Does Jennifer Garner Have a Boyfriend? We Investigate

Jennifer Garner’s love life has us asking a lot of questions at the moment. In the last few years, the 50-year-old actress parted ways with her longtime beau, John Miller. Then, Garner was spotted on the beach with fellow actor Bradley Cooper. And now, she was recently seen with Miller again. (We know, it’s tough to keep up.)

If you recall, the Alias actress confirmed in 2021 that she was single, but earlier this year, she was seen holding hands with Miller in Santa Barbara. So, have the on-and-off couple reconciled? Here’s everything we know about Jennifer Garner's boyfriend.

1. Does Jennifer Garner Have a Boyfriend?

Well, it appears that her boyfriend is once again John Miller. Miller is the CEO and chairman of CaliGroup, a holdings company that is widely known for its restaurant chain, CaliBurger. He also received a degree from Stanford Law School and co-authored The Handbook of Nanotechnology Business, Policy, and Intellectual Property Law.

In February 2023, a source revealed to People that Garner and Miller rekindled their relationship a year ago, shortly after their breakup. The insider said, "They have a very special relationship. It's never been the easiest one though, since they both have families. They took a long break from dating, but Jen is very happy that they are back together."

2. When Did They Start Dating?

Garner ventured into the dating world after she split from her ex-husband, Ben Affleck. The actress started dating Miller in May 2018, and the rest is history.

3. Did Jen Meet the Parents?

Yes. In fact, Jennifer hosted a dinner party at her house and invited John’s family, who had yet to meet the Alias star. “John’s parents had dinner at Jen’s house recently and met her for the first time. It’s getting more serious,” a source told Radar Online.

4. Do They Have Any Children?

While they don’t share any children together, Garner and Miller both have kids from previous marriages.

Garner and Affleck share Violet (17), Seraphina (14) and Sam (11). Miller and his ex-wife, Caroline Campbell, have a son named Quest (17) and a daughter named Violet (15).

5. Did They Ever Break Up?

Back in 2020, InTouch Weekly broke the news that Garner and Miller called it quits, although neither confirmed the news.

“They split up before L.A. went into lockdown,” a source told the outlet. “Jen and John remain on friendly terms, so there's a possibility that they could rekindle their relationship in the future, but right now, it's over.”

6. Did Garner Ever Date Bradley Cooper?

All signs point to the pair being just friends.

In fact, they previously starred together on ABC’s hit show, Alias, and have remained close pals ever since. Not to mention, during a speech at the American Cinematheque Awards in 2018, the actress claimed that she was one of Cooper’s “first friends” in the industry.

But hey, anything can happen right?
