Jennifer and her boyfriend John Miller arrived at their house where Ben was seen happily chatting with John. The private couple were then spotted were also spotted in Santa Barbara, shopping in Montecito’s Village.”

Going with ‘the flow’

Slowly becoming more comfortable with sharing their relationship with the public, the gorgeous couple is seen more frequently, expressing their adoration with smooches, hand holding, or out on an early morning jog.

“Jen’s not nearly as shy as she once was with John because they’re a lot more comfortable and secure with each other,” a source said. “She’s proud to show him off.”

In November 2023, another insider spoke with Us Weekly and explained that Garner and Miller are “in a great place.” The source said, “They used to go out of their way to keep a low profile, but they’ve both become very secure with their relationship and how it’s all worked out.”

On her 50th birthday, the couple hit a huge milestone when they brought their children, and families, together for a food drive.

But they’re not yet ready to become a blended family.

According to friends, the subject of marriage between Garner and Miller is open, but there’s no rush. For now, she’s “perfectly happy cherishing and enjoying what they have…without a formal label.”

The person adds that the star of 13 Going on 30 has been setting the pace and Miller is happy to “go with the flow.”

“Jen and John have a really special relationship,” another insider added. “After having so much of her [marriage with Affleck] in the spotlight, she really enjoys being with someone who isn’t a celebrity.”

It’s great to hear that Jennifer Garner has found love again and we really look forward to watching their relationship grow.
