Is Jennifer Garner dating anyone? What Is Going on With Them?

After her highly publicized divorce from ex-husband Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner has kept her relationship with CEO John Miller quite private.

The 52-year-old 13 Going On 30 actress was first linked to Miller in 2018, after her divorce from Affleck was finalized.

Despite Affleck’s separation from Jennifer Lopez earlier in the year, Garner, a mother of three, is not interested in getting back together with her ex-husband and is happy with her current relationship.

The couple briefly split in 2020, but they got back together and have been together ever since. They seem to enjoy keeping their relationship out of the public eye.

Although rumors have circulated that Miller feels jealous of Garner’s close relationship with her ex, the couple was recently seen sharing a sweet goodbye after spending time together.

Garner has maintained an amicable co-parenting relationship with Affleck, with whom she shares children Violet, 19, Fin, 16, and Samuel, 12.

The actress is also involved with Miller’s two children from his previous marriage.

Who is John Miller?

John Miller, 47, is the chairman of CaliGroup, and he also serves as CEO of CaliGroup’s portfolio company, PopID.

CaliGroup is an investment company that focuses on computer vision, AI, and robotics for the restaurant and retail industries, according to the company’s LinkedIn.

Miller has a strong interest in nanotechnology, having co-authored a book in 2004.

The book, titled The Handbook of Nanotechnology Business, Policy and Intellectual Property Law, provides a detailed analysis of the business challenges and legal issues related to nanotechnology, according to the synopsis.

Miller was previously married to musician Caroline Campbell from 2005 to 2011, and they have two children together.

Campbell is a professional violinist who has performed with Stevie Wonder, Norah Jones, and recorded film scores for movies like The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Spider-Man.

What Is Going On?

Jennifer Garner’s boyfriend, John Miller, is reportedly hoping she will take a “step back” from her ex-husband, Ben Affleck, now that his divorce from Jennifer Lopez is complete.

Garner played the role of a mediator to help Affleck during that time, and Miller was apparently not in favor of this situation.

Garner’s friends have expressed concern for her well-being and have advised her to take it easy, as they believe she has been feeling burned out.

Why John Miller Wants Jennifer Garner To Take a ‘Step Back’ From Ben Affleck

Garner’s boyfriend, John Miller, hopes she will reconsider her closeness with her ex-husband, Affleck, now that his divorce from Lopez is complete.

Sources say Miller is uncomfortable with her relationship with Affleck and avoids talking about him whenever possible.

The Cali Group CEO is believed to respect Affleck and understands that they have children together but doesn’t like to share his girlfriend.

“John is trying to deal with Ben and Jen’s relationship by mostly staying quiet, but it’s very hard to do that,” a source told the Daily Mail. “He knows that Ben has to be around as a father and he is more than OK with that, but he wants to be the man in the relationship.”

“John only talks about Ben when Jen talks about Ben or when their kids talk about him. He doesn’t bring him up unprompted,” the source said.

John Miller Struggles With Jennifer Garner And Ben Affleck’s Close Relationship

Miller wants the “Elektra” actress to take a step back from the “Argo” actor because he struggles with their relationship dynamics.

“John respects Ben, but less is more because John wants Jen for himself,” the insider said. “He still needs to figure out how to compartmentalize it all.”

According to the Daily Mail, Miller had previously told Garner that it wasn’t just her job to help Affleck and Lopez solve their marital problems when their shock split occurred.

“He cares deeply for Ben and sympathizes with what he is going through with Jennifer, but that doesn’t mean Jen should be the one to fix her ex-husband’s issues with his current wife,” a source shared in June, two months before the “Ain’t Your Mama” singer filed for divorce.

“That makes no sense to anyone.”

Jennifer Lopez Allegedly Felt Threatened By Jennifer Garner The relationship between Garner and Affleck also caused concern for Lopez.

A source told OK! Magazine that there was tension between Lopez and Garner because the singer “felt threatened” by her throughout her marriage to Affleck.

“J.Lo felt threatened by Jen Garner for almost all of her marriage,” the insider claimed. “The way Ben would run to her for advice any time they had a fight drove her crazy.”

The insider continued by saying that Affleck enjoys “spending time with Jen and their kids” because it feels “much more comfortable than trying to do the blended family thing.”

“He’s so at ease with her, there’s no tension, no pressure, he can totally be himself,” the source added.

Ben Affleck Spent Several Holidays With Jennifer Garner And Their Kids

It seems that Lopez’s concerns happened before she filed for divorce from Affleck. During the time they were having problems, Affleck moved out of their Beverly Hills home and into a $100k-a-month rental home in Brentwood, which was close to Garner.

In August 2024, Affleck and Garner were seen taking their daughter, Violet, to her first year at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut.

They were also seen serving food at the Midnight Mission in L.A., California, on Thanksgiving Day, and reportedly spent Christmas together.

“Jen and Ben were all together for Christmas. It’s all for the kids,” a source told People Magazine. “Jen grew up surrounded by her family for the holidays, and she wants the same for her kids.”

The Actress Recently Sparked Concerns About Her Well-Being Meanwhile, Garner’s friends have raised concerns about her well-being as reports suggest she’s been worn out from helping others.

Having acted as a mediator in Affleck and Lopez’s troubled marriage, she soon began helping friends and loved ones affected by the devastating L.A. fires.

While doing this, she still had to take care of her children, whom she shares with Affleck, and film the second season of her AppleTV+ thriller “The Last Thing He Told Me.”

According to the Daily Mail, her friends have urged her to “relax” amid fears she might suffer burnout, with Affleck said to be on standby, ready to help.

“Jen has been dedicating every waking hour to helping her friends who have lost everything in the fires,” a source told the news outlet. “She is helping her church, and she has been going non-stop.”

They continued, “She needs to take some time to relax, but that is not how Jen is – not when she is passionate about something.” “The fires took a big toll on her, and she lost a friend. She has been out there every day volunteering her time,” the source revealed.
