Jennifer Garner Put John Miller ‘In Second Place’ as Ben Affleck Keeps Calling, Source Says

Jennifer Garner and her boyfriend, John Miller , have been together since she and Ben Affleck finalized their divorce in 2018. While the couple has reportedly had their ups and downs through the years, they were allegedly headed toward marriage. Unfortunately, Affleck’s divorce from Jennifer Lopez affects Garner, as Affleck confides in his ex-wife about his future ex-wife. Now, Garner is reportedly trying to “salvage” her romance with Miller as their relationship grows tense.

Jennifer Garner gives an ‘unfathomable’ level of support to Ben Affleck, and John Miller disapproves, a source says

Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck remained friends after their divorce. The couple married in 2005 and separated 10 years later before finalizing their divorce in 2018. Now, they live nearby, so they can easily see their three kids. Affleck appears to trust Garner with information regarding his personal life, as he visited her home in 2024 amid reports that he and Jennifer Lopez were having issues.

Several insiders have commented on what Garner’s boyfriend, John Miller, thinks. While some sources claim the couple is rock solid , others believe they’re on shaky ground. A source told Life & Style in September 2024 that Miller is “at the end of his rope” with Garner helping Affleck.

“John is at the end of his rope with what he considers Jen’s ‘unfathomable’ support for her ex-hubby while ignoring him in the process,” the source alleged.

The insider added that Lopez felt “humiliated” by how close Affleck and Garner remained after their divorce. “Don’t think John didn’t feel the same way!” the source continued. “John is still incredulous the woman he was close to marrying pushed him aside to focus on repairing her ex’s love life! How is he supposed to feel?”

The insider noted that Affleck continued to call Garner for support after Lopez filed for divorce. “Garner realizes she may have overplayed her hand by putting John in second place in this dynamic,” they continued. “Now she’s trying to woo him back and salvage the relationship.”
