Jennifer Garner and John Miller have had an on-and-off relationship since 2018, navigating their romance through various phases over the years.
Jennifer Garner and John Miller are one of Hollywood’s couples known for keeping their relationship private.
The actress, famous for her role in 13 Going on 30, and the CEO began dating in 2018, around the time Garner finalized her divorce from Ben Affleck, with whom she shares three children: Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel.
A source told PEOPLE that despite her divorce being recent, Garner had already felt single for some time. The source noted that dating felt like a natural step for her. While she would always care about and support Affleck as a father, she was ready to move on and was excited about her future.
Miller, who was previously married to violinist Caroline Campbell and shares two children with her, filed for divorce in 2011.
By 2020, it appeared Garner and Miller had separated. However, they seemed to rekindle their relationship the following year, as they were seen together on several occasions.
The couple remains extremely private about their relationship, never discussing it publicly or making public appearances together. Despite this, fans are pleased to see them both finding happiness again. Here’s a detailed timeline of Jennifer Garner and John Miller's relationship.
Jennifer Garner begins dating John Miller after finalizing divorce from Ben Affleck
On November 7, 2018, Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck officially finalized their divorce. A private judge signed off on their divorce and submitted the judgment. The couple agreed to share joint legal and physical custody of their three children and committed to attending co-parenting therapy sessions monthly for at least six months to support their family's adjustment.
Just two days later, on November 9, 2018, Jennifer Garner and John Miller made their first public appearance as a couple. They attended a showing of the musical Dear Evan Hansen at the Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles. Although Garner and Miller entered and exited the theater separately, a photo captured them smiling together in the backseat of a vehicle. A source informed PEOPLE that their relationship was still casual and Garner wasn't ready to label Miller as her boyfriend. The source emphasized that Garner enjoyed her time with Miller, appreciated his attention, and valued their easygoing dynamic. It was also mentioned that Garner prioritized her children and would only see Miller when she wasn't busy with them, a fact that Miller fully understood.
Almost a year later, on September 19, 2019, Garner and Miller were seen together again, dining at Giorgio Baldi, an Italian restaurant in Santa Monica, California. The couple arrived separately for the dinner, continuing their pattern of keeping their relationship low-key.
In January 2020, Jennifer Garner hinted at her single status in a playful interaction on social media. After posting a meme about different photos she would use for various social media profiles, a fan suggested she switch the photos for Instagram and Tinder. Garner humorously replied, "Shoot, is THAT why no one swipes?" Around the same time, Garner expressed to PEOPLE her readiness for a "fresh start" in 2020, focusing on family and friends without mentioning Miller.
By March 2021, Garner confirmed in an interview with PEOPLE that she was single. She described feeling "sturdy" and content with her life at home with her children, despite the occasional challenges. While Garner was uncertain about marrying again, she did not rule out the possibility of future relationships, saying, "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."
