Jennifer Garner was seen having a lunch date in Santa Monica with her boyfriend John Miller. Garner, dressed in a gray top, black skirt and black loafers, was surprisingly affectionate with the casually dressed entrepreneur, holding his hand as they chatted and made their way to her car. Since getting together with Miller in 2018, Garner, 51, has kept their romance very private. However, in recent months, she has been noticeably less guarded. In April, Miller attended the premiere of Garner’s series The Last Thing He Told Me, and on November 17, she was photographed blowing him a kiss after the pair said goodbye outside her Brentwood, California, home.
Garner is experiencing success in multiple areas. Her latest movie, Netflix's "Family Switch," is set to premiere on November 30, and she has four other films in the works. She and her ex-husband, Ben Affleck, are on good terms and her relationship with Miller is progressing well. Last May, Miller gifted Garner a diamond ring for her 50th birthday and the couple spent Thanksgiving weekend together in Montana. According to a source, "Jen and John are in a great place." They are no longer keeping their relationship under wraps and have become secure in how things have worked out.

Miller has brought a sense of calm to Garner’s life. According to a second source, "Jen and John share a truly unique bond. After having her previous marriage in the public eye, she appreciates being with someone who isn't a star." Like Garner, Miller has achieved success in his career - serving as the CEO of CaliBurger and its parent company, CaliGroup. Sources say he remains very grounded despite his accomplishments.
The first source states, "Despite his business success, John remains very down-to-earth. Part of what attracts Jen to him is his humility. He is the type of person who wouldn't come across as arrogant even if he tried."
“Jen and John are totally committed to each other,” a source says of the couple, seen in Santa Monica on Nov. 4. X17online.com
Both Miller and Garner prioritize family (Miller shares children with his ex-wife) and enjoy the simple things in life. Miller has no problem with low-key dates and home-cooked meals instead of fancy outings. According to a source, Garner has been the one leading the relationship from the start, with Miller happy to go along and occasionally surprising her with romantic gestures and double dates.

According to the first source, individuals close to Garner and Miller are optimistic that they will eventually get married. The source stated, "Jen and John are taking their time to carefully plan the specifics of their wedding ceremony, where they will live, and whether they will require a prenup. All of these details will unfold according to their own timeline."
In June, an insider informed Us that Miller had rented a home just a few miles from Garner. While there were no immediate plans for them to live together, the source indicated that Miller "wanted to be closer" to his partner.

Currently, they are completely satisfied. According to a third party, Miller intends to accompany Garner to the premiere of Family Switch on November 30 to support both Garner and their daughter, who has a small role in the film. (Us previously reported in January that Garner was considering casting one of Miller's children in an upcoming movie of hers.) And the initial source confirms that they will be spending Christmas at Garner's residence.
"Their plan is to observe most of the holidays in L.A. this year," the source reveals. "Jen will be engaging in traditional activities with the children, such as decorating, baking, and watching movies. John will, of course, be present as well. He is very well-liked by her family."
