Unlike the high-profile romance of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez, Jennifer Garner has been quietly dating out of the public eye. Garner, 51, is in a low-key relationship with businessman John Miller, and both are content keeping things private.
An insider shares that Garner and Miller have embraced being “an under-the-radar kind of couple,” choosing a simpler path away from the Hollywood spotlight.

When Garner and Affleck finalized their divorce in 2018, Affleck’s rekindled relationship with Jennifer Lopez captured the public’s attention. But little has been known about Garner’s relationship with Miller, which reportedly began six months before her divorce was finalized.
Since their 2015 separation, Garner and Affleck have maintained a collaborative co-parenting relationship for their three children: Violet, 17, Seraphina, 14, and Samuel, 10.
Meet John Miller
Born in 1978, Miller is an attorney and CEO of CaliBurger and its parent company, CaliGroup. Previously, he held the position of Vice President of Intellectual Property at Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals. He was married to violinist Caroline Campbell from 2005 to 2014 and shares two children with her: a daughter named Violet and a son, Quest.

For the last five years, Garner and Miller have preferred to keep their relationship out of the limelight. “She loves how little he cares about fame or Hollywood,” a source told Us Weekly, adding, “They’re not interested in public appearances or attending events together—it’s just not their style.”
A Strong Connection
The couple briefly split from August 2020 to the spring of 2021. At the time, sources indicated Miller was ready for a commitment that Garner wasn’t quite prepared for. But friends say the two have since developed a supportive relationship that brings out the best in both of them.
“John is caring but not overbearing,” one friend said. “He gives Jen space but is there when she needs him, and they’ve had some wonderful vacations together—something they both enjoy.”
Navigating Life Together
After Affleck married Lopez in July 2022, Garner and Miller were spotted together several times, looking happy and unaffected by her ex-husband’s marriage. In early 2023, Entertainment Tonight even reported a friendly interaction between Affleck and Miller, highlighting the cooperative relationship among all parties.
Over time, Garner and Miller have become more comfortable sharing their relationship publicly, occasionally seen holding hands, jogging, or enjoying a quiet moment together. “Jen is a lot more relaxed about being seen with John now,” a source revealed. “She’s proud to show him off.”
In November 2023, another insider noted that the couple is “in a great place,” feeling secure and happy with the bond they’ve built. Garner and Miller marked a special moment on her 50th birthday, bringing their families together for a food drive, a significant step in their relationship. However, they’re not in a rush to blend families or move toward marriage. According to friends, while marriage has been discussed, they’re both happy to “cherish what they have” without the need for a formal label.
Garner, who rose to fame with 13 Going on 30, is enjoying a quieter life with Miller, appreciating the privacy and intimacy that their relationship brings.
It’s heartwarming to see Garner in a relationship that offers her happiness and balance. What are your thoughts on her journey? Share your comments, and if you’re interested, check out our look into Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s relationship!
