Jennifer Garner’s name has been in the news a lot lately amid her ex-husband Ben Affleck‘s divorce from Jennifer Lopez. Not only do Garner and Affleck co-parent their three children Violet, Finn, and Samuel, but the 13 Going on 30 star and the Air actor have also remained good friends after their marriage ended. And Garner has become the shoulder Affleck has been able to lean on during his marital woes with the “Jenny From the Block” artist.

On Aug. 20, Lopez officially filed for divorce from her husband of two years and listed their separation date as April 26, 2024. Following that news, it was reported that Garner and her partner, John Miller, were “taking a break” leading many to believe that Affleck’s drama with J.Lo was affecting Garner’s current relationship. But a source close to the couple says not so fast.

Here’s why the brakes are being pumped on that report, plus a few things you didn’t know about Miller including his impressive net worth and whether it’s higher than Garner’s.

Who has the higher net worth Garner or Miller?

Miller was born in 1978 in Los Angeles and graduated from Stanford Law School.

His first high-profile job was as the Vice President of Intellectual Property at Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals. He has become a successful businessman and today serves as the CEO of CaliGroup, which owns the CaliBurger chain of restaurants. CaliGroup has investments in technology companies involved in robotic automation and AI for restaurants and facial recognition for payment. Miller is also a published author and has a net worth of $20 million, according to The Things.

While Miller’s net worth is impressive, it isn’t near as much as Garner’s. The movie star has been in the entertainment business since the mid-90s and is featured in more than three dozen films and TV shows including Electra, Pearl Harbor, Valentine’s Day, Dallas Buyers Club, and Peppermint to name a few.

These days, she has an estimated net worth of $80 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.

Garner and Miller have been in an on-again, off-again relationship since 2018 after her divorce from Affleck was finalized. In August 2020, they reportedly split because he wanted to get married but the Daredevil actor was not ready to walk down the aisle again. In March 2021, she revealed that she was single; however, in February 2023, they were spotted out together and insiders said they had been back on for a year.

Now, Life &Style has reported that their relationship has “suffered” as Affleck began to rely more and more on his ex-wife when his marriage to J.Lo fell apart. The publication claimed: “Jen’s had so much going on with Ben, it just took a toll she and John ended up going their separate ways. It wasn’t her choice.”

But despite that report, a source responded telling People that’s not the case and that Garner “is happy with John.”  

Miller and Garner have always tried to keep their relationship as private as possible and haven’t spoken about each other publicly, so we’ll just have to stay tuned and see how this turns out.
