BREAKING: Love is not dead! Jennifer Garner and her low-key, high-stability boo John Miller were spotted engaging in PDA—that’s Public Display of Affection, not Peanut-Butter-Dipped Apples, though we support both—over Easter weekend, and honestly, it’s giving “Notebook,” but like, the chill Costco version.
Despite whispers in the Hollywood grapevine (aka gossip blogs with names like “Spillz” and “CelebSnaccs”) that things might be rocky, Jen and John are still out here proving the haters wrong and the romantics right.
The duo, who’ve been dating on and off longer than it takes me to commit to a Netflix show, were seen in L.A. rocking matching denim. That’s right—Canadian tuxedos for the win. Beyoncé has Jay-Z, Taylor had her scarf, and Jennifer Garner? She’s got a man and a jean jacket.
Now, brace yourself, because this next part might melt your cold, dead heart: Jennifer stood on her tiptoes to kiss John goodbye as he hopped into his truck. I repeat: tiptoes. That’s rom-com gold. That’s “13 Going on 30” energy. That’s “please someone write fanfiction about this moment” levels of adorable.
Now, there was a bit of drama in the air—because of course there was. Rumors swirled like an overpriced oat milk latte that John wasn’t too thrilled about Jen hanging out and LOL-ing with her ex-husband Ben Affleck at their kid’s paintball party. (Yes, apparently A-list parents also get paint splattered in the name of co-parenting.)
But look—Jen and John have been doing this dance for nearly seven years. That’s longer than some reality TV marriages and most of my houseplants. So let’s all take a breath, stop panic-texting our group chats about it, and just be happy that love is alive, denim is coordinated, and Jennifer Garner is still out here being adorable on tiptoe.
