Jennifer Garner and John Miller’s relationship is reportedly facing strain amid Garner’s ongoing closeness with her ex-husband, Ben Affleck. Sources indicate that Miller, who has been dating Garner on and off since 2018, is feeling increasingly uncomfortable with the frequent interactions between Garner and Affleck. While Garner and Affleck have emphasized their commitment to co-parenting, the visible affection has reportedly caused tension. Now, Affleck allegedly wants Garner to co-star with him in a film — and Miller’s not happy.

John Miller has allegedly ‘had it’ with Ben Affleck ‘meddling’ in his romance with Jennifer Garner

Jennifer Garner has found steady comfort in her quiet romance with businessman John Miller. The Alias actor began dating the CaliGroup CEO in 2018, not long after finalizing her divorce from Ben Affleck. Their relationship has been largely low-key, built on a foundation of mutual respect and a shared preference for privacy. Despite a brief breakup in 2020, Garner and Miller rekindled their relationship and have grown even closer since.

Unfortunately, Garner’s closeness with Affleck has caused the public to speculate on their relationship. Garner and Affleck make excellent co-parents to their three kids and still enjoy each other’s company. Garner notably helped Affleck through his recent divorce from Jennifer Lopez. While several sources have said they’re nothing more than friends, other sources claim Affleck would love a second chance.

Now, another source tells RadarOnline that Miller has “had it” with Affleck “meddling” in his romance. Affleck allegedly wants to work on the big screen with Garner again. This might mean starring in a film under his studio company, Artists Equity, which he shares with Matt Damon.

“That friendship is going to make it very easy for Garner to work with Matt and Affleck’s studio, and even get some of her own projects done,” the source continued. “She has a special voice as a filmmaker, with a gift for romantic comedies and feel-good stuff, as opposed to the dramas and thrillers Ben and Matt usually make. … For Jen, working with Ben’s studio would be a no-brainer. Even if Ben blurs the boundaries between them, she knows where to draw the line. But that’s likely not enough to keep John happy.”

Jennifer Garner allegedly feels ‘pressure’ to choose between her ex-husband and her current boyfriend

Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck will forever have an unshakeable bond. They tied the knot in 2005 and separated a decade later, finalizing their divorce in 2018. Their divorce never turned ugly, as they maintained mutual respect. However, her closeness with Affleck might be straining her romance with John Miller.

“Jen’s feeling the pressure to choose between John and Ben,” a source told Life & Style in March 2025. “John likes Ben. He just doesn’t feel Jen should spend as much time with Ben, especially now that his life’s back on track.”

The source alleged that Miller won’t head to Garner’s home if he knows Affleck’s there. “It’s the only thing they argue about,” the insider said.

New photos might prove that John Miller and his famous girlfriend are just fine

Insiders allege that Ben Affleck is complicating John Miller and Jennifer Garner’s relationship. However, photos from April 2025 show Miller and Garner happier than ever. The snapshots, shared by TMZ, show Garner in a trucker hat and overalls taking a walk with Miller, who wore a flannel and jeans. The couple is seen laughing, smiling, kissing, and waving to the cameras. According to TMZ’s sources, the couple spent the day with Garner’s kids and her church friends.

The photos serve as visual evidence that Miller and Garner might be just fine despite the media claiming the contrary.
