In a twist of fate, Jennifer Garner was recently spotted enjoying a night out with her boyfriend, John Miller, just days after the announcement of her ex-husband Ben Affleck’s divorce from Jennifer Lopez.
This sighting has sparked interest as it seems Garner’s love life is flourishing, even as Affleck navigates the choppy waters of his separation.
On August 23, Garner and Miller were seen leaving a restaurant in Malibu, California, looking relaxed and happy.
Garner, 52, donned a chic gray jacket and pants, accessorized with a long necklace, while Miller complemented her style in a casual white and blue plaid shirt layered over a white T-shirt and jeans.
Their outing comes on the heels of Lopez filing for divorce from Affleck, marking a significant moment for both couples involved.
Garner and Affleck, who share three children—Violet, 18, Serafina, 15, and Samuel, 12—have maintained a cooperative co-parenting relationship since their split in 2015.
Despite the end of their 13-year marriage, the two have managed to keep things amicable for the sake of their kids, often seen together during family outings.
The timing of Garner’s dinner date is particularly noteworthy.
Just three days prior, Lopez filed for divorce from Affleck in Los Angeles, citing that the couple had separated back in April.
The news came as a surprise to many, especially after the couple had rekindled their romance in early 2021.
Interestingly, reports indicate that Affleck and Lopez did not have a prenuptial agreement, which could complicate matters as they divide their assets.
While neither star has publicly commented on the split, Lopez made a subtle return to social media shortly after the filing, sharing a nostalgic photo of herself in front of a Christmas tree, hinting at a reflective mood during this tumultuous time.
Adding to the drama, just hours before Lopez filed for divorce, Affleck returned to Los Angeles after dropping off his daughter Violet at college, showcasing the whirlwind of events surrounding their separation.
It’s clear that while Affleck faces challenges, Garner seems to be moving forward in her personal life.
Garner and Miller, who began dating in 2018, have kept a relatively low profile compared to the high-profile relationships of their exes.
They have rarely been seen together in public, making this recent outing all the more significant.
