Speculation about Jennifer Garner’s relationship with her longtime boyfriend John Miller has been sparked by her recent appearance in Los Angeles, California, wearing a unique gold and turquoise ring.
The actress, aged 52, was captured by photographers on October 26, 2024, donning the notable ring on her left hand while driving. This occurrence has brought renewed focus to her five-year relationship with John Miller, the CEO of CaliBurger.
The couple is known for their preference for privacy, often escaping Los Angeles for weekend trips, according to a source close to them. Their relationship started in October 2018, went through a brief separation in August 2020, and saw a reconciliation in May 2021.
Rumors suggest that the couple may be planning a wedding in Europe. Garner and Miller have reportedly made more trips to Europe than is usual, and Miller is said to be supportive of the idea of a grand celebration in Paris.
Garner, who ended her 13-year marriage with Ben Affleck in 2018, has three children with her former spouse: Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12. Their divorce was remarkably amicable, with both parties representing themselves without lawyers and using mediation to reach a private settlement agreement.
A source described Garner and Miller’s bond as “very special,” emphasizing that it has strengthened since their reconciliation in 2021. Miller, a father of two children from his previous marriage to Caroline Campbell, shares Garner’s dedication to family values.
The couple’s relationship began the same year Garner’s divorce from Affleck was finalized. Miller was also dealing with the end of his marriage to Campbell, from whom he had separated in June 2011. A brief reconciliation occurred in February 2012 before they filed for divorce in October 2014.
By January 2023, sources indicated that Garner had “no intention of slowing things down, spending less time together, or anything like that.” They have maintained their privacy while also occasionally showing public affection throughout 2022 and 2023.
This isn’t the first instance of Garner’s jewelry choices leading to engagement rumors. In November 2021, she wore a different gold ring during an Instagram Live appearance, which also led to similar speculation. Her representatives have consistently refrained from commenting on these rumors.
Recent sightings of Garner in Paris have further fueled speculation about possible wedding preparations. Reports suggest that she has been scouting for venues and looking at dresses. If true, a lavish Parisian wedding would be a stark contrast to her previous marriage to Affleck, which began with an elopement in 2005.
