Divorce is always messy, and Jennifer Garner knows the grueling experience of having her personal conflict with her ex-husband Ben Affleck get heavily publicized in the media. The split was resolved in 2018, which was also the time the Elektra actress found herself in love again.
Garner and John Miller, chairman and CEO of Cali Group, started quietly dating even before the actress’ legal separation from Affleck took effect. She had felt single for a long time, and on October 2018, they finally appeared as an item in public.
Jennifer Garner Finds Second Chance At Love With Businessman John Miller
An insider revealed to OK Magazine the juicy details about Jennifer Garner and John Miller’s relationship:
“Jen truly never imagined that this day would come again. She says life is full of blessings and surprises. She’s happier than she’s been in a very long time.”
The source also praised Miller for his wonderful treatment of Garner and her children from the previous marriage:
“John is so kind and patient. He loves Jen and her kids and thinks she’s gorgeous — he’s always complimenting her — and he respects and appreciates her for the caring and amazing woman that she is.”
The 13 Going on 30 star endured her unhappy relationship with Affleck, who admitted struggling with alcohol abuse. The Justice League star confessed to turning to alcohol because he felt “trapped” in his marriage with Garner. They share three children: Violet, 17, Seraphina, 14, and Samuel, 11. The insider added:
“She says she finally trusts someone with her heart. John brings out the best in Jen.”
At the moment, the couple has no plans to move in together. Miller wanted to live near his girlfriend, so he rented a house only miles away from Garner.
“Jen and John are perfectly happy with the way things are right now.”
Garner’s second shot at romance finally gave the happy love story her heart desires, and hopefully, everything goes well with her relationship with Miller.
Jennifer Garner Takes It Slow And Steady
Although the split was a bitter experience, Jennifer Garner does not harbor ill feelings toward Ben Affleck. A source shared to People:
“Although the divorce was just finalized, Jen has considered herself single for a long time. Dating is just a natural step. Jen will always care about Ben and help him be the best dad. She was very ready to move on though. She seems very excited about the future and is in a great place both personally and professionally.”
While she is very much in love with her present partner, marriage is not something she would rush into. Garner learned her lesson, and she wants to tread carefully from now on:
“I don’t know. I’m so far from it. And I don’t know that marriage would need to be a part… I mean I definitely don’t think that I’ll be single forever. But this is not the time. I don’t need to complicate it. I’m good.”
Garner seems to take extra caution this time, and it’s a good decision to wait a bit and test the waters before diving into the pool of marriage again.
