Jennifer Garner marked Mother's Day 2025 with a quiet and affectionate morning stroll through Los Angeles, accompanied by her boyfriend, John Miller, following a visit from her ex- Ben Affleck.

The couple, known for their low-key relationship, were seen hand-in-hand, with the actress showing her love by placing a hand gently on his back as they walked. The two were all smiles, enjoying their quality time together following rumors of struggles in their relationship earlier this year.

The pair dressed casually for their romantic outing and stopped by a local coffee shop where they shared a casual conversation. The actress kept it simple, wearing black leggings, a green T-shirt, and socks over her leggings, while Miller opted for a denim shirt.

The two were later seen on a cozy date at the Brentwood Farmers’ Market, confirming that their relationship was still going strong. While the actress enjoyed a quiet Mother's Day morning with her boyfriend, her ex-husband Ben Affleck made a brief visit to her home.

The former couple is known for having an amicable co-parenting relationship. The two stars share three children; Violet, 19, who is away at college, Fin, 16, and Samuel, 13. They have managed to maintain a friendly dynamic since their 2018 divorce.

Ben was seen on the visit carrying what appeared to be a small gift and was dressed casually in a white T-shirt with "ANIMALS Film Crew" printed on it, paired with jeans and sneakers.

Despite the amicable relationship between Garner and Affleck, a source close to the situation has revealed that Garner’s boyfriend, John Miller, is reportedly uncomfortable with the closeness between the exes.

A source told Page Six that Miller finds it difficult when Ben spends holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving with the family, as it sometimes feels like a "third-wheel" situation. "It used to be solely about the kids," the insider explained, "but John feels like it could be more than just a co-parenting relationship."
