Jennifer Garner’s Partner Was Reportedly Against Child Support While She Puts Kids First — 3 Times We Saw the Couple

• Jennifer Garner and John Miller started dating after her divorce from Ben Affleck.
• Garner and Miller are reportedly in a healthy and happy relationship, and the actress feels comfortable in it.
• Miller was previously married and got into a custody dispute with his ex-wife during the processing of their divorce.

Jennifer Garner is dating John Miller. The businessman is the CEO and Chairman of the holding company CaliGroup. The couple started casually dating after Garner and her ex-husband Ben Affleck divorced in 2017.

Garner and Affleck announced that they were ending their 10-year marriage in June 2015, and they processed their divorce on April 2017. Miller, who was also previously married to celebrity violinist Caroline Campbell, finalized his divorce in 2018.

For a long time, Garner and Miller have avoided being photographed together. But on rare occasions, the couple was captured in photographs on errands and dates.

Once, Garner and Miller stepped out for a couple's night. This date was the pair's first public appearance since they started seeing each other. The two watched the musical "Dear Evan Hansen" at the Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles.

Garner and Miller arrived in a limo but exited it separately to avoid being photographed together. After the show ended, Miller left the event a few minutes before Garner and then waited in the limo for the actress.

Garner has three kids with her ex-husband, Affleck, while Miller has two kids with his ex-wife, Campbell. The actress is a mom to Violet Anne, 17, Seraphine Rose, 13, and Samuel, 11. Miller is a dad to Violet and Quest. Garner reportedly took her time before she introduced Miller to her kids.

How Has Jennifer Garner and John Miller's Relationship Progressed?

On October 2018, news reports claimed Garner had been seeing Miller for six months. According to a source, their relationship was casual and easy. The source said Garner was bringing out the best parts of Miller and that the businessman was probably the happiest he had ever been.

After being in a lovely and healthy relationship for less than two years, the duo reportedly parted ways. An insider said Garner and Miller parted amicably because the businessman was ready to get married while the actress wasn't up for it.

After nine months apart, the couple was said to have reunited and decided to give their love another chance. Since the two were taking things slow, they hadn't introduced their kids to each other. However, they intended to incorporate their children into their relationship more.

Miller wanted a 50/50 arrangement for their two kids, but Campbell found his request ridiculous. She said Miller only wanted the children half the time to avoid paying child support.

One month after the two reunited, a source claimed that they were ready to take their relationship to the next level. The source said an engagement could be on the horizon because the duo was totally set on a long-term future together.

As much as the engagement is yet to be seen, the couple hit a major milestone in their relationship when Miller's kids met Garner's kids on April 16, 2022. The actress, who said she would always prioritize her kids, was celebrating her 50th birthday at the time and Miller's kids were invited to the event, which included a food drive.

A source said those aside from Miller's kids, his parents, his brother, and his brother's wife were also invited. In June 2023, another insider revealed that Garner had finally let her guard down and was showing public affection to Miller.

Miller and Garner's connection had grown deeper. The source noted that the couple were now more "comfortable and secure" in each other's company. The actress was even proud to show Miller off in public.

On June 15, 2023, Miller and Garner were spotted on a rare outing going for a coffee date. The couple smiled at each other after grabbing a cup of coffee together. Afterward, the actress was seen wrapping her arms around Miller's neck and pulling him close for a hug.

After the hug, the two continued chatting beside Miller's car. As Garner was walking away, the pair's joy was evident as they erupted into laughter.

The 45-year-old, who seems smitten with the actress, also supports her in her career. During the premiere of "The Last Thing He Told Me," Miller reportedly snuck into the Regency Village Theater in Los Angeles to be by the actress's side during the showing. The couple avoided walking the red carpet together.

Recently, on August 14, 2023, Miller and Garner were spotted out for a morning jog in Brentwood, California. The two were keeping fit together in this rare outing. Garner and Miller were in matching dark athletic clothing and light-colored baseball caps during their morning run.

Garner confessed that her divorce from Affleck hurt her so much because she cared a lot about her family. Miller also went through a challenging time with his ex-wife during their divorce process.

How Was Miller's Divorce Process?

Miller had a tumultuous divorce as his ex-wife Campbell claimed the businessman had anger and control issues. The two were tied up in a custody dispute where Campbell said she often went along with Miller's wishes rather than risk his anger.

Campbell and Miller got married in 2005, and they have two children together. Miller first filed for divorce in 2011, but the couple reconciled in 2012. However, in 2014, they split for good. During the processing of their divorce, Campbell and Miller had custody issues.

Miller wanted a 50/50 arrangement for their two kids, but Campbell found his request ridiculous. She said Miller only wanted the children half the time to avoid paying child support. Campbell added that Miller rarely took care of the kids.

Miller's wish was fulfilled, and the two got shared custody of their kids. However, in 2016, Campbell filed for full custody and claimed she only agreed to have shared custody because she feared Miller would direct his control and anger issues on her.

Campbell said Miller blamed her for ending their marriage and took it out on her by frustrating their divorce and custody process. She said the businessman could even resort to destroying her reputation just to have what he wanted.

Eventually, Campbell and Miller's divorce was finalized in November 2018. Campbell wrote in a now-deleted Instagram post that she found out on the internet that she was officially divorced.

Court documents showed that Miller and Campbell had agreed to share custody, but as much as the businessman would be paying for child support, he would not be giving his ex-wife spousal support.

Now, Miller has moved on with Garner, and the two are looking forward to a long-term relationship, having introduced their kids to each other. On rare occasions when the duo is spotted together, they look so happy in each other's company.
