Jennifer Garner is a popular actress renowned for her numerous classic performances. The film and television actress is down-to-earth and recognized for being a total darling.
After her divorce in 2018, many people have wondered if the actress has been dating anyone or if she is enjoying her time alone.
Jennifer Garner was born April 17, 1972, in Houston, Texas, to Patricia Ann and William John ‘Bill’ Garner. Garner’s father was a chemical engineer, while his mother was an English teacher. She’s got two sisters.
Garner began taking ballet lessons at the age of three, which he continued for many years. However, she realized she didn’t want to be a dancer.
A conservative family reared Garner, who attended church every Sunday. After graduating from ‘George Washington High School,’ she attended ‘Denison University.’
She also studied at ‘The National Theater Institute’ and ‘The Eugene O’Neill Theater Center.’ She earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Theater Performance in 1994.
She began her acting career, but her first major part came in 2000, when she performed a supporting role in ‘Pearl Harbor.’ But her career took off in 2001, when J.J. Abrams persuaded Garner to portray ‘Sydney Bristow’ in his espionage drama series ‘Alias.’ The program was a smash, propelling Garner into the mainstream.
In 2003, she co-starred with Ben Affleck as ‘Elektra Natchios’ in the film “Daredevil.” Her actual Hollywood movie-star triumph came with her film ’13 Going on 30′ in 2004, which solidified her place as a Hollywood A-lister.
Her career life blossomed, but her personal life was a little rough. Garner and fellow actor Scott Foley married in 2000. On the set of the TV series “Felicity,” she met him. However, the couple split after barely three years, alleging irreconcilable differences.
A year following her divorce, Garner began dating her “Daredevil” co-star, Ben Affleck. At the time “Daredevil” was filming, Affleck was dating singer Jennifer Lopez, while Garner was married to Scott Foley.
In subsequent years, Affleck would discuss how he met Garner in ‘Pearl Harbour, but the couple fell in love while working together on “Daredevil.”
In 2005, Affleck and Garner married in a private ceremony in the Caribbean. The couple’s marriage lasted over a decade and produced three children: Violet Anne Affleck, Seraphina Rose Elizabeth Affleck, and Samuel Garner Affleck.
When Garner was interviewed by InStyle magazine in 2014, she made the first public admission that their marriage was not perfect. The actress added that the couple’s marriage was no longer in the “courtship” stage but rather in a more “mindful” phase, and that she was comfortable with this shift.
“You can’t expect constant courtship, and I don’t have the energy to court him right now,” the actress said. But we’re absolutely in a mindful state where we’re making an effort to be together, do things at the same time, and be loving,” the actress explained.
The pair announced their split in 2015. In 2017, they initiated formal legal procedures to request shared physical custody of their children, and they finalized their divorce in 2018.
There were accusations that Ben had cheated on Jennifer Garner with the children’s babysitter, Christine Ouzounian, but Affleck’s agents strenuously refuted the allegations.
Following the couple’s breakup, Affleck found himself in deep water again for comments he made on Howard Stern’s program. On Jimmy Kimmel Live, the actor clarified that he never felt “trapped” in his marriage, nor did he blame Garner for his drinking issue. He stated, “I would never want my children to believe that I would ever speak negatively about their mother.” “It hurts my feelings, man.”
Following the couple’s high-profile divorce, Ben Affleck frequently found himself in hot water and making headlines. In terms of personal life news, Garner has stayed relatively unknown.
Affleck revived his decades-long affair with Jennifer Lopez and married the singer last year.
When word of their high-profile marriage surfaced, many began to wonder about Garner’s love life, including whether she was single and how she was coping with her ex-husband’s marriage.
However, Garner is not single and has not been for some time. Some publications claim that the actress dated John Miller for approximately six months prior to the formalization of her divorce.
Garner and Miller have never officially confirmed their relationship, but they have been seen together around town. The couple’s first public appearance together was at the musical “Dear Evan Hansen” in Los Angeles.
Their relationship is extremely discreet, and their second excursion occurred months later in a Santa Monica restaurant in February 2019. They supposedly split up after this period. However, the couple reportedly resumed their love in May 2021, following a photo shoot in New York City in August of the same year.
John Miller is a businessman who serves as CEO of CaliBurger and its parent firm, CaliGroup. He formerly worked at Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals from 2004 to 2010 and is a skilled attorney.
When the pair broke up briefly in 2020, it was claimed that it was due to Miller’s readiness for marriage and Garner’s phobia of commitment.
According to a source, “He was ready for marriage, and she just couldn’t commit.”
“Jen’s friends are relieved she has found a nice guy who treats her well,” a source said. “They trust her judgment, and John is certainly a steady and positive influence in her life.”
According to another source, John was kind but not pushy during their courtship. He gives Jen space when she needs it, but he is there for her when things get tough or she wants to do something spontaneous. “One of their favorite activities is going on getaways together.”
Miller had previously been married to violinist Caroline Campbell. He married the musician in 2005, but the couple split in 2014 and divorced in 2018, around the time Miller began dating Garner. They have two children together.
Jennifer Garner appears to be comfortable with her life as it is, and she no longer shares any personal information with the public.
