While some celebrity couples are open about their relationships and even pack on some PDA on a carpet from time to time, other couples like to keep things quiet. For Jennifer Garner and her boyfriend John Miller of 4+ years, the latter couldn’t be more true. In fact, to this day the two have yet to make a public appearance together and are only rarely photographed by paparazzi.
Here’s what we know about Miller: he’s a businessman and an attorney who currently works as the CEO of CaliBurger and its parent company, CaliGroup, per Elle. In addition, much like Garner, Miller’s also been married before. According to People, Miller was married to violinist Caroline Campbell and filed for divorce in 2011. Miller and Campbell share two kids together.
For Garner, who has three kids and two previous marriages (to Scott Foley from 2000 to 2004 and Ben Affleck from 2005 to 2018), the two seem like a perfect match. The two met in 2018 and besides a brief split in 2020, appear to be going strong to this day.

Three Plus Two Makes Five

According to Us Weekly, however, it took a while for all the kids to know each other. “John’s kids finally met Jen’s kids,” a source told the outlet about Garner’s 50th birthday celebration in April 2022. “Lots of kids and family were invited, including John’s kids, his parents, his brother, and his [brother’s] wife.”

A Casual Start

Given that her marriage to Affleck wasn’t even finalized yet (it finalized in November), the two reportedly kept it casual in the beginning. “They are casually dating but it’s not serious,” a source told People.

Needing a Break

Per Us Weekly, Miller “was ready for marriage” while Garner “just couldn’t commit.” After confirming she was single in an interview with People in March, the two got back together by May 2021.

Looking Long-Term

“She’s just decided after a lot of thought that she’s just not in a hurry to rush down the aisle just yet and that she feels perfectly happy cherishing and enjoying what they have — for now — without a formal label,” the source added.

He’s ‘Stepdad Material’

Another source said to the same publication, “John has run the gauntlet to show that he’s husband and stepdad material, which meant he had to prove himself not just to Jennifer but to Ben as well. Luckily, he’s passed all those tests with flying colors.”
