Jennifer Garner did not dump her boyfriend John Miller for being jealous of Ben Affleck.

A year ago, National Enquirer published a report claiming that the “Peppermint” actress dumped Miller because he was jealous of her ex-husband. A source said that Garner didn’t like that side of Miller and realized that she didn’t want to rush things with her beau.

Miller reportedly told Garner that he didn’t want Affleck to be “around so much.” The dubious source added that Garner was ready to walk away from his relationship with Miller for the sake of her family.

Apparently, the report was not true. First, Miller is not jealous of Affleck. Second, Garner and Miller are still together. In fact, they have been spotted out and about this year.

A source told Us Weekly that Miller is not jealous of Affleck. The CEO and chairman of holding company Cali Group understands her committment to helping her ex-husband and the father of her three children. Also, Garner is “extremely happy” with her boyfriend.

“Jen has been thankful for John’s stable love and support during issues she has faced with [ex-husband Ben Affleck’s] sobriety. He isn’t jealous and understands Jen’s commitment to helping Ben,” the source said.

In September, Garner and her businessman boyfriend were seen together in Santa Monica, California. They were spotted at Italian restaurant Giorgio Baldi, where they arrived separately, People reported.

The couple is rarely seen together in public. However, they are still very much together. It’s just that she is busy with her kids.

“She only sees John when she isn’t busy with her kids,” a source said. “He understands that her kids are her number one priority.”

In August, another source told Us Weekly that Garner and Miller’s relationship has helped the exes’ co-parenting arrangement. Affleck reportedly became a better parent. He was keen to show Garner that he could be a better person and they were co-parenting in a way they never have before.

In related news, Garner and Affleck were last seen together on Sunday. They attended a church service with their three children Violet, 14, Seraphina 10, and Samuel, 7.
