Has Jennifer Garner split with longtime boyfriend John Miller?
That’s the argument made in a startling new report. Stay in touch.
Of course, the rumor is especially interesting given its timing.
Earlier this week, Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce from Garner’s ex-husband, Ben Affleck.
Ben has maintained a close relationship with his first wife since splitting with her, and the pair have been frequently spotted together in recent weeks.
So did these two breakups have anything to do with each other? Probably yes, but probably not in the way you think.
Jennifer Garner ‘breaks up’ with boyfriend John Miller: What’s going on?
Rumors of an Affleck and Garner reunion could quickly spread like wildfire on social media, but there is no reason to believe such a reconciliation will ever come to fruition.
But that doesn’t mean Ben’s marital drama isn’t affecting Jen and John’s relationship.
According to Life & Style According to the report, Ben’s habit of treating Jen like his “personal therapist” is creating tension in other areas of her life as well.
“Jen was having a lot of issues with Ben and it was taking a toll on her and she and John have gone their separate ways. It wasn’t her choice,” a source told the outlet.
Is Ben to blame for Jen’s breakup?
The source added that “several friends are saying” that Jennifer and John’s breakup was “all Ben’s fault.”
“Jen is very sweet towards Ben but she admits that her personal life, especially raising children, takes up a lot of her time,” the source said, adding:
“Ben has been relying on Jen. [Garner] “She wants advice and support, which is a huge pain for John; he doesn’t want to compete with her ex-husband for her attention.”
The source added that Ben “made Jen his personal therapist when he began having problems in his second marriage.”
“He’s always relied on her, but things got worse after he split with Jennifer. When she moved out he became incredibly dependent,” the source added.
“It was one crisis after another and Jen was always there for him when he was going through those moments. John finally just couldn’t take it anymore.”
Sources say Jen’s friends are upset because they thought she and John were the perfect couple.
“Jen’s inner circle really likes John and hopes they can get back together one day,” the source said, adding that Jen’s “friends are still rooting for them.”
“Jen’s second chance at love has been ruined. Instead of blaming Ben, she’s taken full responsibility for her own life. But her friends aren’t so forgiving.”
Ben and Jen’s complicated relationship
As for the rumors that Jen still has feelings for Ben, sources say that’s completely false — in fact, her main motivation for trying to listen to Ben’s complaints was concern for the kids, the source explains.
“It has nothing to do with Jen having feelings for Ben. She’s not in love with him,” the source said.
“It all comes down to what’s best for the child, and Jen is the type of mom who will always put her child’s needs before her own.”
