Miller, about 46, brushed his light brown hair forward and sported a scruffy beard.
He casually hooked his dark framed glasses on his shirt neck.
Miller is an attorney and is currently serving as the CEO of CaliBurger and its parent company CaliGroup.
The couple were seen laughing with someone nearby as they made their way to their car.
It’s been reported the actress offered her friendship to Affleck, 52, in the lead up to his divorce from Jennifer Lopez, 55, after two years of marriage.
However, Garner attempting to help Ben caused a ‘divide’ in her own relationship with Miller,
‘John doesn’t like sharing Jen and there is a divide when it comes to her and Ben,’ the insider expressed, adding that Miller had concerns with how much time the 13 Going On 30 actress put into the Ben and Lopez split.
‘He wishes it wasn’t like that because he understands they are a family, but it gets to him like it would anyone.’

‘John doesn’t have any fears that they are getting back together – but it has been tough coping with her support for Ben during his split from JLo,’ the source continued.
In the wake of the divorce news, the insider said of Garner and Miller’s relationship: ‘Bumpy roads recently are looking to be smoothed out.’
‘Both Jen and John are hoping for that. It is just going to take a little time. They both want to be in a better place, but some work needs to be done.’
The actress and Miller ‘haven’t split’ and expressed that their ‘friends feel that they will be together for a long time. They are very private.’
Since their split in 2018, both Garner and Affleck have worked to have a good co-parenting relationship for the sake of their children Violet, 18, Fin, 15, and Sam, 12.
‘His kids are taking it fine as are [Lopez’s]. Everybody is ready to move on’, a source told Page Six. Lopez shares her twins Emme and Max, 16, with her ex-husband Marc Anthony.
Garner has several projects listed as being in pre-production on IMDB.com, including the crime series Can’t Go Home.
She stars as fugitive recovery agent KD Williams, who, along with her partner, played by Tom Mariano, finds herself in too deep with the criminal gangs of Boston.
The show is scheduled to debut December 29.
In keeping with her lighter side, the versatile actress will be getting into the holiday spirit and demonstrating her comedic skills as Mrs. Claus.
