To the public, the couple appeared to have a strong family foundation, but behind the scenes, problems were brewing.<\/p>\n<p>In 2015, a day after their tenth wedding anniversary, they announced their separation, emphasizing in a statement their mutual respect and commitment to co-parenting their children, People detailed at the time.<\/p>\n<p>While the two remained committed to their family, Affleck\u2019s personal struggles with alcoholism became increasingly public. He first sought treatment for his addiction in 2001, but his battle with alcohol worsened in the later years of their marriage. Garner was supportive throughout, even staging an intervention in 2018.<\/p>\n<p>Their divorce was finalized that October in a private meeting at Garner\u2019s home, and despite the end of their marriage, they remained closely connected, especially for the sake of their children. During a 2020 interview with the New York Times, Affleck reflected on the divorce, calling it the \u201cbiggest regret\u201d of his life and admitting that his drinking had contributed to the breakdown of their relationship.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jennifer Garner and John Miller<\/strong> Following her divorce from Affleck, Garner began dating John Miller, the CEO of a tech company. Their relationship, which began shortly after her split from Affleck, marked Garner\u2019s first serious romance in years. Miller brought a sense of stability to Garner\u2019s life, a contrast to the turbulence of her previous marriage. However, their relationship hasn\u2019t been without challenges. The couple briefly broke up in 2021 but reconciled, and by February 2023, sources confirmed that they had been back together for over a year.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-expand=\"600\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-7122 aligncenter\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg' viewBox%3D'0 0 426 423'%2F%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/freedby.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Jennifer-Garner-and-John-Miller-300x298.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"426\" height=\"423\" \/><br \/>\nWhile Garner and Miller tend to keep their relationship low-key, it occasionally makes headlines, particularly because of Garner\u2019s continued involvement in Affleck\u2019s life, including his split from Jennifer Lopez.
