They were flashing smiles. Jennifer Garner, dressed in sweatpants and sneakers, had a dimple when she glanced at John Miller, also sporting joggers and a New York Yankees t-shirt.\n\n\n\n

Talking and joking along, they seemed to be any other couple savoring a few beautiful moments of connection on a quiet Saturday morning as they walked down a peaceful street in Santa Monica, California.\n\n\n\n

The outing was an uncommon event for the very reclusive pair. Six years after they first started dating, Jen and John are \u201cseriously in love,\u201d according to an exclusive insider speaking with Life & Style. They also feel \u201ccomfortable going out in public more than ever.\u201d\n\n\n\n

This is because, Life & Style has discovered, they are finally ready to walk down the aisle following a protracted and covert engagement.\n\n\n\n

After two failed marriages and more than nine years of rearing her three children with her second husband Ben Affleck, Jen, 52 is finally content with John. According to the insider, they are ideal for one another. John is her other half, really. She told friends, \u201cI\u2019ve never known love like this!\u201d
\n\n\n\n

Details of the Big Day
Jen has been secretive about her dating life since her divorce. Although she wasn\u2019t positive that another marriage was her ultimate goal, the Alias alum stated three years ago that she didn\u2019t think she would remain unmarried forever.\n\n\n\n

She confided in Allure, feeling proud of her independence, saying, \u201cI really love my solo life.\u201d\n\n\n\n

That changed a few years ago when a proposal arrived from the businessman who became Stanford Law graduate and is now the CEO of CaliGroup, which owns a network of roughly 50 CaliBurger restaurants globally.\n\n\n\n

A second source claims that Jen was taken aback by the romantic proposal and was unable to say no.\n\n\n\n

The second source states that Jen, who values her privacy, has made an effort not to wear her sparkler in public, but she has made a few mistakes.\n\n\n\n

\u201cJohn spent a long time making Jen an engagement ring and gave it to her two years ago, around April 2022, which is when she turned 50,\u201d the source adds.\n\n\n\n

The major event is starting to take form. The celebrity, who thrills admirers on Instagram with a fictitious cooking show, will keep things basic.\n\n\n\n

In their backyard, Jen and 51-year-old actor Scott Foley exchanged vows during their first wedding.\n\n\n\n

Their second date, which took place on a beach in Turks & Caicos with two pals, was with Ben, 51.\n\n\n\n

The 13\u201330 star also has no intention of going big for her third. Another insider suggests that it might happen in Malibu, stating that John owns estate there.\n\n\n\n

Tiny, personal and low-key. The insider claims that even though Jen gets along with Ben and his 54-year-old wife Jennifer Lopez and John has a strong relationship with his previous spouse, violinist Caroline Campbell, neither will be present.\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt would be awkward to have Ben at the wedding because Jen would have to invite J.Lo. And Jen and John don\u2019t want to invite any more publicity than necessary, they want no distractions,\u201d says the source. \u201cThis is their special day. They\u2019re much more low-key and want to keep their wedding private.\u201d

Their Joyful Journey
The four-time Emmy nominee got exactly what she wanted in a relationship with John.\n\n\n\n

Just before she finalized her divorce from Ben, Jen thought about what she would want in a partner two years before she began seeing him in 2018.\n\n\n\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know. It\u2019s just that [from] everyone that I know that is dating it just seems, well\u2026 Men don\u2019t call anymore\u2026\u201d she told Vanity Fair. \u201cI want flowers; I don\u2019t want to text. What does that make me? What kind of dinosaur am I?\u201d\n\n\n\n

John was a welcome change of pace following the turbulent breakup of her marriage with Ben.\n\n\n\n

The insider claims, \u201cHe loves to shower her with gifts. He\u2019s romantic.\u201d John was a constant, but she continued to drive Ben to recovery even after their breakup. \u201cThey can be old-fashioned,\u201d says a source.\n\n\n\n

He and Caroline had a 15-year-old daughter named Violet and a 17-year-old son named Quest.\n\n\n\n

He was also in the last stages of a divorce and learning how to coparent. John, like Jen, loved normalcy and always placed his family first. Jen also has a daughter, Violet, 18, as well as children, Fin, 15, and Samuel, 12, with Ben.\n\n\n\n

The insider claims, \u201cHe\u2019s very prudent and doesn\u2019t gamble, unlike Ben, and doesn\u2019t spend excessively.\u201d\n\n\n\n

Blended Family
According to a source, John and his former partner Caroline, a violinist, \u201care cordial and respect each other\u2019s boundaries\u201d while coparenting their teenagers.\n\n\n\n

They had some difficult times together; they briefly split up in 2020 due to the chaos caused by the epidemic, but they reconciled the following year.\n\n\n\n

The insider said, \u201cThey do birthday parties at home with their kids and act like a normal blended family doing everyday things \u2014getting ice cream, cooking dinner, just being together. But as much time as they spend together, they\u2019re also secretive about most of their meetups, maybe grabbing a quick glass of wine or dinner at odd hours so they\u2019re not seen. When they go away together, they fly private, so nobody sees them.\u201d\n\n\n\n

Jen and John are as content as they are grounded. According to the insider, Jen wants a prenup and Johnhas no problem signing one \u2014 \u201che\u2019s not intimidated and isn\u2019t marrying Jen for her fortune\u201d which is reported to be $80 million. \u201cJen is sure John\u2019s The One and that this marriage is going to last, but she\u2019s wise enough to know there are no guarantees.\u201d She is prepared to accept this risk.\n\n\n\n

She\u2019s finally in a position where she thinks she can concentrate on her own happiness, after years of putting her kids first and providing a secure home for them.\n\n\n\n

The source describes John as being kind and attentive. \u201cHe\u2019s a great guy who loves and values her. She deserves this.\u201d\n\n\n\n
