Current Status of Their Relationship

The source emphasized that Affleck respects Garner’s ongoing relationship with businessman John Miller and would never want to interfere. “Ben respects Jen’s relationship with John and would never come between them,” the insider stated.
“At the same time, Ben knows it’s just not realistic at this time in their lives,” the source adds.GC ImagesJennifer Garner’s Perspective
