Jennifer Garner may be stuck between a rock and a hard place. The 13 Going On 30 actress is said to have been given an ultimatum by her longtime boyfriend, John Miller. The couple are rumored to be planning a wedding. However, that may not be the case unless Garner can dissolve her close relationship with her former husband, Ben Affleck. Ben and Jen have been close for years and share three children, Violet, Fin, and Samuel. However, it’s allegedly too much for John.
According to Radar Online, Jennifer Garner might have to make a very big decision about her life. John Miller is reportedly tired of playing second fiddle to Ben Affleck. While he understands that there’s a connection between Garner and Affleck, he wants to be the most important man in her life.
“John wants to take the front seat in Jen’s life and right now, Ben is pretty much occupying that spot,” an insider dished. “John’s been infinitely patient, but it’s got to change, or he will have to seriously consider bowing out. He’s not asking Jen to cut Ben out of her life, but John wants to be the priority, he wants to be her No. 1.”
Jennifer Garner Told To Ditch Ben Affleck For The Sake of Her Relationship with John Miller
The source went on to reveal that Miller wants to marry Garner. However, he can’t have his wife in a co-dependent relationship with her ex-husband. Sadly, Miller is allegedly worried that it might be “impossible” for Jen to ditch her close relationship with Ben because it’s been their dynamic for too long.
“There’s no doubt she’s in love with John and values him in her life, but that doesn’t guarantee she’ll be able to break her bond with Ben,” the informant stated. “She feels responsible for him in a way – he is, after all, the father of her kids.”
As previously reported, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner are said to be closer than ever. The actress was allegedly a huge source of support for Affleck when he went through his divorce with his second wife, Jennifer Lopez. They’ve reportedly built a close friendship over the years, and co-parent their kids very successfully.
There have even been rumors about the couple getting back together. However, it seems that Garner is sticking by Miller. While they might have some things to work out, the duo appears to be going strong despite the online speculation about their relationship.
It will be interesting to see if Jennifer Garner pulls back from Ben Affleck in the coming months. Now that his divorce from JLo is final, she shouldn’t need to offer him so much support.
