Jen Garner’s boyfriend reportedly isn’t cool with Ben’s recent interviews

Ben Affleck may feel good about baring his soul in a series of interviews lately promoting his movie, The Way Back, as he discusses his sobriety and reflects about his failed marriage to Jennifer Garner, because as many people know talking about something can help to destigmatize it and create a space for empathy. At the same time Affleck may be reopening old wounds for his ex-wife, something her new flame doesn’t seem to be very cool with.According to a source cited by Us Weekly, John Miller isn’t okay with Affleck’s recent interviews, and they’re making him feel a little uneasy. The reports claim that Miller is getting “uncomfortable” with the openness and raw feelings that are being shared during Affleck’s The Way Back press tour, because he’s worried how it’s all going to affect Garner.“John is empathetic to Ben’s struggles with sobriety but he worries about how Jennifer has once again become the focus,” a source told the publication. “The spotlight on Jennifer is intense and Ben needs to consider her feelings before speaking so publicly.”[video_embed id='1908494']RELATED: Ben Affleck says 'The Way Back' reminded him why he loves making movies[/video_embed]The source is also quick to point out there’s no beef between Miller and Affleck. If anything, Miller has been supportive of Garner’s ex spending time with her and their three kids and is down with creating a positive space for their new blended-family dynamic. But apparently, following these interviews, he’s worried that Affleck is secretly trying to reel Garner back into his life in an even more meaningful way.“John believes Ben would remarry Jennifer if she wanted to get back together,” the insider continued. “John wants to marry Jennifer but knows she isn’t ready yet.”“I never thought that I was gonna get divorced. I didn’t want to get divorced. I didn’t want to be a divorced person. I really didn’t want to be a split family with my children,” Affleck recently told Diane Sawyer. “And it upset me because it meant I wasn’t who I thought I was. And that was so painful and so disappointing in myself.”To be fair, Garner has yet to weigh in on the matter herself, and Affleck hasn’t exactly made any public proclamations. Well, other than saying his divorce is the biggest regret of his life, that is.[video_embed id='1904096']RELATED: Why Ben Affleck regrets his divorce from Jennifer Garner[/video_embed]As fans who coveted Ben and Jen’s relationship back in the day probably remember, the pair dated for a year before getting hitched in 2005; they were together for more than a decade before splitting following rumours of Affleck having an affair with their former nanny, Christine Ouzounian. They made their divorce official in 2018 but have remained strong co-parents in the years since. Garner has even been instrumental in helping Affleck get the help he needs to maintain his sobriety, which he says has been a big challenge.“Relapse is embarrassing, obviously,” Affleck said of his ongoing struggles in a recent New York Times interview. “I wish it didn’t happen. I really wish it wasn’t on the internet for my kids to see. Jen and I did our best to address it and be honest.”[video_embed id='1891046']BEFORE YOU GO: Pam Anderson and new beau call it quits[/video_embed]
