Jennifer Garner and her boyfriend, John Miller, were photographed together on Sunday, marking their first public appearance as a couple in over a year. The pair were seen enjoying a date night at the Italian restaurant Fia in Santa Monica, California.
The sighting addresses recent speculation about the couple's status, as they were last seen together at a public establishment in July 2025, and their last general sighting was in December of the previous year. Garner, 54, and Miller appeared affectionate as they walked to the restaurant, with Garner placing a hand on Miller's back at one point.
Garner was dressed casually in a light-gray sweatshirt, cropped white jeans, and white trainers. Miller wore an olive button-up shirt with his sleeves rolled up, acid-wash jeans, and brown leather Chelsea boots.
Garner and the CaliGroup CEO began dating in 2018, three years after her separation from ex-husband Ben Affleck. The couple reportedly reunited in 2021 after a brief split in 2020 and have largely maintained a low profile since then. Earlier in 2025, rumors circulated that Miller had moved in with Garner, with him being spotted outside her Los Angeles home in May. A source told UsWeekly at the time that Miller was splitting his time between his own Los Angeles office and Garner's home.
In mid-March of last year, sources confirmed the couple was still going strong, describing them as "very cute with one another" during a date night at the Brentwood Country Mart in Los Angeles, where they were seen holding hands and kissing.
Miller, a Stanford Law School graduate, is the chairman and CEO of CaliGroup, a technology conglomerate that owns the CaliBurger chain and invests in robotics and artificial intelligence. He also leads PopID, a CaliGroup company focused on facial recognition payment systems. He maintains a low public profile and co-parents two children with his ex-wife, violinist Caroline Campbell.
Last month, Garner spoke about the impact of fame on her family life, recounting how the constant presence of paparazzi at her children's soccer practices led to the association asking the family to stop attending. She described an "odd dynamic" with the photographers who have followed her for over 20 years, noting a strange sense of respect despite the intrusion.
