Jennifer Garner and John Miller got together in April 2018. While Garner had been separated from Ben Affleck for years, she was still legally married to him. Affleck and Garner only filed for divorce in April 2017, though it was finalized in October 2018, shortly before the media caught wind of her new relationship. In fact, Garner was the one who sought to have her case expedited so it would become final sooner, Us Weekly reported.
Maybe her blossoming romance with Miller motivated her to act? It’s hard to know, but he was also in a similar position. Miller split from Caroline Campbell in 2014, but the two remained legally bound until November 2018. Unlike Garner and Affleck’s divorce, which was carried out amicably for the most part, Miller and Campbell’s seemed bitter. During the proceedings, the violinist accused her soon-to-be ex-husband of shady behavior.

Campbell said Miller was asking for shared physical custody to avoid having to pay child support. “Because I wanted to avoid his anger and minimize the impact of the pending divorce on our children, I chose to ‘keep the peace’ by reluctantly agreeing to equally shared physical custody,” she said, per The Blast. Campbell also contended she was kept in the dark. “Oh, apparently my divorce is finalized,” she wrote in a since-deleted Instagram post in November 2018. “I just found out on the internet.. Lol!!”
