Jennifer Garner and boyfriend John Miller are still going strong – as proven by their latest photos together!
Jennifer, 52, was spotted showing PDA with her partner during an outing in Los Angeles. In photos obtained by Daily Mail, the duo shared a hug as they stood in the street. In another picture, the 13 Going on 30 actress put her hand on the back pocket of the CaliBurger CEO’s jeans.
For the rare outing, Jennifer wore a pair of green leggings with white stripes going down the legs, as well as a pair of sneakers with long white socks and a black hooded sweatshirt. John, 47, opted for a pair of jeans and a plaid button-down shirt.
The couple were first linked in 2018, the same year the Family Switch actress’ divorce from Ben Affleck was finalized. Jennifer and Ben, 52, share three children: Violet, Fin and Samuel.
In the past, Jennifer and John faced some bumps in their relationship, breaking up briefly amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
“They split up before L.A. went into lockdown,” a source told In Touch in August 2020. “Jen and John remain on friendly terms so there’s a possibility that they could rekindle their relationship in the future, but right now it’s over.”
The pair rekindled things by the summer of 2021. The following year, an insider told In Touch that Jennifer’s kids had all met John by that point. John also has two children of his own from his marriage to Caroline Campbell.
“All the kids have met him and each other, it wasn’t a big deal,” the insider told In Touch in April 2022. “The blending of all the families has happened at a very natural progression. They’re all just going on with their lives.”
While things seemed to be going well for the duo after engagement rumors began to swirl, Jennifer and John put their relationship on the back burner once more in 2024 as Ben went through his divorce from Jennifer Lopez. Jennifer was seen spending time with Ben and their kids a number of times in the months prior to his divorce being finalized.
“Jen’s had so much going on with Ben, it just took a toll, and she and John ended up going their separate ways. It wasn’t her choice,” a source told Life & Style in August 2024.
Ben and J. Lo’s divorce was finalized in January.
“Jen’s been wonderful. She doesn’t judge,” a source told In Touch in June 2024 of the bond Jennifer shares with Ben. “Sure, Ben drives her crazy sometimes, but there’s an unbreakable bond there. Ben says Jen’s an angel and tells her she’s the only one who can save him.”
She then was able to get things back on track with John after consoling her ex-husband through his own heartbreak.
“John has shown incredible patience and that he’s really endeared him to Jennifer,” an insider told Life & Style in September 2024.
Another source admitted that the closeness of Jennifer and Ben was weighing on John.
“John has shown the patience of an absolute saint, he’s been so supportive and understanding of Jen’s situation with Ben,” a source said to Life & Style in January. “But at this point, even he’s hit the wall. Ben’s constant presence is very hard to take, John’s like the third wheel in his own relationship.”
