Is there trouble in paradise for Jennifer Garner and John Miller? Her friends seem to think so after the couple weathered a tumultuous year surrounding Ben Affleck‘s marital drama with Jennifer Lopez. They are reportedly concerned that their differences — she’s Type A and he’s low-key — might be hard to overcome.
The rumors about their possible relationship issues started after Garner was spotted with Affleck on Thanksgiving Day with their three children, Violet, 19, Fin, 15, and Samuel, 12. While no one seems to think the former couple is rekindling their romance, Miller has shown his “loyalty” to the Alias star while she supported her ex through his split, according to
“Privately, [John] has been known to find it a little bit intimidating that she’s still so close to Ben, especially when he’s reminded about their red-hot connection back in the day,” a source told the media outlet while praising the tech executive’s “patience.” Another insider shared that the reason Garner adores Miller is because “he is pretty much the opposite of Ben Affleck.” They added, “[Miller is] a relaxed guy with nothing to prove, not a giant ball of stress with a chip on his shoulder like Ben can be on his worst days.”
Garner appeared on the Nov. 12 episode of Molly Sims’ Lipstick on the Rim podcast, and it seems like she is also confirming that an Affleck reconciliation is not in the cards. She shared her mother’s best advice, “Never expect a man — don’t marry a man thinking you can change him.” Those words of wisdom feel like they are pointing straight at Affleck, who has worked hard for his sobriety journey, but his alcoholism also impacted his marriage to Garner.
It’s unclear what the rocky year means for Garner and Miller because there have been wedding rumors about a Paris wedding, according to In Touch Weekly. There was also a sparkly ring spotted on that finger in late October which fueled the gossip even more. Still, the 52-year-old actress isn’t one to confirm stories about her love life — she would much rather keep her romance off the paparazzi radar.
