Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck were once one of Hollywood’s most beloved couples, married for a decade before separating in 2015 and divorcing in 2018. Despite their split, public attention on their past persists, especially as Garner’s current relationship with businessman John Miller is often compared to her marriage to Affleck.
Garner and Affleck began dating in 2004 and married in 2005. They had three children together, but their marriage struggled, partly due to Affleck’s alcohol issues. In 2015, they announced their separation, and Garner supported Affleck through his addiction, even staging an intervention in 2018. They finalized their divorce that October but remained close for their children’s sake. Affleck later called the divorce his “biggest regret” and acknowledged his drinking played a role in their breakup.
After the divorce, Garner began dating John Miller, CEO of a tech company, finding stability in a relationship that, despite a brief breakup in 2021, has since been steady. Public interest in Garner and Miller’s relationship grew due to Garner’s ongoing connection with Affleck, especially during his split from Jennifer Lopez.
While some fans compare Miller to Affleck, others support Garner, celebrating her happiness in this new chapter.
