Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner have managed to keep a solid friendship going even after their divorce. In 2024, there were whispers that Garner was stepping back into Affleck’s life, allegedly assisting him as he dealt with his split from Jennifer Lopez. The two even celebrated holidays together with their kids, which led to some chatter about what their relationship really looks like.

Meanwhile, Garner’s boyfriend, John Miller, is said to be a bit uneasy about the closeness between her and Affleck, wondering if they can really just be friends without any complications.

Miller isn't so sure about Affleck hanging around Garner

Garner began her relationship with Miller in 2018, right after she wrapped up her divorce from Affleck, which was finalized after their split in 2015. Last year, the ex-couple was seen together multiple times while Affleck was going through his own divorce from Lopez. A source shared with Life & Style in January 2024 that Miller has been incredibly patient regarding the dynamic between Affleck and Garner, but he’s starting to feel overwhelmed. The insider mentioned, “Ben’s always around, and it’s tough for John; he feels like a third wheel in his own relationship.”

The source also pointed out that Garner is always quick to pick up Affleck’s calls, especially since they could be about their kids or emergencies. It’s clear she has a soft spot for him, and it’s understood that any guy dating her needs to be cool with Ben. Still, Miller is concerned about Affleck’s ability to keep things healthy with Garner during this divorce.

The insider added, “Unless Jen can start prioritizing her life with John and set some boundaries, there’s a growing sense among his friends that he might not be able to handle this much longer. Something’s got to change.”

Miller is the complete opposite of Affleck

Miller is a bit worried about Garner due to Affleck’s struggle with keeping “healthy boundaries,” but sources say that the former couple is in a really good spot after spending the holidays together. An insider mentioned, “Jennifer and Ben are probably at the best place in their relationship right now. They’ve faced a lot, but they’ve kept their focus on family through it all. They prioritize their kids and genuinely enjoy each other’s company.”

Another source pointed out that while Garner had a soft spot for Affleck during their marriage, Miller is totally different from her ex. According to Life & Style, “The relationship with John happened because he’s basically the opposite of Ben Affleck. He’s laid-back and doesn’t feel the need to prove anything, unlike Ben, who can be pretty stressed out on his bad days.”

Miller and Garner seem to be heading towards marriage, but some people close to them are a bit concerned about their “wildly different personalities,” as reported by Cheatsheet.
