Jennifer Garner is not rekindling a romance with her ex-husband Ben Affleck, despite recent speculation surrounding their growing closeness. The actress, 52, remains committed to her relationship with businessman John Miller, according to sources.

An insider confirmed to Us Weekly that Garner, who has been spending time with Affleck following his split from Jennifer Lopez, has no plans for a romantic “round two” with her ex-husband. “Everything is fine with John and Jen,” the source said, dismissing claims that Miller is unhappy about Garner’s ongoing connection with Affleck. “Those close to them haven’t heard of any issues.”

The statement comes after Page Six reported that Miller “isn’t thrilled” with how close Garner and Affleck have become in recent months. According to the source, Miller “knows Ben and Jen have been leaning on each other more than ever lately and have a really close relationship.”

While their bond remains strong, the insider noted that Affleck’s continued presence during major family events has made things difficult for Miller. “Their growing bond is getting to be a bit much when Ben spends all the holidays with them like Christmas and Thanksgiving,” the insider revealed. “John feels like a third wheel.”

Garner and Affleck, who share three children—Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel—have remained amicable co-parents since their divorce in 2018. Their continued family connection, however, has fueled rumors that their relationship may extend beyond just parenting.

Despite this, sources close to the couple insist that Garner’s relationship with Miller is strong and that her bond with Affleck is strictly platonic. Garner and Miller have been dating on and off since 2018, though they maintain a relatively private relationship.

Meanwhile, Affleck has been dealing with the fallout of his highly publicized separation from Lopez, leading many to speculate that he has been leaning on his ex-wife for support. While Miller reportedly finds Affleck’s constant presence challenging, insiders say Garner remains committed to balancing her personal life and co-parenting responsibilities.

As speculation continues to swirl, those close to the situation emphasize that Garner and Affleck’s relationship is rooted in family, while her romance with Miller remains intact.
