Jennifer Garner spotted with on-again beau John Miller in New York after quietly rekindling romance… amid her ex Ben Affleck’s VERY flashy reunion with Jennifer Lopez
Jennifer Garner was rumored to have quietly rekindled her romance with Cali Group chairman John Miller in May, and the coy couple were spotted together for the first time in Manhattan on Sunday.
The 48-year-old mother-of-three began dating the 43-year-old attorney-turned-CEO in May 2018 before supposedly ending their relationship ‘before LA went into lockdown’ in March 2020.
Jennifer made sure to mask up before entering the building just ahead of John due to the fast-spreading coronavirus delta variant.

Garner’s arm could be seen holding the door open for Miller, who was not wearing a face mask.
And while the Yes Day producer-star’s ex-husband #2 Ben Affleck has been packing on the PDA with his ex-fiancé Jennifer Lopez everywhere, she is clearly taking a more low-key approach.
For her day in the Big Apple, Jennifer dressed down in a b&w-patterned sweater, her signature blue skinny jeans, and black sandals.
Garner was beaming while wearing glasses over her make-up free complexion.

On Wednesday, John’s 14-year-old son Quest donned a necktie to attend his ninth grade orientation at Loyola High School.
Miller is also father to 13-year-old daughter Violet from his six-year marriage to Caroline Campbell, whom he divorced in 2019 after an eight-year legal separation.
Earlier this month, the 41-year-old violinist married former professional runner Christopher Estwanik in Bermuda.
Meanwhile, the Texan-born, West Virginia-raised star has three children – Violet, 15; Samuel, 9; and Seraphina, 12 – from her decade-long marriage to the 49-year-old Oscar-winning filmmaker, which officially ended in 2018.
Affleck told to The New York Times in 2017 that the divorce was ‘the biggest regret of my life.’
Ben and Jennifer met while working on set of Pearl Harbor in 2000. They starred together in Daredevil two years later, but Ben was dating JLo and Jennifer was married to Scott Foley at the time.
Foley blamed their divorce in 2003 on Jennifer’s rising fame, saying: ‘Nobody else was involved. Jennifer became a huge celebrity. She became a huge star, and she deserved everything she got. There was no other relationship, there was no infidelity, nothing. People get divorced, you know?’

Lopez and Affleck called off their engagement in 2004, and Ben and Jennifer were spotted getting cozy at a World Series game months later, only to reveal they were engaged and then married in 2005.
Ten years later, Ben and Jen announced their intent to divorce as reports surfaced that he had an illicit affair with the family nanny, though Garner claimed in an interview with Vanity Fair that ‘she had nothing to with our decision to divorce. She was not a part of the equation.’
Speculation arose that the couple rekindled their romance after Affleck went to treatment for an alcohol addiction, but their divorce became official in 2018.
Ben has since reunited with Lopez after her engagement to Alex Rodriguez ended in May, and the couple has been spotted house hunting in Los Angeles for Jennifer to set up roots for her Miami-based twins, Max and Emme, 13.
Her kids, whom she shares with ex-husband Marc Anthony, are ‘onboard with starting fresh in Los Angeles,’ according to a People source.
‘They are slowly getting to know Ben. Everything seems to be running smoothly. It’s very obvious that Jennifer is serious about Ben. She hasn’t looked this happy for a long time,’ the insider noted.
On July 28, Jennifer signed a partnership with Netflix in which she’ll produce and star in projects include a sequel to Miguel Arteta’s dismally-reviewed family flick, Yes Day.
Garner will next reunite with her 13 Going on 30 leading man Mark Ruffalo in Shawn Levy’s time-traveling flick The Adam Project, which premieres next year on Netflix.
‘It was wonderful! We were playing a married couple and we just have this instant comfort,’ the Alias alum gushed on Good Morning America back on March 9.
‘Obviously, there’s just such a connection and a warmth. It was actually a really beautiful experience to revisit that relationship.’
The sci-fi action adventure also stars Ryan Reynolds, Walker Scobell, Zoe Saldana, and Catherine Keener.
