The marriage between Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck ended back in 2015. After that, the Argo actor and director went on to marry — and later divorce — Jennifer Lopez. Now, as Garner is reportedly planning to tie the knot with John Miller, it seems Affleck isn’t taking the news all that well.
The question making the rounds in tabloids and dinner conversations is inevitable: why, after so many years and new relationships, does Garner’s private life still affect the star of Argo so deeply?
For a decade, Affleck and Garner’s relationship was considered one of Hollywood’s most solid. Between movie premieres, red carpets, and a low-key family life, the couple built a story that gave them three children: Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel. Even after they separated in 2015 and finalized their divorce in 2018, they remained an example of civility and respectful co-parenting.
Life Goes On…
Today, Garner seems to have a clear path ahead: stability with John Miller and the possibility of making their relationship official with an engagement. For months, people have been talking about the great chemistry between them and how naturally Miller has fit into the actress’s family life.
In contrast, Affleck — still under the spotlight after his failed marriage to Jennifer Lopez — is said to have taken the news with mixed feelings. Sources close to him claim that the actor still sees Garner as “the love of his life” and that, quietly, he held on to the hope of a reconciliation that never completely faded.
It’s not the first time Affleck has opened up about their divorce as one of his biggest regrets. In past interviews, he’s described Garner as “an exemplary mother” and admitted that their split was a wound that has been very difficult to heal.
The rumored engagement plans with Miller seem to put a definitive end to any hope of reconciliation. For Affleck, that realization carries a bittersweet taste — one that feels more like nostalgia than rivalry.
It’s a noticeable contrast with Lopez. When he learned that the actress already had a new partner, Affleck simply wished him luck, adding that being with Lopez “isn’t easy…”
