Jennifer Garner's boyfriend breaks his silence after video with ex-husband Ben Affleck sparks rumors

Jennifer Garner’s current boyfriend, John Miller, has been spotted for the first time since a viral video showed her sharing a cozy moment with her ex-husband, Ben Affleck.

The video, which captured the pair sharing a hug while celebrating their son Sam’s 13th birthday during a paintball outing, has fueled speculation that they may be rekindling their romance, despite Garner's ongoing relationship with Miller. Affleck, who was in Austin attending the South by Southwest festival, appeared affectionate with his ex-wife, leading some to wonder if their bond could be more than friendly.

However, Miller, 47, was seen visiting Garner's home in Brentwood on Sunday, wearing casual attire and sending a clear message that their relationship is strong. The businessman wore a grey t-shirt, blue jeans, suede brown boots, and a trucker hat as he entered the actress's home, visibly unphased by the media frenzy.

A source close to the situation clarified: "Ben is not Jen's boyfriend, nor is he her husband anymore. John [Miller] is her partner, and she is happy in her relationship." The insider also noted that Affleck’s friends believe that if Garner and Miller ever split, Affleck would jump at the chance to reconcile with her. However, this notion has been firmly dismissed by the actress, who continues to maintain a close friendship with Affleck, despite their divorce in 2018.

The source further added, “Ben and Jen have a unique relationship. Ben loves Jennifer more than any woman he has ever loved besides his mom. He has accepted they cannot be together but will always flirt with Jennifer." Garner, who shares three children with Affleck, has expressed that their friendship is rooted in mutual respect, and they continue to co-parent effectively.
