Jennifer Garner and her longtime partner John Miller are embracing a quiet and cosy holiday season, choosing simplicity over spectacle as they continue to keep their relationship largely out of the public eye. A recent low-key Christmas moment offered a rare glimpse into the couple’s calm and grounded life together.
The pair were photographed on December 22 exchanging a festive tin of cookies outside a dark-colored vehicle, a small yet meaningful gesture that reflected their comfortable and familiar dynamic. Both dressed casually for the outing, Miller opted for a beige sweater paired with jeans, while Garner kept things relaxed in a gray sweatshirt and black leggings.
Though understated, the moment highlighted the ease the couple shares after years of being together. Garner, 53, and Miller, 47, have been in an on-again, off-again relationship since 2018, consistently choosing privacy over public attention. Despite rarely speaking about their romance, sources close to the pair say their bond has quietly grown stronger with time.
According to a source who previously spoke to Us Weekly, Miller has been spending significantly more time at Garner’s home in recent months. The insider shared that Miller is “basically living with Jennifer part-time,” having moved out of his own Los Angeles residence earlier this year.
Miller, who was previously married to musician Caroline Campbell and shares two children with her, has reportedly blended seamlessly into Garner’s family life. The actress shares three children — Violet, 19, Seraphina, 16, and Samuel, 13 — with her former husband Ben Affleck, whom she was married to for a decade before their 2015 divorce.
While Garner and Miller continue to avoid the spotlight, moments like their recent holiday cookie exchange offer a warm and genuine look at a relationship defined by stability, comfort, and shared time — especially meaningful during the festive season.
