Jennifer Garner’s Boyfriend Issues Ultimatum Over Ben Affleck’s Cozy Photos

LOS ANGELES, March 14, 2025 — Jennifer Garner‘s boyfriend, John Miller, has reportedly issued an ultimatum regarding her interactions with ex-husband Ben Affleck. This comes after the Oscar-winning actor was seen getting cozy with Garner during their son Samuel‘s recent 13th birthday celebration.

According to a source close to the couple, Miller, 47, felt that Affleck’s behavior crossed a line. “John has always been supportive of Ben and Jen’s co-parenting relationship but feels Ben crossed the line,” the insider said. “He doesn’t want to see anything like that again or he has no choice but to walk away.”

Affleck, 52, was photographed grabbing Garner, 52, affectionately during a paintball event at Combat Paintball Park in Castaic, California, on March 2. The moment sparked speculation about their ongoing relationship, despite them being divorced since 2015.

Miller’s discomfort reportedly stems from observing the closeness of his girlfriend and her ex-husband. “John knows there’s nothing going on between Jen and Ben, but he doesn’t think those photos are a good look and feels it’s disrespectful to their relationship,” the source explained.

Further complicating matters, sources have noted that Miller has not been excited about Affleck’s increasing presence in their lives, particularly during family gatherings like Christmas and Thanksgiving. “Their growing bond is getting to be a bit much for John,” the insider added.

Despite these tensions, Garner and Miller appeared happy during a recent outing at the Brentwood Country Mart in Los Angeles, where they were described as looking “very cute” and “happy and at ease like a married couple that is thriving.” Witnesses reported they were holding hands, kissing, and looking like a normal couple, free from Hollywood’s typical drama.

Garner and Affleck share three children: Violet, 19, Seraphina, 16, and Samuel. Their co-parenting relationship has been characterized as amicable, but it is currently being tested by Miller’s concerns and the recent public displays of affection between Garner and Affleck.

Representatives for Garner, Miller, and Affleck did not immediately respond to inquiries regarding the situation.

As the story continues to unfold, the public remains curious about how these relationships will evolve, especially as Garner maintains her long-term romance with Miller despite the ongoing dynamics with Affleck.
