Ben Affleck’s comments on his marriage to Jennifer Garner are making her boyfriend ‘uncomfortable’  

Ben Affleck has expressed both regret over his failed marriage to Jennifer Garner and his admiration for her in a series of recent interviews.  

And as eye-opening as the remarks are, they aren’t sitting very well with Jennifer’s current boyfriend, John Miller. 

John, who is the 47-year-old’s first love interest since the end of her marriage to Ben,  47, is growing ‘uncomfortable with Ben’s interviews,’ a source told Us Weekly.

The actor’s marriage to Jennifer has been brought up multiple times as Ben promotes his new film, The Way Back, which sees the star, who has battled alcoholism in real life, play a basketball coach struggling with the same addiction.  

‘John is empathetic to Ben’s struggles with sobriety, but he worries about how Jennifer has once again become the focus,’ the source said, adding Ben needed to be more considerate of Jennifer’s feelings before expressing himself.  

John is supportive of Jennifer spending time with Ben as they continue to co-parent their three children together following their split. 

However, the businessman believes Ben would get back with Jennifer if he had the chance.   

‘John believes Ben would remarry Jennifer if she wanted to get back together,’ the source explained. ‘John wants to marry Jennifer but knows she isn’t ready yet.’

John and Jennifer have been dating since 2018, the same year her divorce with Ben was finalized. 

Jennifer and Ben married in 2005 and share daughters Violet, 14, Seraphina, 11, and son Samuel, seven.

The couple split in 2015, and officially divorced three years later in what Ben has since called the ‘biggest regret’ of his life.  

‘The biggest regret of my life is this divorce,’ he told the New York Times, in which he detailed his struggles with alcoholism.  

Ben said he ‘drank relatively normally for a long time’ in the wake of their split. 

‘What happened was that I started drinking more and more when my marriage was falling apart,’ he told the newspaper. ‘This was 2015, 2016. My drinking, of course, created more marital problems.’ 

More recently, Ben said he was fortunate to be connected ‘forever’ to Jennifer.

‘When you have children with somebody you’re connected to them forever,’ he told People in an interview released Wednesday. 

‘And I’m very lucky she is the mother of my children.’

Jennifer even supported Ben during his struggle with alcoholism, staging an intervention and driving him to rehab.  

‘I’m very grateful and respectful of her,’ he continued. ‘Our marriage didn’t work, and that’s difficult. Both of us really believe that it’s important for kids to see their parents respect one another and get along, whether they’re together or not.’
