Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner may be as close as can be after his divorce from Jennifer Lopez, but that doesn’t mean they’re getting back together. Despite the incessant reconciliation rumors and hopes from fans, Garner is very much taken, and has been in a long-term relationship with businessman John Miller. Things have been going great with Garner and Miller (more or less, allegedly), and apparently, Affleck is extremely supportive of it all.
In case you missed it, insiders told InTouch Weekly that Affleck is quite supportive of his ex-wife’s low-key romance with Miller.
“Jen is still dating John and Ben is very supportive of that. Ben’s single and just taking life one day at a time,” an insider said to the outlet. “They’re far from perfect, but Jen and Ben are a great example of how coparenting should work.”
Another insider added, “[Ben] truly wants Jen to be happy. … It wasn’t always like that. It took Ben a long time to look at the situation differently. … Now, he says his kids and Jen are lucky to have John in their lives.”
For those who don’t know, Affleck and Garner met in 2000 while filming Pearl Harbour, while Affleck was engaged to Lopez and Garner was married to Scott Foley. Their romantic relationship didn’t begin until 2004, and then they married in Turks and Caicos in June 2005. They later welcomed three children: Violet Anne Affleck, 19, Seraphina Rose Elizabeth Affleck, 15, and Samuel Garner Affleck, 12.
The couple officially filed for divorce in 2017, and in 2018, they finalized their divorce.
Since then, Garner has been dating Miller.
