One comment writer on X thought that Affleck and Garner “look like they are a couple now. Both in sloppy clothes like they dressed from the floor.”

However, People reported that Garner is in a relationship with businessman John Miller and has been off and on since 2018. According to People, Garner is happy with Miller, although the couple tends to keep their relationship lower-key and out of the spotlight.

“JLO is alone and radiant ✨” another person wrote on X. “Why does Ben always dress frumpy ?” commented another X writer.

Lopez spoke extensively about trying to be happy without a relationship in an interview she gave to Interview Magazine. In that interview, she discussed her painful summer, without naming Affleck, and she said that she attributed her romantic troubles to a difficult childhood in which she felt ignored. According to the interview, Lopez indicated that she is not rushing to find another romantic relationship any time soon. Rather, she said that she was trying to work on self-improvement without needing a relationship. Lopez has been married four times. Lopez was Affleck’s second wife. Affleck has not commented on the couple’s romantic troubles and he indicated in Lopez’s documentary, “The Greatest Love Story Never Told,” that he was less comfortable with public attention than she is.
