Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek's network of contributors

Jennifer Garner and boyfriend John Miller were spotted sharing a cozy stroll through the streets of Santa Monica, California, on Monday, April 29.

The couple, who have kept their relationship largely out of the public eye since they began dating in 2018, appeared relaxed and joyful as they walked hand in hand on a quiet morning. A source previously told PEOPLE in 2023 that the couple "like[s] to date out of the spotlight."

In the photos obtained by Daily Mail, Garner, 52, donned a simple yet elegant ensemble, sporting a black turtleneck paired with comfortable sweatpants and white sneakers. Her relaxed attire was complemented by her signature short brown hair and sunglasses, while she casually carried her phone. Beside her, Miller, opted for a laid-back look with a navy New York t-shirt, black sweatpants, and dark sneakers, holding his phone and keys as they enjoyed their day out.

Miller, is the CEO of CaliGroup, where he oversees Miso Robotics and a chain of about 50 CaliBurger restaurants worldwide. He's also a father of two children, Violet and Quest, from his previous marriage to violinist Caroline Campbell. Garner is also a parent to three children with her ex-husband Ben Affleck: Violet, 17; Seraphina, 14; and Samuel, 11.

Garner met Miller around the time she was finalizing her divorce from Affleck, and started dating him shortly thereafter. Despite their separation, Garner and her former husband continue to communicate and co-parent their children. During the summer of 2018, Garner was even seen driving Affleck to an alcohol addiction treatment center in Malibu. This visit in August was Affleck's third time in rehabilitation, his first being prior to his 2001 marriage to Garner.

This recent sighting comes shortly after the couple was seen enjoying a similar outing in Los Angeles on April 24. During the walk, the actress was dressed for the spring weather in blue jeans and a colorful striped sweater, while her beau wore jeans and a denim jacket with a fur-like trim, paired with brown boots and a light-blue button-up shirt.
