John Miller, Jennifer Garner’s partner, is reportedly struggling with her close relationship with ex-husband Ben Affleck, especially now that his divorce from Jennifer Lopez is finalized. Insiders claim that Miller tries to avoid discussing Affleck, although he understands the necessity of Ben’s involvement as a father. However, he wants to be the primary man in Garner’s life.
Miller, who started dating Garner in 2018, is said to be respectful toward Affleck but finds the situation difficult to navigate. He prefers to avoid bringing up Ben unless prompted by Garner or their children. While he understands the complexities of co-parenting, Miller believes it’s not Jennifer’s responsibility to “fix” Affleck’s issues with his new wife, Lopez.
Miller’s discomfort with Affleck’s presence became more evident when it was reported that Affleck would be ready to drop everything to support Garner if needed. Friends have urged Jennifer to focus on her own well-being, as she has been juggling her own career, raising children, and providing emotional support to Affleck, especially following his divorce from Lopez.
Throughout their marriage and beyond, Garner has been highly supportive of Affleck, particularly through his struggles with alcoholism. Their shared focus on their children, Violet, Finn, and Samuel, remains a strong bond. However, with the finalization of Affleck’s divorce from Lopez, the dynamic between the exes may shift as they continue to navigate their relationship for the sake of their family.
