As I mentioned on Instagram last week, I really expected Jennifer Garner to do a pap stroll this weekend with her new boyfriend, restaurant technology CEO John Miller. Instead we saw her at The World Series in a private box with her soon-to-be ex husband, Ben Affleck. Apparently their kids were there too, which makes sense. (I missed that detail as I didn’t see photos of the kids and People didn’t report it.) Well someone wants us to know that Jen saw her boyfriend this weekend and that they’re still happening. That someone would be the same person who went public with the six-month-old relationship. They told US that Jen met up with John and that’s about it. There weren’t any details about their night though.
Jennifer Garner had a packed schedule on Saturday, October 27! The actress met up with her new boyfriend, John Miller, after attending Game 4 of the 2018 World Series with her ex-husband, Ben Affleck, a source tells Us Weekly exclusively.
This is weird right? Usually we would hear about what a great time they had and how she was spotted laughing at his jokes or touching his arm at a specific restaurant. Instead it’s just this terse story about how they saw each other with no filler at all. I have a theory that John was not happy with the fallout from going public as Jen’s boyfriend and that he told her he wouldn’t participate. That would explain a lot. It would also mean that their relationship is doomed. That’s like a Faustian bargain for her.
Also, Garner posted this video of herself where she’s putting together a quote from the Talmud. This is too precious, just post the quote or write that you condemn anti semitism. She did campaign for Hillary, I’ll give her that.
Also, the paparazzi tried to catch this guy and they couldn’t. They just posted exterior shots of his restaurant. Something is up.

I’m a lot more okay with her posting a quote from Pirkei Avot than I am an elected official giving the floor to a pastor in a bad rabbi costume. Like Taylor Swift, she has big reach and people listen to what she has to say, so no shade from me.
As to the bf, however it goes down, she’ll land on her romantic feet.
Yeah, it’s a little cheesy but I believe it’s genuine. And it’s attention getting, which is good, as you said.
I figured the kids were at the game; but it is interesting that People and others ignored that. Better story I guess. But with the events of the past few months there’s no way I bought they would be spending time together without the kids.
Yeah I have a feeling this guy is going to bail. Which is FINE. Better now then after marrying or getting super close to the kids. She’s 0 for 2 in the happy marriage department so caution is not unwarranted.
I have a feeling that Jen has worked out a deal with People to give them exclusives and valuable pap shots of her as long as they don’t photograph or even mention her children unless she explicitly approves…
I can’t imagine wanting to date Jen while her messy divorce drags on and all the pap shots with the kids and Ben…
Blind gossip has a post yesterday which could be her. “Not a pathetic looser”. Says she is not really dating him but did not want people to think she is a looser. ( it could also be Jenna Dewan)
Question: Do the paparazzi hound Jennifer to the extent that every move is documented/every time she leaves the house OR is every day one big pap walk? how come other celebrities do not get this level of exposure day in day out.
She calls them. She’s too dumb to figure out how to be relevant without the aid of gossip rags. She’s stuck in the 2007 celebrity business plan and only just figured out you can expose yourself on Instagram.
I highly doubt she is calling them. She is always photographed in the same places: church, farmer’s markets, school runs, taking kids to extracurricular activities, etc.
She makes no attempt to avoid the paparazzi or change up her routine, so I wouldn’t classify that as her being hounded. She could easily avoid them if she had an assistant do the shopping, had a nanny drop off the kids, etc.
She enjoys being photographed on her terms. We’ve yet to see her on a date with her boyfriend, but we see her playing church-going super mom on a daily basis.
I cannot believe she innocently garners (pun intended) this much attention. There are A++ listers who do not generate almost daily updates and photos.
She reminds me of a teenager who loves attention and has to control every detail of the narrative. “Oh, you saw me with my maybe-ex? Well, I saw that rich, cute Bobby Burger that night, too, so there!” Except she uses PR and “sources” instead of first person.
They do. I’ve seen paparazzi storm an office building (like a swat team) for a low level D-lister. I’ve seen them sitting in trees at my grocery store waiting for a photo of a minor celebrity walking through the parking lot. They act like they are hunting human beings. It doesn’t always make sense and seems like “overkill” most of the time. They take stupid risks and endanger the community for photos that can’t be that valuable.
You can’t say they hound her when they haven’t got any pictures of her boyfriend pr them together. Not to mention when she wants privacy she gets it.
Yes they do will follow her, but she does make herself available for them to get pictures of her and her kids on a daily basis.
There is a new article in “People” which says that “It’s not serious, but she enjoys his company.” Time will tell.
Something is definitely up. I think she played her hand too fast. He was not pleased about the roll out, especially with the fact that he is still in the middle of his divorce and this news could affect him adversely in financial or custodial negotiations. Jen played herself.
Does seem strange that the paps cannot get a pic of John even while camping out at his restaurant?
I think John does not want to be seen & is making sure he isn’t seen…
Interesting to note..when she & Ben first went public, they were photographed at Fenway Park during the World Series in 2004. There was no big announcement prior.
IMO, i do not look for them to go public until the new year…both of their divorces should probably be finalized by then….
I don’t think that’s it. If she wanted to keep the relationship on the down low until the new year. She wouldn’t have rolled it out that she dating him to every media outlets that would listen. There aren’t any pictures of him or them together so she could have kept the relationship private and rolled it out when when they were ready to go public.
Something is definitely up.
Jen has been looking fantastic lately, she is in a great place, i am happy for her, she is a great lady with a heart of gold, and deserves every bit of happiness.
The recent blind gossip is that Jennifer Garner does not have a boyfriend she made this up because she was being seen as pathetic on her part for not moving on especially since the marriage was over for a long time
This way no asks why she isn’t dating. Until I see photos of them kissing and hanging out I refused to believe Jennifer has moved on. Now its her choice when to date however she is hanging on to everything Ben does and still wants full control after the divorce. In a way I see why Ben is a bit messed up. No one wants a clinging ex you have to accept someone doesn’t want to be with you even if you have kids.
Someone else also commented on that blind here. I think it is Jenna Dewan, though. When it went public that Channing was seeing Jessie
it was quickly added that Jenna was also dating.
It is sad that society can make make you feel like a loser if your ex has already moved on!
I am not buying any of it. There’s no proof that this “relationship” is anything other than a tabloid invention.
Instead of producing relationship drama she should be working on getting good parts and trying to build some kind of professional credibility.
