What Jennifer Garner’s Boyfriend Thinks of Ben Affleck Amid Jennifer Lopez Divorce Rumors
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have one of the sweetest love stories in Hollywood. However, they might be headed for divorce in 2024. The couple initially connected in the early 2000s but ended their engagement in 2004. Affleck fell for Jennifer Garner, and they have three kids. In 2018, Affleck and Garner finalized their divorce, but they remain close. Here’s what Garner’s current boyfriend allegedly thinks of her close friendship with Affleck as Affleck goes through difficulties with Lopez.
What does Jennifer Garner’s boyfriend, John Miller, think of her ex, Ben Affleck?
Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck couldn’t make their marriage last, but they still greatly respect each other. The exes have three kids together and eventually grew apart in their romance. Now, Affleck lives in a $100,000 monthly rental near Garner and away from his wife, Jennifer Lopez, as he and Lopez navigate their current marriage troubles.
While Garner is reportedly helping Affleck through his relationship troubles, she has a relationship of her own. Garner and John Miller have dated on and off since 2018. So, what does Miller think of Affleck amid the current chaos? A source told DailyMail.com that Miller “cares deeply” for Affleck but doesn’t want Garner to “hyper-focus” on him.
“Of course, it bothers John that Jen is so hyper-focused on her ex-husband,” the insider said. “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 insider added that Garner is “such a caring and wonderful woman” that she wants the best for Affleck, though it’s not her responsibility to fix her ex-husband’s woes. Miller has allegedly told Garner this.
Another source said Miller “stays out of” Garner and Affleck’s conversations because he doesn’t want to discuss Affleck. That said, Garner’s friendship with Affleck doesn’t negatively affect her current romance.
“It doesn’t affect her current relationship or her life in a negative way,” the second insider said. “She just wants to protect her kids, and by being there for Ben, if and when he needs, allows her to do that.”
Jennifer Garner spent time with Ben Affleck on Father’s Day in 2024
Jennifer Garner continues to prove that she’s there for Ben Affleck when he needs her most. Affleck and Jennifer Lopez reportedly no longer live together. While Lopez lives in the couple’s $60 million mansion, Affleck moved into a $100,000 monthly rental unit. Lopez has also reportedly been house hunting, as she and Affleck hope to sell their property as divorce rumors loom.
Affleck’s current rental is close to Garner’s home. Garner was seen heading to Affleck’s place over Father’s Day weekend. It’s unclear if Garner wanted to spend the day with Affleck and their three kids to celebrate Father’s Day, as her boyfriend, John Miller, has kids from his previous marriage to Caroline Campbell. However, the photos provided by Page Six show Garner heading alone to Affleck’s.
A source alleges that Jennifer Lopez doesn’t like her husband confiding in his ex
Jennifer Garner is willing to help her ex-husband, Ben Affleck, with his marital woes to Jennifer Lopez. Some sources claim Lopez is happy Affleck has his ex-wife to confide in. But a source told OK! Magazine that Lopez “hates” Affleck finding comfort in Garner.
“J. Lo hates that Ben goes back to his sensible, down-to-earth ex-wife for advice and emotional support,” the source claimed. “She doesn’t want Jen’s input.”
The same source said Garner “blames” Lopez for putting pressure on Affleck in their marriage. “[Garner] would never tell Ben, ‘I told you it wouldn’t work out,’ but she does blame J. Lo for the pressure she’s put Ben under,” the insider claimed.
