Jennifer Garner and John Miller's Relationship Timeline: Everything to Know

Shortly after Jennifer Garner finalized her divorce from Ben Affleck, People reported the 13 Going on 30 actress had begun dating again.

"Jen has been wanting to move on and now when the divorce is finalized, she finally can," a source told the news outlet. "She has had no choice but to be patient since Ben needed to finish his rehab treatment. But she was ready to sign the papers."

The insider continued, "Jen doesn't want to be single for the rest of her life, so she is open to dating. She has been on dates, but it seems she isn't serious about a guy. As always, she is mostly focused on her kids and her job."

Shortly after the news broke, a separate source revealed Garner was "casually" dating CaliGroup CEO John Miller. Although things were reportedly "not serious" at the time, the mom-of-three was reportedly "excited about the future."

Garner and Miller were spotted out and about in Los Angeles as they watched the Dear Evan Hansen musical at the Ahmanson Theater.

Despite their first public appearance together, a source said The Adam Project actress wanted to keep things private.

"She doesn't call him her boyfriend," said an insider. "But she loves getting attention from John. They have fun together and it's easy. She only sees John when she isn't busy with her kids. He understands that her kids are her number one priority."

According to a source, Miller was "the complete opposite" of Affleck, making Garner feel like she had finally found "a true partner."

"John and Jen are in similar places in their lives and can relate to raising kids after a divorce. They’re on the same page and understand where things stand," the insider added.

One year after their first public outing, Garner and Miller were photographed dining at Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica, Calif.

"They have a very special relationship," an insider told People. "It's never been the easiest one though since they both have families. They took a long break from dating, but Jen is very happy that they are back together."

Amid rumored tension between Miller and Affleck, Garner and her man enjoyed a stroll in Los Angeles.

"Everything is fine with John and Jen," a source said of their romance. "Those close to them haven't heard of any issues."

The following month, the businessman visited Garner at her Brentwood, Calif., home.
