Jennifer Garner Spotted Kissing Her Boyfriend, Sparking Buzz

The actress's boyfriend showed his support as she lent her voice to a cause that holds personal meaning for her.

Jennifer Garner shared a kiss with boyfriend John Miller on Sunday, June 22, during the "67 Strong: Jen Garner's Final Mile 4 Kids" event in Santa Monica, California. Fans have reacted to the intimate moment with a mix of admiration, amusement, and skepticism.

The event, which Miller attended to cheer Garner on, marked the end of her 67-day commitment to run one mile each day in support of the #67Strong4Kids initiative. Garner and Miller shared a kiss after her run, a brief but affectionate moment that caught attention.

His presence added a personal touch to the finish line as she wrapped up a campaign that began on her 53rd birthday.

The initiative raises awareness about childhood hunger and highlights how a $67 donation can provide a six-week course of ready-to-use therapeutic food to help a severely malnourished child recover.

Fans took to social media after seeing Garner and her boyfriend, weighing in on both the affectionate moment and their relationship. One observer wasn't convinced by the moment, saying, "Looks a lil forced."

Another person offered a different take, "Actually she is pulling away." A third viewer took it a step further, analyzing, "What an awkward looking kiss. Looks like he's begging for her attention and she's like 'fiiine, [sic] let's get this over with!🙄.'"

Someone else speculated about Garner's happiness, "She does not look as happy than when she is with Ben if she loved this guy so much how comes thay don't live together [sic]."

For others, the public display felt overdone. One netizen wrote, "Ok we get it she moved on from Ben. Why do we always have to see them kissing? Who cares?🤷🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️😂." Still, not everyone was critical. One admirer kept it simple, saying, "Good for her."

Another fan complimented her partner, "He is so handsome. Glad they are both happy.❤️." And for some, the couple radiated joy, "Love still going strong! Jennifer & John are too cute together 🥹❤️."

While opinions varied, the couple’s public display added a personal highlight to an already meaningful day for Jennifer Garner. The actress often finds herself in the spotlight, even for the more playful moments — like a recent lighthearted video she shared featuring her cat, Moose.

In the short clip, Garner is seen twirling around playfully with Moose in her arms. With her phone held between her teeth, she captures a cat's-eye view of the dizzying moment. The footage, later edited, shows the same spin from Moose's perspective.

"Oh, I don't see him," Garner says mid-spin, her voice muffled. She shifts the angle and calls out, "Moose!" before adding, "He doesn't care," followed by a laugh.

However, not everyone laughed along. The video drew a wave of comments — some amused, others concerned. Some viewers took issue with how Garner held the cat while spinning.

"Cats don't like this… it's not funny, please stop," one user wrote. Another called the moment "So cruel," adding, "That poor cat... Seriously?" Others were gentler but still critical. "Please don't lift your cat off like that because it’s not healthy ❤️," a comment read.

The concern centered on animal well-being, with many suggesting that cats dislike being handled this way. Despite the backlash, Garner's video found plenty of supporters. Fans flooded the comment section with praise and laughing emojis. "This made my day! So funny!" one wrote.

Another shared, "Ahhh love this! Moose is adorable." A third chimed in, "OMG!! Just when I thought I couldn't love you more! ❤️" Others simply asked for more, "Moose content all day long, please."

Long before the recent spinning video stirred debate, the gray feline had already become a familiar face on the actress’s social media, charming followers with his unexpected adventures and comical mishaps.

In July 2024, Garner shared a quirky "house tour" video — guided by Moose himself. "Moose asked for a tour. 🤷🏻‍♀️," she joked in the caption. Holding the cat in her arms, casually dressed in a striped tee and khaki pants, Garner introduced him to "places he's never seen before."

Their first stop: the refrigerator. Moose peeked inside curiously. Then, with playful text overlays and a few food emojis, they headed to the microwave. The journey continued to the fish tank, where Moose gazed at the swimming fish, wide-eyed in her arms.

The tour ended on Garner's bed, where the cat’s paw got tangled in a blanket, a moment both comical and relatable for pet owners.

Just a few months earlier, in April 2024, Garner celebrated National Pet Day in true unscripted style — with a very messy Moose moment. "Something's gone awry," she began in a video, holding Moose while covering his ears. "Moose pooped his pants. We can't live like this. He's befouled!"

Garner proceeded to give him a bath, removing his collar and offering a disclaimer. "First of all, we have an obesity problem. So, please don't make fun." With the camera rolling, Garner gently scrubbed her cat while coaxing him. “Oooh, is that nice?” she asked. But the calm didn’t last. “It smells even more,” she said, wrinkling her nose.

After a few words about Moose’s gentle nature, things escalated. The cat, clearly done with bath time, leapt from the sink. In the struggle that followed, Moose scratched Garner on the neck. "I deserve it," she admitted, showing the scratch to the camera. "I don't blame him."

These are only a few of many instances where the actress has shared her life as a fur mom. Back in 2020, during a virtual appearance on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," Garner offered a glimpse into how her family coped with life under lockdown. Social distancing had taken its toll, and like many families, they searched for creative ways to stay active and entertained.

"One of my kids was not into going for walks and we just had to get out of the house," she explained to DeGeneres. When asked what might help, the child had a simple solution: take the cat. "And she said, 'I wanna take the cat,'" Garner recalled. So they did.

The family ordered a cat stroller. With a laugh, Garner shared how the unconventional idea became part of their routine. Inspired by Jessica Seinfeld, she embraced the new activity. “All of a sudden, now I have a cat and a cat stroller and I take it for walks. And it has a leash,” she told the host.
