Jennifer Garner and John Miller, her partner of six years, were spotted recently enjoying a relaxed stroll in Santa Monica, California. The couple, who have kept their relationship largely private, seemed at ease, sharing laughs and casual conversation, both dressed down in comfortable attire. According to sources, Jennifer and John are deeply in love and have reached a point in their relationship where they feel comfortable showing that affection publicly. The two are reportedly set to tie the knot after a long, quiet engagement, marking a new chapter for Jennifer.
After two previous marriages, Jennifer has found happiness again. The 13 Going on 30 star, now 52, shares three children with her ex-husband, Ben Affleck, with whom she successfully co-parents. According to insiders, Jennifer feels an unmatched connection with John, whom she describes to friends as her “other half.”
Jennifer, who had been private about her romantic life, wasn’t sure if she wanted to remarry after her second marriage. However, that changed when John, a successful businessman and CEO of CaliGroup, proposed. Jennifer was reportedly surprised and moved by his romantic gesture and has been wearing the ring discreetly, revealing it only occasionally.
Details about their wedding suggest a simple, intimate celebration, possibly held in Malibu at one of John’s properties. An insider shares that neither Ben Affleck nor Jennifer Lopez, Ben’s current wife, are expected to attend, as Jennifer and John prefer a private, low-key event. “They want the day to be special, without unnecessary attention,” the source says.
Over the years, Jennifer has been open about her ideal qualities in a partner, describing herself as “old-fashioned.” John, who enjoys showering her with thoughtful gestures, has brought a calm and steady presence to her life following her more publicized marriage with Ben. John, who shares two teenage children with his former partner Caroline Campbell, aligns well with Jennifer’s values, particularly in his commitment to family and his practical approach to life.
The couple has navigated the complexities of a blended family, maintaining a respectful relationship with their ex-partners. Jennifer and John’s families often celebrate small moments together, blending their lives naturally while keeping a level of privacy. Their outings may be understated — simple family gatherings or discreet meetups — but their relationship is anything but. According to sources, Jennifer feels ready to embrace this next chapter with John, though she is wise enough to request a prenuptial agreement, a decision John supports.
After years of putting her family’s needs first, Jennifer is finally in a place where she can prioritize her own happiness. “John is a thoughtful, kind person who truly cherishes Jennifer,” says a source close to the couple. “She deserves this happiness, and John is the perfect person to share it with.”
