Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck were once one of Hollywood’s most beloved couples, known for their seemingly happy decade-long marriage.

Their relationship, often seen as a model of Hollywood romance, ended in separation in 2015 and a finalized divorce in 2018.

In the years since, both have moved on, though the public continues to compare their past to Garner’s current relationship with businessman John Miller.

With Affleck’s high-profile relationships, including his recent split from Jennifer Lopez, the scrutiny on Garner’s personal life has only intensified.

Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck
Garner and Affleck’s story began in 2004 when the two started dating, and by June 2005, they were married in a private ceremony in the Caribbean.

Over the course of their marriage, they welcomed three children: Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel. To the public, the couple appeared to have a strong family foundation, but behind the scenes, problems were brewing.

In 2015, a day after their tenth wedding anniversary, they announced their separation, emphasizing in a statement their mutual respect and commitment to co-parenting their children, People detailed at the time.

While the two remained committed to their family, Affleck’s personal struggles with alcoholism became increasingly public. He first sought treatment for his addiction in 2001, but his battle with alcohol worsened in the later years of their marriage. Garner was supportive throughout, even staging an intervention in 2018.

Their divorce was finalized that October in a private meeting at Garner’s home, and despite the end of their marriage, they remained closely connected, especially for the sake of their children.

During a 2020 interview with the New York Times, Affleck reflected on the divorce, calling it the “biggest regret” of his life and admitting that his drinking had contributed to the breakdown of their relationship.

Jennifer Garner and John Miller
Following her divorce from Affleck, Garner began dating John Miller, the CEO of a tech company. Their relationship, which began shortly after her split from Affleck, marked Garner’s first serious romance in years.

Miller brought a sense of stability to Garner’s life, a contrast to the turbulence of her previous marriage. However, their relationship hasn’t been without challenges. The couple briefly broke up in 2021 but reconciled, and by February 2023, sources confirmed that they had been back together for over a year.
