Jennifer Garner and her longtime boyfriend, John Miller, are reportedly taking a break from their relationship, and it seems that Ben Affleck’s recent split from Jennifer Lopez may have played a role. According to a source who spoke with Life & Style, the couple’s romance began to falter around the same time Affleck’s marriage to JLo started to unravel.
The insider explained that the strain on Garner and Miller’s relationship coincided with the turbulence in Affleck’s life. “Ben had so much going on with Jen,” the source revealed, “it just took a toll on her relationship with John.” The demands of co-parenting and maintaining a close relationship with her ex-husband appear to have impacted Garner’s personal life, leading to a separation that was reportedly not her choice. “She and John ended up going their separate ways,” the source added, “It wasn’t her choice.”
The timing of Garner and Miller’s break aligns with significant developments in Affleck’s personal life. On Wednesday, August 20, Jennifer Lopez officially filed for divorce from Ben Affleck, marking April 26 as their date of separation. The split ended their whirlwind romance, which had captivated the media and fans alike.
Throughout these events, Garner has consistently been a pillar of support for Affleck. The 13 Going on 30 star has been by his side since their own divorce in 2015, even standing by him during his struggles with alcohol addiction and supporting him as he checked into rehab. Their close relationship has continued despite their divorce, with the two reportedly sharing access to each other’s homes, including the security code during Affleck’s separation from JLo.
Garner’s commitment to being there for Affleck, even as he navigates the end of his high-profile marriage, seems to have come at a cost to her own romantic life. As Garner and Miller take a step back, the challenges of balancing her past and present relationships have become more apparent.
The future of Garner and Miller’s relationship remains uncertain, but the strain caused by the intertwining of their lives with Affleck’s drama is undeniable. As the dust settles from these recent events, only time will tell if Garner and Miller will find their way back to each other, or if this break will mark the end of their romance.
