Jennifer Garner and her long-term partner, John Miller, have been spotted together in a rare public appearance, fuelling ongoing speculation about the status of their relationship. The couple were seen in Los Angeles on Monday, seemingly in high spirits and exchanging a Christmas present during their outing.
A Rare Public Sighting
The 53-year-old actress, famed for her role in 13 Going On 30, opted for a casual and comfortable look, wearing a grey sweater with black leggings and white trainers. Her companion, 47-year-old businessman John Miller, complemented her low-key style in a tan sweater layered over a button-down shirt, paired with blue jeans and brown leather Chelsea boots.
This sighting is significant as the pair have deliberately kept their romance away from the public eye for years. Garner and Miller first began dating in 2018, three years after her separation from ex-husband Ben Affleck, with whom she shares three children: Violet, 19, Fin, 16, and Samuel, 13.
Navigating Rumours and a Lasting Bond
Their relationship has not been without its pauses, having briefly split in 2020 before reconciling the following year. Despite recent rumours of a rekindled closeness between Garner and Affleck following his divorce from Jennifer Lopez, the actress and Miller appear more solid than ever. This was underscored in April 2025 when they were photographed sharing a kiss.
Further fuelling speculation about a serious commitment, rumours have swirled that Miller has moved into Garner's Los Angeles mansion. A source told UsWeekly in May that John is 'basically living with Jennifer' on a part-time basis. This shift was reportedly accelerated after wildfires damaged his own LA property, and he has yet to secure a new permanent home.
A Low-Profile Partner with a High-Profile Career
While Garner's life is frequently documented, Miller maintains a notably low public profile. A Stanford Law School graduate, he is the Chairman and CEO of CaliGroup, a technology conglomerate. His business interests are diverse, encompassing the CaliBurger restaurant chain and significant investments in cutting-edge fields like robotics and artificial intelligence.
He also leads PopID, a CaliGroup portfolio company specialising in facial recognition payment systems. Outside of his professional life, Miller is dedicated to co-parenting his two children with ex-wife Caroline Campbell, a renowned violinist. The former couple divorced in 2011 but maintain an amicable relationship for their family.
An eyewitness account from a March date night at Brentwood Country Mart described the couple as "very cute with one another," noting they were "holding hands and kissing." The source added they looked like a "married couple that is thriving," enjoying a normal, affectionate dynamic free from Hollywood pretence.
As they approach seven years together, this latest festive outing suggests Jennifer Garner has found a steady, drama-free partnership with John Miller, providing a sanctuary from the relentless spotlight of celebrity life.
