Rumors about Jennifer Garner’s relationship status with longtime partner, John Miller, are swirling once again after she was spotted in Los Angeles, California, with a unique gold and turquoise ring on her finger.
The 52-year-old actress was seen on October 26, 2024, sporting the conspicuous ring on her left hand while driving. This sighting has brought renewed interest to her five-year relationship with the CaliBurger CEO, John Miller.
According to a source close to the pair, they prefer to keep their relationship out of the public eye and often escape Los Angeles for weekend getaways. Their relationship started in October 2018 and has seen several stages, including a brief split in August 2020, followed by a reunion in May 2021.
Insiders suggest that the couple could be planning a European wedding. Garner and Miller have allegedly visited Europe more frequently than is commonly known. Miller is said to be fully supportive of the idea of an extravagant celebration in Paris.
Garner ended her 13-year marriage to Ben Affleck in 2018. Despite their divorce, they have maintained a good relationship and co-parent their three children: Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12. The divorce was notably friendly, with both parties representing themselves without legal counsel and opting for mediation to reach a private settlement agreement.
A source highlighted the special bond between Garner and Miller, pointing out that their relationship has grown stronger since reuniting in 2021. Miller, who has two children from his previous marriage to Caroline Campbell, including a 16-year-old daughter also named Violet, shares Garner’s dedication to family.
Garner and Miller’s relationship began the same year she finalized her divorce from Affleck. Miller was also coming out of a marriage, having separated from Campbell in June 2011. He briefly reconciled with Campbell in February 2012 before filing for divorce in October 2014.
By January 2023, sources indicated Garner did not wish to slow down the relationship or spend less time with Miller. Throughout 2022 and 2023, the couple has managed to maintain their privacy while occasionally displaying their affection in public.
This is not the first time Garner’s choice of jewelry has led to engagement speculation. In November 2021, she donned a different gold ring during an Instagram Live appearance, causing similar conjecture. Her representatives have consistently refrained from commenting on the rumors.
Garner’s recent appearances in Paris have added fuel to the speculation about wedding plans, with reports suggesting she has been scouting venues and perusing dresses. A lavish Parisian wedding would be a stark contrast to her previous low-key elopement with Affleck in 2005.
