From dating Michael Vartan to divorce with Scott Foley and Ben Affleck to currently dating John Miller, here's a look into the relationship timeline of '13 Going on 30' actress, Jennifer Garner.
Jennifer Garner was born on April 17, 1972, in Houston, Texas, U.S., and made her first credited acting role on television with the 1995 American television movie, Zoya. Garner was so good in her role as ‘Sasha’ in the film that she went on to appear in TV movies and series like Harvest of Fire and Dead Man's Walk, and in guest spots on Swift Justice and Law & Order. In 1997, Garner appeared in her first feature film, Washington Square, and that same year, she also worked in her first TV movie, Rose Hill.
Fast-forward to 2026, and Jennifer Garner has built a three-decade-long career from 1995 to 2026, working in films, television shows, and streaming platforms. She has worked on 30-plus feature films, led hit TV series like Alias, and been part of OTT projects including The Adam Project, Yes Day, The Last Thing He Told Me, and Family Switch.
The 53-year-old actress is currently involved in multiple projects like The Last Thing He Told Me (Season 2), Peacock’s The Five-Star Weekend, Mrs Claus, One Attempt Remaining, Zygote, Fruitcake, and Fantasy Camp. While on the professional front, Jennifer Garner is engaged in numerous projects, she made headlines for her personal life. In January 2026, Garner spoke about co-parenting her three children with her ex-husband, Ben Affleck, in an interview with Marie Claire UK. She admitted that the divorce was “hard”, but she’s glad she’s able to co-parent their kids with peace.
Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck first met on the sets of the iconic film, Pearl Harbor, in 2000 and reconnected two years later while working on Daredevil in 2002. After becoming close friends, they fell in love and began dating in mid-2004. They got engaged in April 2005 and finally married on June 29, 2005, in Turks and Caicos. The couple welcomed three kids, Violet in 2005, Seraphina in 2009, and Samuel in 2012.
Unfortunately, on June 30, 2015, Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck announced their separation, ending their 10-year marriage. In April 2017, Garner filed for divorce and in October 2018, they were officially divorced. It was a heartbreaking phase for the actress as it was her second divorce.
For the uninitiated, Jennifer Garner was previously married to Scott Foley, whom she first met in 1998 on the sets of the TV series, Felicity. From on-screen love interests to dating each other in real life, Garner and Foley got married on October 19, 2000. Due to their professional commitments, they announced their divorce in 2003.
Jennifer Garner also dated renowned actor, Michael Vartan after her divorce from Scott Foley, before falling in love with Ben Affleck. The ex-couple met in 2001 while working on the ABC drama, Alias and began dating in 2003. Unfortunately, by 2004, they had decided to part ways because they were unable to nurture their relationship amid their highly demanding careers. Fast forward to 2025, Garner is in a relationship with John C. Miller, a businessman and the CEO of CailGroup.
Jennifer Garner and John C. Miller have been in a relationship since 2018, and although they briefly parted ways in 2020, but they got reunited in 2021. Talking about the actress’ current boyfriend, Miller is a Stanford Law School graduate who has worked as an attorney and as a vice president. He now leads multiple companies like CaliGroup and PopID. Unlike her previous relationships, Garner has kept her romance with Miller relatively private.
According to multiple reports, John C. Miller is extremely supportive of Jennifer Garner co-parenting her three children with her ex-husband, Ben Affleck, which clearly speaks volumes about their strong bond as a couple. Garner’s fans are extremely happy to see their favourite actress leading a steady relationship and are keeping their fingers crossed, as they’re eagerly waiting for the news of their engagement or wedding. We hope Garner and Miller continue to be in a happy relationship that eventually turns into a journey of a lifetime.
