Let's talk about Jennifer Garner, the beloved actress who's been making headlines for her personal life as much as her on-screen work. Since 2018, Jennifer has had an on-again, off-again relationship with businessman John Miller. But here's the thing: Jennifer is often seen hanging out with her ex-husband, Ben Affleck. So naturally, people are starting to wonder—what's the deal with Jennifer and John? Are they still together? Let me tell you, it's a story full of twists and turns.
The Ups and Downs of Jennifer Garner and John Miller’s Relationship
Back in 2018, Jennifer and John started dating after meeting in what seemed like a serendipitous moment. For almost two years, they were a couple that seemed to have it all figured out. But then, life got in the way. In 2020, just as Los Angeles went into lockdown during the pandemic, Jennifer and John decided to go their separate ways. But their story didn't end there. In 2021, they rekindled their romance, proving that sometimes love can take unexpected detours. In February 2024, a source revealed to In Touch that Jennifer was “relieved” John was different from Ben. “In Jen’s eyes, John’s a keeper,” the source added.
But as is often the case in relationships, things can get complicated. By August 2024, the couple seemed to be cooling off again. According to Life & Style, Jennifer and John were “on a break” while she supported Ben through his divorce from Jennifer Lopez. Let’s break this down: Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce from Ben after two years of marriage, citing their separation as April 26, 2024. This was a lot for Jennifer Garner to handle, and it took a toll on her relationship with John. “Jen’s had so much going on with Ben, it just took a toll, and she and John ended up going their separate ways. It wasn’t her choice,” a source explained.

And here’s where it gets interesting: “Ben’s been turning to Jen [Garner] for advice and support, and that’s been a big source of annoyance for John. He doesn’t enjoy competing with her ex-husband for her attention.” But just when it seemed like their story had come to an end, Jennifer and John proved everyone wrong. They were spotted enjoying a summer date night in Los Angeles later that month, confirming that their romance was still alive and well.
Where Do Things Stand in 2025?
Fast forward to March 2025, and the good news is that Jennifer and John are still together. Fans were unsure about their relationship status after Jennifer sparked rumors of a reconciliation with Ben Affleck when they were seen getting cozy during their son's 13th birthday celebration. But here's the thing: John wasn’t worried. Sources exclusively told In Touch that John was “confident” in his relationship with Jennifer. He didn’t feel threatened by her bond with Ben.
“Yes, [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. Jen is happy that Ben has finally found inner peace, but she’s in love with John,” the insider explained. “Of course, John gets a ton of questions from his friends about Jen and Ben’s relationship, some even think he should be worried. Most men wouldn’t be thrilled to see their girlfriend in an intimate embrace with her ex, but John knows the truth.”
When Did Jennifer Garner and John Miller First Cross Paths?
Jennifer and John met shortly before Jennifer’s divorce from Ben was finalized in November 2018. Jennifer had always been someone who believed in doing things the right way, so she waited until her divorce was official before diving back into the dating scene. “Jen has been wanting to move on and now when the divorce is finalized, she finally can,” a source told People on October 10, 2018. “She has had no choice but to be patient since Ben needed to finish his rehab treatment. But she was ready to sign the papers.”
They kept things low-key at first, and Jennifer took her time before introducing John to her children, Violet, Fin, and Samuel. “They are casually dating but it’s not serious,” a source told the outlet at the time. “He hasn’t met her kids.”
Keeping Their Love Story Private
Despite being a famous actress, Jennifer has always done her best to keep her relationship with John out of the spotlight. “They’re not into the power couple trend,” a source exclusively told In Touch in February 2024. “They’re homebodies but like to go out occasionally, and they both like movies, books, and cooking.”

To maintain their privacy, Jennifer and John avoided appearing on red carpets together. Instead, they opted for meeting up inside venues or arriving separately for outings like dinner. “They have a good time together, and they keep the relationship guarded,” explained the insider. “Jen is a magnet for publicity, but she does everything in her power to protect John’s privacy.”
And it seems like their strategy was working—until their latest break. But even then, sources were optimistic about their future. “They are perfect for each other,” a source told Life & Style on May 8, 2024. “John really is her other half. She’s told friends, ‘I’ve never known love like this!’”
