John Miller has shown remarkable patience regarding Jennifer Garner’s ongoing relationship with her ex-husband, Ben Affleck, who has been spending a significant amount of time at her home. According to a source who spoke to Life & Style magazine, “John has shown incredible patience, and that’s really endeared him to Jennifer.”
Affleck, who shares three children with Garner, has been regularly visiting her home, with a key to come and go as he pleases. “Ben’s been spending a ton of time at [Garner’s] place, coming over for dinners and hanging with the kids,” an insider revealed. This dynamic has been beneficial for Affleck, with the source noting, “It’s great for Ben’s state of mind, and the kids love having him around.”
While Miller has made it clear that he doesn’t want to interfere with Garner and Affleck’s co-parenting relationship, the increasing frequency of Affleck’s visits is starting to weigh on him. “John is very clear he’s not looking to force Ben out of Jen’s life, but the 24/7 nature of their relationship is just becoming way too much,” the insider explained.
Miller has also grown concerned about how Affleck’s presence may be affecting his relationship with Garner. “Whenever they’re together, Ben’s blowing her up with random questions. And now they’re doing this movie together, it’s really got him questioning where he stands,” the source added. Garner and Affleck are currently working together on the upcoming movie Animals, which has sparked further questions for Miller.
OK! reported Despite the tension, the source emphasized that Garner has reassured Miller and others that she is fully committed to her relationship with him. “Jen has assured John and everyone else that she’s still all in, but you can’t blame the guy for wanting some actions to back up her words,” the insider said.
Affleck has leaned on Garner for support following his recent split from Jennifer Lopez, who filed for divorce on August 20. As Garner balances her roles as a co-parent and partner, it remains to be seen how this complex dynamic will evolve.
