In the whirlwind of Hollywood breakups and makeups, Jennifer Garner’s journey to finding love again has been refreshingly low-key.
While the spotlight often shines brightly on her ex-husband Ben Affleck and his high-profile romances, Garner has quietly been nurturing a relationship with businessman John Miller, who like her, is happy being “an under-the-radar kind of couple.”

When Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck split in 2018, it wasn’t much of a surprise that he found himself back with “Jenny from the Block.”
While the public followed closely the rekindled romance between Affleck and Jennifer Lopez, which led to a joyous marriage and J.Lo’s track “Can’t Get Enough,” penned for Affleck, Garner’s relationship with John Miller remained relatively under wraps.
Reportedly, Garner and Miller had been an item for six months before her divorce from Affleck was finalized in 2018.
The once-power couple of Hollywood separated in 2015, yet they maintain a co-parenting relationship for their three children: Violet, 17, Seraphina, 14, and Samuel, 10.
Who is John Miller?
John Miller, born in 1978, is not your typical Hollywood beau. He’s an attorney and businessman, currently serving as the CEO of the fast-food chain CaliBurger and its parent company, CaliGroup.
Before his current role, Miller held the position of VP of intellectual property at Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals.
Prior to his relationship with Garner, Miller was married to American violinist Caroline Campbell, with whom he shares a daughter and a son.
Despite his professional success, Miller prefers to keep a low profile, much like his partner Jennifer Garner.
Going slow
Unlike the flashy romances often seen in Hollywood, Garner and Miller prefer to fly under the radar. Their relationship blossomed away from the prying eyes of the paparazzi, allowing them to nurture their connection without the glare of the spotlight.
Since their brief split from August 2020 to the spring of 2021, Miller and Garner have been solidifying their relationship.
According to a source, “He was eager for marriage, but she wasn’t ready to commit.”
Friends of the couple speak fondly of their dynamic, noting that the Elektra star and Miller bring out the best in each other.
A source shared, “John is deeply enamored and supportive, without being overbearing. He respects Jen’s need for space but is always there for her in tough times or when she craves spontaneity. They’ve had some fantastic getaways together… it’s one of their favorite things to do.”

Staying low
In July 2022, public interest piqued regarding Garner’s response to her ex-husband’s marriage to Lopez.
Putting fans at ease, Garner and Miller were frequently photographed together, radiating happiness in each other’s presence, seemingly unfazed by Affleck’s impromptu wedding in Las Vegas.
Then, in January 2023, Entertainment Tonight featured a story accompanied by images of Affleck “engaging in cheerful conversation with John.”
The media outlet reported, “Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck are demonstrating that former partners can coexist harmoniously! Jennifer and her partner John Miller were spotted arriving at their residence, where Ben was observed happily conversing with John. The discreet couple was later seen in Santa Barbara, enjoying a shopping trip in Montecito’s Village.”

Going with ‘the flow’
Gradually becoming more at ease with showcasing their relationship to the public eye, the stunning couple is increasingly spotted together, displaying their affection through kisses, hand-holding, or early morning jogs.
“Jen’s confidence in sharing her bond with John has grown because they’ve developed a deeper sense of comfort and security,” a source revealed. “She takes pride in flaunting their connection.”
In November 2023, another insider disclosed to Us Weekly that Garner and Miller are “thriving.” The source elaborated, “They used to be cautious about attracting attention, but now they both feel assured about their relationship and how it has evolved.”
Marking a significant milestone on her 50th birthday, the couple achieved a heartwarming moment by uniting their children and families for a charitable food drive. However, they’re not rushing into blending their families just yet.

According to friends, while the topic of marriage is on the table for Garner and Miller, they’re in no hurry. Currently, Garner finds contentment in cherishing their bond without the need for formal labels.
The source notes that Garner, known for her role in “13 Going on 30,” sets the pace, and Miller happily follows suit, embracing the fluidity of their relationship.
“Jen and John share a truly unique bond,” another insider remarked. “After enduring much public scrutiny in her previous marriage [with Affleck], she relishes being with someone outside the celebrity sphere.”
It’s heartening to learn that Jennifer Garner has found love anew, and we eagerly anticipate witnessing their relationship flourish.
