How long Garner and Miller have been together

Garner and Miller met through mutual friends and began dating in 2018. For the most part, they have kept their relationship under wraps and aren’t seen in public much. But Garner’s former co-star Victor Garber shared his thoughts about Miller after meeting him.

“I have [met him]. I think he’s adorable,” Garber, who starred with Garner as the father-daughter duo Sydney and Jack Bristow on the TV series Alias, told Us Weekly in 2019. “They’re great! What’s wonderful is they’re taking their time and they are just enjoying each other’s company. Her priority is her children. That’s it. She’s focused on that. She’s remarkable … She’s happy.”

Reports surfaced in August 2020 that the two called it quits. But by May 2021, they rekindled their romance and have been together ever since.

What their age difference is

Unlike some of Garner’s past partners, Miller does not work in the entertainment industry. He is the CEO of Cali Group, which owns the CaliBurger chain of restaurants. Cali Group also has investments in technology companies involved in robotic automation and AI for restaurants and facial recognition for payment.

He and Garner share an interest in food as she is the co-founder of the baby food company Once Upon a Farm.

As for their age difference, Garner was born in 1972 while Miller was born in 1978. That makes the 13 Going on 30 actor six years older than her beau.
