Jennifer Garner’s boyfriend, John Miller, has issued an ultimatum after recent photos surfaced of Garner and her ex-husband, Ben Affleck, embracing at their son’s birthday party. A source revealed that while Miller has always been supportive of Garner and Affleck’s co-parenting relationship, he feels Affleck “crossed the line” this time. The photos in question showed Affleck, 52, grabbing Garner, also 52, around the waist as she aimed a paintball gun during their son Samuel’s 13th birthday celebration on March 2 in Castaic, California.
The former couple, who also share daughters Violet, 19, and Seraphina, 16, appeared cozy in the images. According to the insider, Miller, 47, gave Garner an ultimatum, stating that he “doesn’t want to see anything like that again or he has no choice but to walk away.” The source added that Miller hasn’t been “thrilled” about the increasing amount of time Garner and Affleck have spent together recently, especially around holidays like Christmas and Thanksgiving. Representatives for both Garner and Affleck did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the situation.
Final chance for Garner
Meanwhile, Garner has reportedly addressed rumors about Miller’s relationship with his ex-wife, Caroline Campbell. Another source emphasized that Garner is secure and unbothered by Miller’s connection with his ex, highlighting the amicable ties the couples maintain.
“Jen is more than aware of John’s relationship with his ex-wife Caroline,” the source said, noting that Garner and Miller started dating while both were finalizing their divorces, which brought them closer together. The insider added that Garner knows and respects Campbell, and just like Garner and Affleck, Miller and his ex-wife have stayed close since their 2011 divorce for the sake of their children. On the other hand, Jennifer Lopez is reportedly “furious” over the constant photos of Affleck and Garner together, which are “completely messing with her head,” according to a source.
Lopez and Affleck finalized their own divorce just weeks ago on February 20. Despite the speculation, sources say Garner and Affleck maintain a friendly relationship for their children’s sake, with one insider stating, “They laugh about the rumors of a reunion because they both know it’s not going to happen.” Affleck is currently promoting his new film with Matt Damon, while Garner and Miller’s relationship is said to be flourishing.
