Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck have been spending more time together lately in the wake of his divorce from Jennifer Lopez. 

However, despite their close connection, sources close to the Alias star insist there is no rekindled romance between the former spouses.

Garner, 52, who shares three children—Violet, 19, Fin, 16, and Samuel, 12—with Affleck, remains committed to her relationship with businessman John Miller.

Despite speculation about Miller’s feelings regarding Garner and Affleck’s frequent interactions, insiders confirm that their relationship is solid.

Garner and Affleck’s Co-Parenting Dynamic

Garner and Affleck, who were married for over a decade before their 2018 divorce, have long prioritized their children’s well-being.

Their strong co-parenting relationship has continued even as Affleck’s personal life has gone through ups and downs, including his recent split from Lopez.

According to sources, Garner has been a source of support for Affleck during this difficult time, but their connection remains centered around their shared responsibilities as parents. While the two have been seen together more often lately, those close to the actress insist it is simply a reflection of their long-standing friendship and dedication to their family.

Jennifer Garner and John Miller’s Relationship Remains Strong

While some reports suggested that Miller, 47, might be uncomfortable with the amount of time Garner and Affleck are spending together, sources dismiss these rumors.

“Everything is fine with John and Jen,” an insider told Us Weekly. “Those close to them haven’t heard of any issues.”

Garner and Miller, who first began dating in 2018 following her divorce from Affleck, have kept their relationship mostly private. The 13 Going on 30 star is also involved with Miller’s children from his previous marriage, further strengthening their bond as a blended family.

According to reports, Miller had even considered purchasing a home near Garner’s before the recent Los Angeles wildfires derailed those plans. He also spends significant time at her home, with sources noting that he has occasionally driven her to work.

Ben Affleck’s Divorce from Jennifer Lopez

Affleck, 52, and Lopez, 55, married in 2022, but their relationship faced significant challenges. Lopez filed for divorce in August 2024, citing irreconcilable differences, with their official separation dating back to April of that year. The divorce was finalized in January 2025.

Reports suggest that Affleck and Garner’s communication has increased in the wake of his divorce, with sources telling Page Six that they “text, call, and communicate far more than they have over the past several years.”

While their interactions were previously centered solely around co-parenting, some insiders claim that Miller has noticed a shift. “John feels like a third wheel,” a source said, adding that he doesn’t believe Garner would reunite romantically with Affleck but does recognize the deep bond they share.

Garner Encourages Affleck to Make Positive Changes

Garner’s influence over Affleck remains significant, with reports suggesting that she has urged him to “grow up” following his split from Lopez.

An insider told In Touch that Garner has been frustrated with Affleck’s attitude toward Lopez, claiming that he has been “impatient” and “ungrateful.” While Garner has moved on from their marriage, she still plays a role in helping Affleck navigate his personal and professional life.

Engagement Rumors and the Future of Garner and Miller’s Relationship

Despite the ongoing speculation about her bond with Affleck, Garner has continued to build her life with Miller. Last month, she was spotted wearing a diamond ring on her left hand, leading to speculation about a possible engagement.

While neither Garner nor Miller has confirmed the engagement rumors, their relationship appears to be moving forward, unaffected by her past with Affleck.

As for Affleck, he remains focused on co-parenting his children and moving on from his high-profile divorce.

While his growing bond with Garner has raised eyebrows, those closest to the situation maintain that their relationship is strictly platonic, built on years of shared history and mutual respect.
