Jennifer Garner’s Fancé is Done Playing Second to Ben Affleck and Gave Her Final Ultimatum
Jennifer Garner is reportedly facing relationship tensions with her fiancé, John Miller, as her close bond with ex-husband Ben Affleck continues to create challenges. According to RadarOnline.com, Miller, a successful businessman and CEO, is growing increasingly frustrated with Affleck’s influence in Garner’s life, particularly after the actor’s rumored split from Jennifer Lopez.
A source close to the couple revealed that Miller has been “infinitely patient” with Garner’s co-parenting arrangement with Affleck but now feels it’s time for a shift in priorities. “John wants to take the front seat in Jen’s life, and right now, Ben pretty much occupies that place,” the insider claimed.
The dynamic between Garner and Affleck has long been considered one of the healthiest post-divorce relationships in Hollywood.
The former couple shares three children—Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel—and have often been spotted spending time together as a family. However, Miller reportedly wants to ensure that his relationship with Garner is not overshadowed by her connection with Affleck.
“He’s not asking Jen to cut Ben out of her life, but John wants to be the priority—he wants to be her number one,” the source explained.
While Garner is fully committed to co-parenting with Affleck, the idea of shifting the balance in favor of her fiancé may prove difficult. “The concern is that it may be impossible for Jen to move forward with a change in dynamics with Ben because it has been this way for so long,” the insider added.
This isn’t the first time Garner’s close relationship with Affleck has raised eyebrows. In the past, she has been seen publicly supporting him through his struggles, including his battle with alcoholism. Even after their divorce was finalized in 2018, she continued to be a pillar of strength in his life.
Affleck’s recent personal struggles, including reported marital tensions with Jennifer Lopez, may be playing a role in his continued reliance on Garner. “Jen has always been Ben’s go-to person, and that hasn’t changed,” the source noted.

This could be a significant factor in Miller’s growing frustrations, as he wants to build a future with Garner without feeling like a secondary figure in her life.
Despite her love for Miller, sources suggest Garner may find it difficult to fully separate her emotional support system from Affleck. The challenge lies in maintaining a healthy co-parenting relationship while also ensuring her fiancé feels secure in their relationship.
For now, insiders say Miller is hoping that Garner will make adjustments to prioritize their engagement. “John has put up with a lot, but he wants to feel like he’s not just waiting around for scraps of her time and attention,” the source revealed.
With their wedding reportedly on the horizon, tensions between Garner and Miller may need to be resolved sooner rather than later. While Miller has been patient, sources believe he may eventually push for a clearer commitment from Garner.
As for Affleck, it remains to be seen how his rumored split from Lopez will impact his dynamic with Garner. If he becomes more dependent on his ex-wife’s emotional support, it could further complicate her relationship with Miller.
For now, fans will be watching closely to see how Jennifer Garner navigates this tricky situation—balancing love, family, and her future.
