Is Jennifer Garner taking a break from her longtime boyfriend, John Miller?
The statement made in the new report is surprising from In Touch.
Of course, the rumors are very interesting, because of the timing.
Earlier this week, Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce from Garner’s ex-husband Ben Affleck.
Ben has maintained a close relationship with his first wife in the years since their split. And they’ve been seen together a lot in the past few weeks.
So what do the two breakups have to do with each other? Maybe – but probably not as much as you think!
Jennifer Garner’s ‘Break’ From Boyfriend John Miller: Is It Here?
While rumors of an Affleck-Garner reunion may be spreading like wildfire on social media, there’s no reason to believe a reconciliation is in the cards.
But that doesn’t mean Ben’s marriage drama hasn’t affected Jen’s relationship with John.
According to Life & Style reports, Ben’s habit of treating Jen like a “personal therapist” has created tension in other areas of his life.
“Jen has been with Ben for so long, it just took a toll. And she and John ended up going their separate ways. It wasn’t her choice,” an insider told the outlet.
Is Ben Responsible for Jen’s Breakup?
The source added that “some friends say” Jennifer and John’s split was “all Ben’s fault.”
“Jen can be very easy with Ben, but in private, she admits she’s had a lot of time – especially since she has a lot of work to do to look after her parents,” the insider said, adding:
“Ben has turned to Jen (Garner) for advice and support, and this is a source of stress for John. He doesn’t like competing with his ex-wife for his attention.
The source added that Ben “basically made Jen his personal therapist once he started having problems in his second marriage.”
“He was the one who was going to run away. But it got worse after he left J. Lo. When he moved out, he really needed her,” the insider added.
“A crisis, and when he was in the country, Jen was there for him without fail. John had had enough.
The source claims that Jen’s friends are confused, because they think she and John make a perfect match.
“Jen’s inner circle loves John and hopes to get back together one day,” the insider said, adding that Jen’s friends are still following her.
“Jen’s second chance at love has been ruined. Instead of blaming Ben, she takes responsibility for her life – even if her friends don’t forgive her.
Ben and Jen’s Complex Relationship
As for rumors that Jen still has feelings for Ben, the source claims that they are completely false. In fact, the insider explained, her willingness to be a shoulder to cry on was prompted mainly by concern for her children:
“It has nothing to do with Jen having feelings for Ben — she’s not carrying a torch for him,” the source said.
“It comes down to what’s best for her children. Jen is the type of mother who will always put her own needs first.”
