Jennifer Garner has been captured in a romantic moment that has sparked revelations from sources close to Ben Affleck about his true feelings regarding his ex-wife’s new relationship, amid his own marital troubles with Jennifer Lopez.

The “13 Going on 30” star, who has maintained an amicable relationship with Affleck since their divorce was finalized in 2018, has reportedly found happiness with businessman John Miller. While Garner has kept her romance largely private, recent photographs showing her in an affectionate embrace with Miller have apparently prompted reactions from Affleck’s inner circle. The timing is particularly notable as Affleck’s current marriage to Jennifer Lopez faces persistent rumors of strain, with reports suggesting the couple has been living separately in recent months.

Still in love? Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck share a subtle moment that says it all

Affleck and Garner, who share three children -Violet, 19, Fin, 16, and Samuel, 13 – have long been praised for their cooperative co-parenting approach. Despite their split, they’ve frequently been spotted attending family events together and supporting their children at school functions and activities. This positive dynamic has led many to wonder how Affleck truly feels seeing Garner move forward romantically while his own relationship appears to be struggling.

The complicated triangle: Garner, Affleck and Lopez

Sources close to Affleck reveal that the actor harbors complex emotions about Garner’s relationship. “Ben will always have a special place in his heart for Jen,” an insider reportedly shared. “They were together for over a decade and created a beautiful family together. He genuinely wants her to be happy, but it’s complicated to see someone you once considered the love of your life with someone else.”

The timing of these revelations coincides with increasing speculation about Affleck’s marriage to Lopez. The couple, who rekindled their romance in 2021 after originally dating in the early 2000s, have reportedly been experiencing difficulties. Multiple sources have indicated that Affleck moved out of their shared $60 million mansion, with some reports suggesting he’s renting a property closer to Garner’s home to be near his children.

Garner, meanwhile, has been dating Miller since 2018, with their relationship progressing steadily but quietly over the years. Unlike the high-profile nature of “Bennifer,” Garner has chosen to keep her romance largely out of the public eye, though the couple has occasionally been photographed together around Los Angeles.

The Jennifer Garner’s supportive ex-wife role

What makes this situation particularly intriguing is Garner’s reputation as a supportive presence in Affleck’s life, even after their divorce. When Affleck struggled with sobriety issues, Garner was reportedly instrumental in helping him seek treatment. Even during the early days of his rekindled romance with Lopez, sources indicated that Garner was supportive of the relationship and hoped it would bring stability to their co-parenting dynamic.

As Affleck now reportedly grapples with marital troubles, many wonder if his perspective on Garner’s relationship has shifted. “There’s definitely a part of Ben that still sees Jennifer as his foundation,” a source close to the actor claimed. “They’ve been through so much together, and she’s always been his rock, even after the divorce. Seeing her truly move on while his own marriage faces challenges has been a difficult reality to process.”

Whether Affleck’s reported feelings about Garner’s relationship will impact his own marriage remains to be seen. What seems clear, however, is that the complex dynamics between these three high-profile celebrities continue to evolve as they navigate their interconnected lives in the public eye.
