Jennifer Garner Bans Ben Affleck From Her Wedding With John Miller; See Details

Jennifer Garner and her fiancé John Miller are getting married this summer. But one person won’t be at the wedding—her ex-husband Ben Affleck. Reports say Miller doesn’t want Affleck anywhere near the ceremony.

The couple has been together since 2018. They are now planning a small, private wedding. But Affleck, who shares three kids with Garner, is not on the guest list. Sources say Miller set strict rules to keep Affleck away.

Why Ben Affleck Is Banned

John Miller was upset after seeing photos of Affleck hugging Garner at their son’s paintball party in March. He gave Garner an ultimatum—limit contact with Affleck or he would leave the relationship. Garner agreed, and now Miller is taking it further by banning Affleck from the wedding.

“John is happy his previous ultimatum worked and Ben’s not stinking up their romance with his clinginess, but now he’s taking his hard-line tactics a step further and insisting that Ben be banned from the wedding,” a source told RadarOnline.

Miller has moved into Garner’s Brentwood home. He wants their wedding day to be about them, not Affleck. “Having Ben there would attract too much attention and distract from the meaning and purpose of their special day, plus it would be a nightmare for John to have to talk to Ben,” the source added.

Garner’s Relationship With Affleck

Garner and Affleck divorced in 2018 after 13 years of marriage. They have remained close for their kids—Violet, 19, Fin, 16, and Samuel, 13. Affleck even stayed at Garner’s home temporarily during his divorce from Jennifer Lopez in 2024.

Garner has tried to explain to Miller that Affleck is like family. “Jen has tried to tell John that Ben’s like a brother to her, but so far John’s not budging,” the source said. Miller understands Affleck will always be in Garner’s life but wants boundaries.

How Ben Affleck Feels About the Ban

Affleck is not happy about the wedding ban. “No doubt it won’t sit well with him,” a source said. “He feels like he’s been forced to sacrifice a lot for John.”

Despite the tension, Garner is focused on her future with Miller. The wedding is expected to be small, with only close family and friends. Miller’s two kids from his previous marriage will also attend.

Past Issues Between Miller and Affleck

This isn’t the first time Miller has clashed with Affleck. Earlier, he was upset about Affleck’s frequent visits to Garner’s home. He also didn’t like how Affleck hugged Garner in public.

Garner has tried to keep peace between both men. But Miller is firm on his decision. He wants the wedding to be drama-free and doesn’t want Affleck stealing the spotlight.

What’s Next for Garner and Miller

The couple is planning a summer wedding. They want a simple ceremony without any distractions. Garner is reportedly okay with Miller’s demands, even if it means excluding Affleck.

Miller has been supportive of Garner, especially during Affleck’s divorce from Lopez. “John was extraordinarily understanding, which made Jen fall even more in love with him,” an insider told Life & Style.

Garner and Miller have been on and off since 2018 but are now serious about marriage. They consider themselves “informally engaged” for over a year. The wedding will finally make it official.

Fan Reactions

Fans are divided over the decision. Some support Miller’s boundaries, while others think Garner should stand up for Affleck.

“John has every right to set limits. It’s their wedding, not Ben’s,” one fan commented online.

“Jen and Ben have kids together. He should at least be invited,” another argued.

Final Thoughts

Jennifer Garner is moving forward with John Miller, even if it means leaving Ben Affleck out of her wedding. The couple wants a peaceful, private ceremony. But the decision has caused tension, especially for Affleck.

The wedding is set for summer 2025. Only time will tell if Affleck accepts the ban or if Garner changes her mind.
