Jennifer Garner set off engagement rumors with her businessman boyfriend John Miller when she was spotted in Los Angeles this weekend.
She was seen wearing a sparkling diamond ring on her left hand fourth finger, accompanied by another slender gold band.
The 52-year-old actress has been quietly dating John since 2018, reportedly splitting from him in 2020 only to reunite in 2021.
In October, Jennifer was spotted wearing a gold band on her engagement finger, eliciting speculation that wedding bells were in her future.
This Saturday she poured fuel on the fire, wearing a diamond bauble that dazzled in the sunlight as she drove her car during a solo outing.
Before her relationship with John, she was married to Ben Affleck, with whom she shares her children Violet, 19, Fin, 15, and Samuel, 12.

Jennifer and Ben tied the knot in 2005 and separated in 2015 but have retained a famously amicable co-parenting relationship since their split.
Meanwhile, a source claimed in October that Jennifer and John are planning a wedding next spring in Paris, where she allegedly went shopping for a bridal gown.
‘Jen and John have taken a lot more trips to Europe than people realize. Paris is one of their favorite escapes and they’ve decided getting married there this coming spring is something they want to do,’ the insider dished.
The source also noted that a large ceremony in the French capital would be a marked contrast to when Jennifer and Ben eloped to Turks And Caicos in 2005.
‘This time around she wants a big wedding in a dream location and John is all for it. He loves the idea of giving her something that Ben never did, so he’s totally encouraging her to go all out. He’s got plenty of money and wants to totally spoil her,’ the insider shared with In Touch Weekly.
At the beginning of this month, another insider said Jennifer was ‘very happy with’ John and ‘spends a lot of time with him,’ seeing him ‘almost every day.’
The source explained that Jennifer and Ben spent the day of Thanksgiving volunteering with their children, and then John spent the night at her house.
‘Jen truly just wants her kids to be happy. She will continue to make sure that they spend time together as a family and include Ben,’ the source informed People.

The insider said Ben and Jennifer also have plans to spend time with their children over Christmas, but that their relationship with each other is strictly platonic.
‘The kids enjoy when they all spend time together. Jen’s grateful that Ben’s doing well. They are friends, but that’s it,’ explained the insider.
Jennifer is said to have been a source of support for Ben amid the implosion of his marriage to his latest wife, pop superstar Jennifer Lopez.
JLo filed for divorce in August on her and Ben’s second wedding anniversary, after months of rumors that their relationship was on the brink of collapse.
An insider has said Ben regarded himself as ‘blessed’ to spend Thanksgiving with Jennifer Garner, with whom he feels he ‘can just be himself,’ via Page Six.
‘Even though Ben and Jen have been split for a while now, he feels a certain level of comfort with her,’ the source explained.
‘Ben has a strong relationship with Jen that will never dissipate because they have a lot of history together and she’s the mother of his kids.’
He and Jennifer separated in 2015 amid an explosion of reports that he had an affair with the family’s nanny Christine Ouzounian.

However Jennifer later clarified: ‘Let me just tell you something. We had been separated for months before I ever heard about the nanny,’ via Vanity Fair.
They retained a famously tight close-parenting bond and were frequently spotted together taking their children to church in Los Angeles.
When Ben relapsed into alcoholism in 2018, Jennifer reportedly staged an intervention, armed with a sober coach and a Bible.
She was then seen driving him to rehab, handing him a takeout bag of Jack-In-The-Box as he sat appearing bleary and red-faced in the backseat.
Prior to Ben, Jennifer was married from 2000 until 2004 to actor Scott Foley, a TV star from such shows as Felicity, Scrubs and Scandal.
