Jennifer Garner and Boyfriend John Miller Might Prep for a Malibu Wedding, Source Says
The public knows Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck for their 10-year marriage and subsequent divorce. The actors fell in love in the early 2000s and went their separate ways in 2015. However, they remained friends and co-parents post-divorce. Now, Garner might be preparing for marriage with her longtime boyfriend, John Miller. Here’s what a source said about a possible marriage location for the couple.
Jennifer Garner and John Miller might tie the knot in Malibu, according to a source
Jennifer Garner doesn’t often discuss the end of her marriage to Ben Affleck or her current relationship with John Miller. However, Garner and Miller have been romantically linked for years. The couple began dating in 2018, the same year as Garner and Affleck’s divorce. A source told Us Weekly the couple’s romance was heating up and getting “serious” after just six months.
“They’ve been together six months — and it’s getting pretty serious,” one insider revealed.
“Jen brings out the best in John, and he is the happiest he has probably ever been,” another source said. “It’s a loving, healthy relationship.”
By 2019, the couple was allegedly discussing marriage. A source told Life & Style that Miller and Garner were “secretly engaged” in 2022. “John spent a long time making Jen an engagement ring and gave it to her two years ago, around April 2022, which is when she turned 50,” the source alleged.
So, where will Miller and Garner tie the knot? Knowing Garner, sources suspect she’ll have a small, intimate ceremony without much media attention. A source hinted that Miller’s Malibu land might be the perfect location.
“John has land in Malibu,” an insider told the publication, adding, “It might happen there.”
Jennifer Garner and John Miller have allegedly become ‘very secure’ in their relationship
Jennifer Garner and John Miller stay out of the media spotlight, which might help keep their relationship “very secure.” A source told Us Weekly that the couple was in a “great place” as of November 2023.
“Jen and John are in a great place,” the source said. “They used to go out of their way to keep a low profile, but they’ve both become very secure with their relationship and how it’s all worked out.” The insider added that Garner loves her boyfriend’s “humble” nature despite his mega-success in the business world.
Another source added that Garner and Miller have a “special relationship,” and Garner loves that Miller doesn’t have Hollywood fame. “After having so much of her [marriage with Affleck] in the spotlight, she really enjoys being with someone who isn’t a celebrity,” the insider said.

The ’13 Going on 30′ actor’s boyfriend is allegedly ‘bothered’ by her helping Ben Affleck
Jennifer Garner has reportedly helped Ben Affleck with his marital troubles to Jennifer Lopez in 2024. A source told DailyMail.com that John Miller felt “bothered” by Garner’s assistance.
“Of course, it bothers John that Jen is so hyper-focused on her ex-husband,” the insider alleged. “He cares deeply for Ben and sympathizes with what he is going through with Jennifer. But that doesn’t mean Jen should be the one to fix her ex-husband’s issues with his current wife. That makes no sense to anyone.”
The source added that Miller “told” Garner that taking care of Affleck wasn’t her responsibility. “John wants nothing more than for Ben to be OK, but it isn’t his girlfriend’s responsibility to play babysitter to him,” the insider continued. “That is for Ben to figure out on his own and for his wife to handle. It isn’t Jen’s responsibility, and he has told her this.”
