Jennifer Garner’s appearance in Los Angeles with a distinctive gold and turquoise ring has ignited speculation about her relationship status with longtime boyfriend John Miller.
The 52-year-old actress was photographed on October 26, 2024 wearing the eye-catching piece on her left hand while driving, drawing attention to her five-year relationship with the CaliBurger CEO.
“They like to date out of the spotlight and often leave L.A. for weekend trips,” a source close to the couple revealed, highlighting their privacy preference. The relationship began in October 2018 and has weathered several phases, including a brief separation in August 2020 before the couple reunited in May 2021.
According to sources, the couple may be organizing a wedding in Europe. Garner and Miller have reportedly visited Europe more frequently than is commonly known, with Miller fully supporting the idea of a lavish celebration in Paris.
The actress, who divorced Ben Affleck in 2018 after 13 years of marriage, has maintained a cordial relationship with her ex-husband, with whom she shares three children: Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12. Their divorce process was notably amicable, with both parties filing “in pro persona” – representing themselves without lawyers – and utilizing mediation to reach a private settlement agreement.
“They have a very special relationship,” a source noted of Garner and Miller’s connection, emphasizing how their bond has strengthened since their 2021 reconciliation. Miller, who has two children from his previous marriage to Caroline Campbell, including a 16-year-old daughter coincidentally named Violet, shares Garner’s commitment to family values.
The couple’s relationship began the same year Garner finalized her divorce from Affleck. Miller was also navigating the end of his marriage, having separated from Campbell in June 2011. He and his wife briefly reconciled in February 2012 before filing for divorce in October 2014.
By January 2023, sources indicated Garner had “no desire on her part to slow things down, spend less time together, or anything like that.” The couple has maintained their privacy while occasionally showing public affection throughout 2022 and 2023.
This isn’t the first time Garner’s jewelry choices have sparked engagement rumors. In November 2021, she wore a different gold ring during an Instagram Live appearance, leading to similar speculation. Her representatives have consistently declined to comment on rumors.
Recent sightings of Garner in Paris have fueled speculation about wedding preparations, with reports suggesting she has been exploring venues and looking at dresses. The potential Paris wedding would contrast with her previous marriage to Affleck, which began with an elopement in 2005.
