Jennifer Garner is at the center of media attention following her paintballing adventure with Ben Affleck for their son’s birthday. Following 10 years of marriage, Affleck and Garner divorced in 2018 after first separating in 2015. However, they retained a close friendship for the good of their three kids. According to sources, Garner’s boyfriend since 2018, John Miller, asked Garner about her questionable photos with Affleck in March 2025.
Jennifer Garner’s boyfriend, John Miller, allegedly asked his famous girlfriend about her paintball photos with Ben Affleck
Jennifer Garner and John Miller started dating in 2018 — the same year Garner and Ben Affleck finalized their divorce. The couple has been on and off for years, though sources in 2024 said Garner and Miller were finally planning a wedding. However, Garner and Affleck continue to make headlines in 2025. Affleck finalized his divorce from Jennifer Lopez and has spent more time with his first ex-wife than ever. Photos and videos of Affleck and Garner paintballing for their son’s birthday showed Affleck tightly hugging Garner.
An insider told In Touch Weekly that Miller has become “a little concerned” with Garner and Affleck’s “close relationship.”
“Jen is very happy with John, but it’s no secret that Ben has become the third wheel in their relationship,” the insider alleged. “John is very secure in what he has with Jen; he doesn’t usually sweat it, but you can’t blame him for being a little concerned by her close relationship with her ex, especially when friends constantly come up to him and ask him what’s going on with Jen and Ben.”
The source added that Miller “stays away from social media” and avoids the gossip about Garner and Affleck. However, his friends and family ask him questions. As for the paintball outing, he allegedly asked Garner about the photos of her and Affleck that had the public talking.
“He did ask Jen about the photo that everyone was talking about, but it wasn’t this ugly confrontation,” the insider continued. “That’s not John’s style.”
The ’13 Going on 30′ actor reassured John Miller after the viral paintball photos, a source said
Jennifer Garner might have had to do some damage control following her viral paintball outing with Ben Affleck. An insider told Life & Style that she spent time reassuring John Miller of her love for him.
“Jen did feel badly about it and totally understood his reaction, but she reassured him that it was nothing,” the source alleged. “Of course he believed her, and no, he didn’t give Jen an ultimatum or tell her how to interact with her ex.”
The insider added that Miller and Garner are “just fine,” as Miller understands the dynamics of having children with an ex. “It’s the price you pay for dating a movie star,” the source noted. “… They’re together and happy.”
Sources previously told the publication that Miller completely understands that Garner has a place for Affleck in her life, as he’s the father of her children. While he may occasionally feel intimidated by Garner and Affleck’s bond, he knows Garner chooses him.
Jennifer Garner allegedly has no plans to rekindle her flame with Ben Affleck
Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck fans would love it if the exes got back together. While the photos of their paintball outing had the public talking, another insider told In Touch Weekly that they have no plans to rekindle their past flame.
“While some fans hope they’ll rekindle their relationship, it’s not going to happen,” the source explained. “Jen will always ride to Ben’s rescue, but it stops there.” The insider added that while Garner once referenced Affleck as “the love of my life,” she and John Miller are rock solid in 2025. According to the source, Garner is “truly in love” with Miller.
“Obviously, some people think John should be worried — most men wouldn’t be thrilled to see their girlfriend in an intimate embrace with her ex — but he is confident in the fact that Jen can be there for the father of her children and also remain faithful,” the source continued.
The insider noted that Garner’s friends think she needs “better boundaries” with Affleck moving forward.
