Businessman John Miller, the boyfriend of actress Jennifer Garner, is said to be worried as she and her ex-husband, actor Ben Affleck, spend more and more time together.
Page Six quoted a source saying that John Miller felt uncomfortable with Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck’s recent relationship. John understood that Ben was going through a difficult divorce with singer Jennifer Lopez and relied on Garner, but their attachment seemed to become a bit excessive when the actor spent all holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas at his ex-wife’s house. “John felt like a third wheel,” the source revealed.

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner have remained friends for years as they co-parent their three children after splitting in 2018. However, the former couple are said to be “closer than ever” as Garner helped Affleck through his divorce from J.Lo last year and the wildfires that swept through Ben’s neighborhood earlier this year.
Previously, the former couple’s only contact revolved around parenting, but now “John is worried that their relationship may be more than that.” The source revealed that the 47-year-old businessman does not think his girlfriend will return to Ben, but he cannot help but feel jealous of the strong connection between the two actors.

John Miller – a technology entrepreneur who owns a chain of restaurants in the US – has been dating Jennifer Garner since 2018. They broke up for a while, rumored to be because John wanted to get married but the Alias star was not ready because she wanted to focus on raising three children. John Miller has also been divorced once and has two children.
Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck have three children together: Violet, 19, Seraphina, 16, and Samuel, 12. They live close to each other, often see each other, and participate in activities with their children. On Thanksgiving, Ben Affleck was seen doing charity work with Garner and their three children. Later that afternoon, the 52-year-old actor walked over to his ex-wife’s house for dinner.
People reported in December that Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck , although close, are just friends, and that the actress is still dating businessman John Miller. “She’s very happy with John Miller and sees him often. Jen just wants the kids to be happy and everyone to see each other as family, including Ben,” the source said.
