Over the last five years, Jennifer Garner has worked hard to keep her relationship with boyfriend John Miller out of the spotlight. Lately though, eagle-eyed fans have noticed a shift in the couple’s romance as they take a big step in not hiding their love — they are ready to go public.

Miller attended the red-carpet premiere of her show, The Last Thing He Told Me, in April, and more recently, their PDA has been on display for the paparazzi. What’s the reason for the big shift? Well, an insider told Us Weekly that the duo is in “a great place” after an on-again, off-again relationship during the pandemic. “They used to go out of their way to keep a low profile, but they’ve both become very secure with their relationship and how it’s all worked out,” they noted.

Jennifer Garner and John Miller are seen leaving the premiere of The Adam Project at Alice Tully Hall on February 28, 2022ZapatA/MEGA.

Garner’s “special relationship” with Miller is so completely different from her marriage to Ben Affleck which was fraught with tabloid headlines, constant paparazzi, and his addiction battles. The 50-year-old actress is thrilled to be dating someone who is successful, but not in the entertainment industry. Miller is the CEO of CaliGroup which runs the CaliBurger restaurant franchise. “For all his success in business, John is very down-to-earth,” the source added. “Part of John’s appeal to Jen is how humble he is — this is a guy who wouldn’t know how to sound egotistical even if he tried.”

Even though she already received a diamond ring (that is not an engagement ring) from Miller, there might be another sparkler in her future. Pals are feeling good that this relationship will go the distance. They are “on their own timetable” and in no rush to walk down the aisle, but Garner is loving the joy he has brought to her life. A second source gushed, “John is a romantic who’s big on making sweet gestures and spoiling Jen when she least expects it.” It sounds like Garner finally has her fairy-tale ending.
