Jennifer Garner and longtime boyfriend John Miller turned a rainy Labor Day weekend into an unexpectedly romantic moment. The famously private couple were photographed together in Brentwood, California, over the holiday weekend, where a casual outing included an affectionate embrace beside a car.
The new sighting comes after Garner and Miller made several rare appearances together in August, putting their nearly decade-long relationship back in the spotlight.

She was also seen carrying a drink and her keys as she and Miller made their way outside in the wet weather.

At one point during the outing, Garner and Miller stopped for an embrace.
One photo shows Miller smiling broadly as he places his hand on Garner's back. Another captures Garner wrapping an arm around him, with her hand resting against the back of his plaid shirt.
