Rumors of Jennifer Garner<\/strong><\/a> and Ben Affleck<\/strong><\/a> rekindling their romance have been swirling for weeks, but a source exclusively tells Life & Style<\/em> that the 13 Going on 30<\/em> actress is doing her best to reassure her boyfriend, John Miller<\/strong><\/a>, that there\u2019s nothing to worry about.<\/p>\n \u201cJen did feel badly about it and totally understood his reaction, but she reassured him that it was nothing,\u201d the insider reveals after Ben, 52, and Jen\u2019s reunion. \u201cOf course he believed her, and no, he didn\u2019t give Jen an ultimatum or tell her how to interact with her ex.\u201d<\/p>\n The source continues, \u201cJohn\u2019s got an ex too, he knows how these things can get misconstrued. It\u2019s the price you pay for dating a movie star. Bottom line, John and Jen are just fine. They\u2019re together and happy.\u201d<\/p>\n Jen, 52, and Ben were spotted together at their son Samuel Affleck\u2019s 13th birthday party on March 2, and it didn\u2019t take long before whispers began once again about the couple possibly reuniting. The Juno<\/em> star and Ben enjoyed a day of playing paintball with the family, but one photo featured the Good Will Hunting<\/em> actor with his hands resting on Jen\u2019s hips as she lined up a target.<\/p>\n This hasn\u2019t been the first time the two have sparked rumors of getting back together, and Ben\u2019s divorce from ex-wife Jennifer Lopez<\/strong>, which was finalized in January, put those whispers into overdrive. However, a source previously told Life & Style<\/em><\/a> that John isn\u2019t worried at all.<\/p>\n \u201cJohn has shown incredible patience and that has really endeared him to Jennifer,\u201d the insider said in September 2024. \u201cPrivately, he has been known to find it a little bit intimidating that she\u2019s still so close to Ben, especially when he\u2019s reminded about their red-hot connection back in the day. Her comment about the camera crew needing a wide lens for Ben\u2019s naked shower scene in Gone Girl<\/em> has come back to haunt Jen because it really bugs John to know that.\u201d<\/p>\n The source continued, \u201cBut he doesn\u2019t dwell on it, he understands she had a past before him and that there is still a place for Ben in her life. He\u2019s very clear he\u2019s not looking to force Ben out of Jen\u2019s life, but the 24\/7 nature of their relationship is just becoming way too much. Jen has assured John and everyone else that she\u2019s still all in, but you can\u2019t blame the guy for wanting some actions to back up her words.\u201d<\/p>\n Jen and John first began dating in 2018<\/a>, and the couple didn\u2019t rush into anything. Instead, they took things slow and they dated for six months before it was confirmed they were together.<\/p>\n \u201cJen brings out the best in John, and he is the happiest he has probably ever been,\u201d a source told Us Weekly<\/em><\/a> in October 2018. \u201cIt\u2019s a loving, healthy relationship.\u201d<\/p>\n Two years after they began dating, their relationship hit a rough patch, and the pair split shortly after Los Angeles went into lockdowns due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The breakup didn\u2019t last and by May 2021, they were back together.<\/p>\n In February 2025, a source spilled to Life & Style<\/em> that The Kingdom<\/em> star and John \u201cconsidered themselves informally engaged<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
