Jennifer Garner’s boyfriend breaks cover after Ben Affleck’s shock act

Jennifer Garner’s long-term boyfriend, John Miller, was pictured for the first time since a bombshell video of her and ex-husband Ben Affleck reportedly left him rattled.

Jennifer Garner’s boyfriend has been seen for the first time since her cosy paintball session with her newly single ex Ben Affleck.

The actress, 52, was married to the Batman star, 51, for 10 years before they split in 2015 and welcomed three kids together. They have always maintained a friendship while they co-parent their children and Jennifer even supported Ben in his split from Jennifer Lopez. However, in a new video they looked surprisingly close when they went paintballing in Los Angeles for their son Sam’s 13th birthday.

In the bombshell footage, Ben put his arm around Jennifer’s waist and held her close as the actress pointed her gun wearing a protective mask and camouflage gilet. The seasoned stars looked like a couple in the surprising show of intimacy, despite Jennifer being in a relationship with long-term boyfriend John Miller.

Following the clip, John sent a clear message about his relationship with Jennifer while Ben headed out of town to Austin, Texas. He was seen visiting her home on Sunday as he sported a grey T-shirt, jeans and suede brown boots topped with a trucker hat. John smiled as he headed to the property in Brentwood in photos seen by the Daily Mail.

Earlier in the day, Jennifer headed to work on her Apple TV+ series, The Last Thing He Told Me. She was spotted filming with a stuntman as she sat behind the wheel with a male co-star beside her. The former couple sparked rumours of a romance after Ben and second wife, Jennifer Lopez, called quits on their marriage last year.

Garner was reportedly acting as a ‘marriage counsellor’ to her ex-husband, with the pair also said to have spent Thanksgiving and Christmas together last year. Following his split with J-Lo, Ben moved out of their palatial pad in Beverly Hills and into a rental in Brentwood, where his first wife – who lives just two blocks away – reportedly regularly visited hiCommenting on the footage in theDaily Mail, a source told the publication: “It became very clear to Ben after he reunited with J-Lo that she was not ‘the one who got away’. She was also not the love of his life. Jen [Garner] was. Jen was there for him through his split and she will always be there for him. They are best friends, and they share children together.”

However, confirming the former couple were not together, they continued: “Ben is not Jen’s boyfriend, nor is he her husband anymore. John [Miller] is her partner, and she is happy in her relationship. Ben’s friends truly believe that if Jen and John split, that he would get back together with her in a heartbeat. But that is not the case, and Ben respects her relationship with John.”

Adding that Ben’s display of affection with Jennifer was ‘nothing new’, they explained the pair have a “unique relationship”. Ben is said to love Jennifer “more than any woman he has ever loved besides his mom”. They claimed he has accepted they cannot be together but “will always flirt” with Jennifer.
