Jennifer Garner shared a rare PDA moment with boyfriend John C. Miller during a recent outing.
Garner, 53, and Miller, 47, shared passionate kisses outside of Miller’s Los Angeles home on Friday, June 6, according to photos obtained by TMZ. The couple could be seen snuggling as a flannel-clad Garner slipped her hand in the back pocket of Miller’s pants.
Garner has been dating Miller— who is the chairman of investment firm Cali Group and CEO of portfolio company PopID — on and off since 2018. A source close to the couple exclusively told Us Weekly in April that Miller was “basically living with Jennifer part-time.”
“He has an office in L.A., and splits his time between staying there and at Jennifer’s home,” the insider told Us. “But he’s been staying with Jennifer more often [and] doesn’t want to impose, so he’s looking for his own place… [and] deciding whether he’ll rent or buy.”
Miller shares two children — Quest, 18, and Violet, 15 — with ex-wife Caroline Campbell. Garner, meanwhile, shares three children with ex-husband Ben Affleck: Violet, 19, Fin, 16, and Samuel, 13.
Garner has maintained a close coparenting relationship with Affleck since their 2018 divorce. Affleck recently referred to Garner as a “good coparent and partner” while discussing what his life has been like since splitting with second wife Jennifer Lopez.
“We used to have a thing, my ex-wife [Garner] and I, when [the kids] would see something on a supermarket stand, we would say, well, ‘You know this isn’t always true because if it were, you would have 15 brothers or sisters or whatever the number of stories is where they said that your mom was pregnant,’” Affleck told GQ.
He went on, “I’m really lucky that I have a really good coparent and partner in Jennifer Garner, the kids’ mom, who’s wonderful and great and we work together well.”
Despite Affleck and Garner’s close coparenting relationship, a source close to the former couple told Us in March that they had no interest in getting back together.
“Their relationship has deepened since [Ben’s] divorce, but there is nothing romantic between them,” the source explained to Us. “There’s just a real trust and familiarity there… which makes it easier to coparent. They are family for life.”
A second source insisted to Us that Miller “doesn’t get jealous” of Affleck and Garner spending time together because he knows they are simply putting their children first.
“[Miller] understands Jennifer prioritizing her kids,” the source said. “[John] sleeps over at her home often. The way he talks about her is the same. There are no whispers of a status change in their relationship.”
Garner’s daughter, Violet, offered some insight into her family dynamic for an essay in Yale University’s student-run’s Yale Global Health Review in May. Violet wrote about spending a month in “Los Angeles arguing with [her] mother in a hotel room” when their community was threatened by the Pacific Palisades wildfires.
“She was shell-shocked, astonished at the scale of destruction in the neighborhood where she raised myself and my siblings,” Violet wrote of her mother. “I was surprised at her surprise: as a lifelong Angelena and climate-literate member of generation Z, my question had not been whether the Palisades would burn but when.”
Violet has attended Yale University’s Davenport College since 2024.
