Jennifer Garner’s Boyfriend Reportedly ‘Enraged’ by Her & Ben Affleck ‘Potentially Playing Romantic Partners’ in a New Movie—He’s ‘Uncomfortable’

Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck have been divorced for nearly a decade. The two have moved on, but when you share kids, you’re always going to be in each other’s lives. And it seems that closeness is reportedly becoming a problem for Garner’s new partner.

RadarOnline is reporting that Affleck’s recent comments about wanting to work with Garner—despite the fact that he abandoned plans to cast her as his wife in his new Netflix movie Animals—are not sitting well with her boyfriend, businessman John Miller. Garner and Miller have been dating on and off since 2018.

A source told the outlet, “John has always understood that Ben will be part of Jennifer’s life because they have three children together. But there’s a considerable difference between accepting that arrangement and watching Ben publicly discuss how much he wants to work with her again, and it is enraging him.”

“The idea of them spending months together on a film set, potentially playing romantic partners, is something John could understandably find uncomfortable. He has worked hard to build a relationship with Jennifer outside the enormous shadow of her marriage to Ben, and another high-profile collaboration would inevitably put that history back in the spotlight,” the source added.

As of now, there are no plans for the exes to star in a new movie together. Affleck simply said he wanted to find something to work on with her; he didn’t even specifiy if they would portray lovers in a potential future project.

“But Ben doesn’t necessarily see why working with Jennifer should be controversial. He respects her enormously as an actress, they have an established professional history, and their friendship has survived everything that happened during their marriage,” the insider continued. “From his perspective, there’s no reason they shouldn’t make another movie together. But what might seem like a straightforward creative decision to Ben could look rather different to the man currently sharing Jennifer’s life.”
