Jen Garner and John Miller’s Relationship Strained Amid Ex-Husband’s Crisis

It has been nearly four months since Jennifer Garner and her longtime partner, John Miller, were photographed together. A source has revealed to Life & Style that the couple is currently facing challenges that have strained their relationship.

According to the source, Jennifer, aged 52, and John, aged 46, have been on a break, which coincided with her ex-husband Ben Affleck beginning to lean on her for support as his marriage to Jennifer Lopez faced difficulties.

“Jen’s had so much going on with Ben, it affected her relationship with John,” the source explained, emphasizing that the decision to separate was not Jennifer’s choice.

Ben Affleck’s recent split from Jennifer Lopez has brought him back into the orbit of his ex-wife. After filing for divorce from Lopez on August 20, with their separation dated back to April 26, Ben has been seeking support from Jennifer amid his emotional crises.

For years, Jennifer has been a source of support for Ben following their 2015 divorce, being there for him during his rehab stint in 2018, and even having the security code to his residence during his separation from Lopez.

Ben moved out of his mansion with Lopez in May and has since rented a new home in Brentwood, California, while the couple has placed their shared property on the market.

“Ben’s been turning to Jen for advice and support, and that’s been a big source of annoyance for John,” noted the insider, adding that John does not appreciate competing with her ex-husband for her attention.

Although John Miller, a businessman and CEO of CaliGroup, has been friendly with Ben, the situation has grown increasingly difficult as he has had to deal with Ben’s neediness and emotional crises following his separation from Lopez.

Many friends believe that Ben’s actions have significantly impacted Jennifer and John’s relationship. The demands placed on Jennifer due to Ben’s past issues with alcohol only add to the stress, as she prioritizes ensuring the well-being of their children amidst this turmoil.

Jennifer and Ben share three children: Violet, Fin, and Samuel. Navigating parenting while managing Ben’s challenges has become Jennifer’s focus, especially in light of their responsibility to help their children cope with the changes in their family dynamics.

Despite critics suggesting that Jennifer should establish boundaries with Ben, she feels a strong duty to be there for him out of concern for their children’s well-being.

John Miller and Jennifer have rekindled their relationship in the past, and her close circle continues to hope for their reconciliation, as there were even rumors of an engagement in 2022. However, the recent developments have cast uncertainty on their future together.
