Jennifer Garner and her boyfriend, businessman John Miller, were spotted enjoying a cozy dinner at a popular Malibu, California, eatery on Saturday. The couple, who have been together since 2018, appeared relaxed and content as they shared dinner together. However, the outing comes amid growing speculation about tensions and the fact that Miller is reluctant to share Garner’s time with Affleck due to his marital problems.
Sources close to the couple have revealed that Miller is becoming increasingly uncomfortable with Garner’s frequent interactions with her ex-husband Ben Affleck, especially during his divorce from Jennifer Lopez, which was “tough” for Miller.
