Jennifer Garner seen kissing boyfriend John Miller, as she spends time with Ben Affleck for Easter
On Saturday, Garner and Miller were spotted outside of her home, sharing an intimate kiss before Miller hopped in his truck and drove away.
Garner has been romantically linked to Miller, chairman of CaliGroup, since 2018. While the two took a break from dating at one point, they have been going strong since 2023, People magazine reported.
Garner's kiss with her boyfriend came the day before she and her ex-husband Ben Affleck reunited for Easter Sunday with their son, Samuel, 13.
Affleck and Garner were married for 10 years and share three children together.
According to Page Six, Affleck and Samuel were seen leaving World Market with their hands full of bags before heading back to his Brentwood home. The outlet reported that Garner was photographed leaving Affleck's home later in the day on Sunday.
It's unclear if Affleck and Garner's two older children spent Easter Sunday with their parents.
Garner and Affleck's co-parenting relationship has recently been at the center of attention as the former couple has been spotted out and about together.
In March, Affleck and Garner were seen smiling the whole time during a paintball party for their son. They had "a bunch of good energy around them," a source told Fox News Digital about the outing. "You can just tell they were mainly there for their kid."
The co-parenting seemed "very great," and they had a "very good time," the insider added. "Nothing bad between them."
That same month, Affleck praised Garner during an interview with GQ magazine.
"And I'm really lucky that I have a really good co-parent and partner in Jennifer Garner, the kids' mom, who's wonderful and great, and we work together well."
"And I'm really lucky that I have a really good co-parent and partner in Jennifer Garner, the kids' mom, who's wonderful and great, and we work together well," he said.
Last month, an expert told Fox News Digital that Affleck and Garner have maintained a level of "emotional intimacy" post divorce. Affleck and Garner's behavior indicates they "still share emotional intimacy," body language expert Nicole Moore told Fox News Digital.
The "Alias" star and Affleck married in 2005. They announced their separation in 2015.
"After much thought and careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to divorce," the couple said in a joint statement at the time. "We go forward with love and friendship for one another and a commitment to co-parenting our children whose privacy we ask to be respected during this difficult time. This will be our only comment on this private, family matter. Thank you for understanding."
However, Garner and Affleck didn't finalize their divorce for another three years. During that time, Affleck went to rehab twice, and the two underwent marriage counseling.
After his divorce from Garner, Affleck rekindled his relationship with Jennifer Lopez. The couple's marriage lasted roughly two years. Lopez and Affleck married in 2022 and finalized their divorce in January 2025.

8 signs that you should leave a restaurant, experts say
Not every restaurant outing offers a five-star experience — and diners don't always need to taste the food to know something is off. From management gaps to social media hype, key signs can tip you off early to a disappointing experience, say restaurant insiders. These red flags suggest a restaurant may be struggling with service, quality or culture, according to experts. Any of these sound familiar when it comes to a restaurant you know? "Great managers are visible," Salar Sheik, a restaurant consultant based in Los Angeles, told Fox News Digital. "They touch tables, support staff and keep the energy up." In addition to operational duties like working with vendors and managing inventory, managers should be greeting customers, taking their feedback and helping out servers as needed, according to Indeed. "If you can't tell who's in charge, it might be because no one is," Sheik warned. While social media influencers can boost a restaurant's identity and draw people in, experts note they could be getting freebies or special treatment. "When every post or review is from a hosted experience, I can't trust that," Candy Hom, an Atlanta-based food critic, tour guide and chef, told Allrecipes. Their ring lights and food photo shoots can also put a damper on the experiences of other customers. "If it feels more like a photo shoot than a place to break bread, odds are the experience is built more for the 'gram than the guest," Sheik said. A restaurant with low traffic could also have slower food rotation, leading to fewer fresh ingredients, according to insiders. Context matters, Sheik said, but beware of dining rooms that are empty at peak hours. "Consistently empty restaurants often point to a loss of community trust – whether from poor service, declining quality or mismanagement," according to Sheik. The customer might not always be right, but experts say an argumentative staff member could be a sign of poor service standards and a breakdown among the team. "If they mess something up, they should try to make it up to you," Hom told Allrecipes. A waiter at a celebrity-owned restaurant once split her table's receipt five ways instead of six – then blamed the fact that he usually serves tables of five, Hom said. "Even if the food was good, the experience was ruined," she added. "If I hear and read about staffers alleging not-great work environments and management issues over and over again from trusted sources … I take those to heart," Nadia Chaudhury, an editor at Eater, told Allrecipes. Sheik said there are also signs to watch for while at the restaurant. "If you hear managers talking down to staff in front of guests, if your server seems visibly anxious or afraid to make a mistake, or if there's no energy, no personality, no smiles, it often means the culture is toxic or punitive," he said. Sticky menus and lipstick-stained glasses are bad enough, but Sheik pointed to the restrooms as the real test of cleanliness. "If those aren't clean, I guarantee you the kitchen's not being held to a higher standard," he said. Cleanliness is one of the most controllable elements of running a restaurant, he added. "If the team can't manage that, they're likely failing at much more complex things, too." "If your server has to guess ingredients or check on every question, it signals poor training and a lack of pride in the product," Sheik said. Menu knowledge is key to providing guests with accurate allergen information and enhancing their overall experience, according to Toast, a restaurant management system. If you're being upsold too much, it can be another sign of trouble. Servers should be enlightening guests, not harassing them, experts claim. "Suggestive selling is part of the job," Sheik said. "But when it feels like a script or desperation, it often means the restaurant is struggling to hit numbers and pushing sales at the cost of genuine hospitality."

When moose took over Toronto: Artists reflect on city art project, 25 years later
As people around the world welcomed a new millennium, Torontonians in the year 2000 were welcoming something even bigger – a herd of hundreds of life-size moose statues. Twenty-five years ago, Toronto launched its Moose in the City campaign, a project featuring 326 colourful moose statues decorated by artists and placed all over the city in an effort to usher in the new year with a boost for local tourism and art sectors. The project came at no cost to the city, according to council minutes from April 2000, and the statues were sponsored by various companies. The public could stumble upon the hoofed, herbivore masterpieces at locations including the CN Tower, Pearson Airport and city hall. Some of the artists involved say the project was emblematic of the city's culture and shows how municipalities can step up to support the art scene — even as some of the famed sculpted creatures have disappeared in the years since. Moose in the City was a 'great collaboration with the city' for artists, said Kelly Borgers, who was commissioned to do three of the statues. There was even a launch party for the project, with music and a sculpture parade. 'All the moose were all together. We pushed them on wheels down the street like a stampede,' she recalled. Borgers said she produced three statues: Park Moose, Driving Moose Daisy and Florence Moosingale. She's not sure what happened to the first two – decorated with nature scenes and granny glasses, respectively – but Florence lives in the city's midtown outside the headquarters of a home care agency. Lee Grunberg, the president and CEO of Integracare, said Florence used to get Valentine's Day cards addressed from another moose that's perched on the roof of a house in nearby Mount Pleasant neighbourhood. 'The people that bought these moose, they love the camaraderie of owning these moose,' Grunberg said. Borgers likes to drive by and see Florence once in a while, she said, and knowing her art is still out there 25 years later brings her joy. 'She's always dressed up in all different costumes, for Valentine's Day, for Easter, for Christmas, for Canada Day,' Borgers said with a laugh. 'It's awesome. I'm proud of my moose. She has a better wardrobe than I have.' Borgers said the project was symbolic of the fun to be had in the city, and it 'lightened things up.' 'I just think it had a good sense of humour, that was nice,' she said. 'Nobody saw moose and frowned.' Lindsay Davies, who is based in Aurora, Ont., said the project gave her and other artists a chance to 'show their thing.' Davies was commissioned by Belinda Stronach, daughter of billionaire businessman Frank Stronach, to paint a moose statue to look like former Toronto Maple Leafs goalie Curtis Joseph. The statue was complete with a jersey, hockey socks and a detailed goalie mask covering the moose's snout. It was placed in front of the Hockey Hall of Fame. 'I just felt totally honoured and absolutely thrilled where it ended up downtown on Front Street,' said Davies. Despite reports at the time of moose vandalism — including alleged antler thefts — Davies said she'd love to see the city do a similar project again, especially given the participants' diverse art styles. 'It's just wonderful, and it's very inspirational,' said Davies. 'I think the public in general really benefits from something like that.' Davies said her moose was auctioned for $25,000 that went to charity shortly after the project. Though she said she doesn't know where Curtis Joseph Moose is today, she theorizes he's somewhere in Little Britain, Ont., after a local bakery took ownership years ago. Toronto-based artist Teri Donovan said George Cohon, the founder of McDonald's Canada, brought up the public art idea with then-mayor Mel Lastman, who became very interested in the project and stood behind it. Donovan said she got involved after a friend sent her a brochure about the campaign and she ended up creating two sculptures: the Bay Street Moose and the Strawberry Moose with Whipped Cream. 'It was really an interesting thing to do. It had its challenges, of course, but in the end, it was a lot of fun,' she said. She isn't sure about the fate of her two moose, although she discovered through online research that the Bay Street sculpture was missing. There were controversies surrounding the project, she recalled. The quality of some sculptures was not very good, she said, and critics complained that the statues were not actually art. 'But it wasn't supposed to be high art, it was supposed to be a fun project for the city,' she said. Donovan remembers her neighbours and their kids routinely checking on the progress of one of her moose creations as she painted it in her driveway. 'I live in a quiet neighbourhood in the east end of Toronto and there isn't a lot of that kind of thing that happens here,' she said. Donovan said Moose in the City was a draw for tourists and it also helped raise money for charities as some of the moose were auctioned off. Laurel Brooks still has the moose her family purchased at auction and moved to their Muskoka cottage, where it stayed until 2012. She said her daughter and ex-husband initially wanted to get Tourist Moose, with a hat and a camera around her neck, but the bidding for that one was 'pretty competitive.' They ended up getting a moose built by Toronto District School Board students, she said. After separating from her ex-husband, Brooks brought the moose back to Toronto where it now sits on an elevated platform in her backyard. The sculpture, too big to fit through the garage or the side of the house, had to be hoisted and moved with ropes, she said. It's made of paper-mache, with layers coming off over the years, and has been repainted with red flowers that look like poppies. 'I just really liked it,' Brooks said with a laugh when asked if the hustle of moving the moose back and forth was worth it. 'It's just a cool thing to have.' — With files from Fatima Raza.

Julia Garner Recalls How She Convinced Madonna to Cast Her in Upcoming Bio Project: ‘I Owned It'
The "Ozark" star says the delayed Universal biopic is "supposed to still happen" after being shelved in 2023 Julia Garner is still ready to step into Madonna's 'Material Girl' shoes. The three-time Emmy Award winner confirmed on Monday's episode of the 'Smartless' podcast to hosts Will Arnett, Jason Bateman and Sean Hayes that the shelved Universal biopic is still in the works. More from TheWrap Lindsay Lohan's Toddler Son Thought She Was Trapped in the TV During 'GMA' Appearance: 'Mommy, Come Out!' | Video Greg Gutfeld Says Network Late Night Is 'Safe' and 'Suffocating': 'Beholden to Publicists and Celebrities' | Video Amazon Sets Medical Drama 'God Complex' for Development From Sonay Hoffman and Tommy Benjamin NBC Sets Fall Premieres for NBA, 'The Voice,' 'Brilliant Minds' and More 'Is that going to still happen?' Hayes asked, to which the 'Inventing Anna' actress responded, 'Yeah, I mean, that's supposed to still happen.' Garner admitted to the podcast trio that in order to hype herself up for the audition she thought to herself, 'What would Madonna do?' '[She would] convince you that she deserves, you know, to be in this room, and I owned it,' she said of her audition. 'I was kind of like, 'You can take it or leave it, but if you leave it, if I leave, then that's on you.'' 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps' actress said she was aware of the project and went into the audition just to prove to herself that she could do it. 'I wasn't a trained dancer and I had to learn how to dance and then dance in front of her and convince her that I can dance, basically,' she recalled. 'And sing. And sing with her!' After the feature film was delayed by Universal in 2023, Netflix and 'Stranger Things' producer and director Shawn Levy teamed up with the music legend about her life and career. The project is still in development, but it would be Levy's latest title with Netflix after 'The Perfect Couple' and 'All the Light We Cannot See.' It is unclear if the series will capture the 'Queen of Pop''s entire career and discography or if it will focus in on a specific time period of her life. Madonna has made several attempts over the years to get a biopic about her life and career off the ground. Madonna intended to direct the Julia Garner-led film version of the story. Erin Cressida Wilson and Diablo Cody worked on the script for Universal before it was shelved by the studio. The upcoming Levy limited series is completely unrelated to the Universal feature. Madonna brought out Garner to perform with her on her 'Celebration' tour in 2023 for a segment themed to her hit 'Vogue.' The pair have remained in touch, with the 'Ozark' star posting with the music legend at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in March with the caption: ' see you @madonna.'
