Jennifer Garner recently enjoyed a night out with friends.

On Friday, the "Camping star" was photographed in a simple but chic skirt and a nude jumper as she left Giorgio Baldi restaurant in Santa Monica. Ben Affleck’s ex complemented her outfit with a pair of black cat eye-style glasses, gray suede brogues and a matching brown clutch bag.

Garner reportedly had a low-key dinner with her friends in the eatery. Garner was also pictured hugging her pals as they parted ways.

It was a solo outing for Garner, who is rumored to be close to getting engaged with her boyfriend, John Miller. An insider previously told Us Weekly that Miller and Garner are more in love than ever, adding that the couple may walk down the aisle soon for a more permanent commitment.

“No one would be surprised if they got engaged by summer,” the source said. “John has discussed marrying Jen.”

The insider added that Garner likes her current love because he is normal and their relationship doesn’t come with too much drama. However, the mother of three hasn’t fully disclosed how serious she and Miller are to her three children with Affleck: Violet, Seraphina and Samuel.

Miller and Garner were first reported to be dating in October after they were photographed by paparazzi together. However, the “Peppermint” star remained mum about their romance on social media.

In related news, Garner’s ex-husband reportedly recently contacted his ex-girlfriend, Lindsay Shookus. A source confirmed that they have been seeing each other again. Affleck is reportedly in a much better place health-wise and is a lot happier. Affleck and Shookus dated for over a year but split in August 2018 after the Oscar winner was spotted with Playboy model Shauna Sexton.

Affleck checked into another round of rehab due to substance abuse at around the same time he and Sexton ended their two-month fling. Chances are high that Affleck and Shookus will rekindle their romance because, according to the source, they have “always really liked each other and that hasn’t changed.”

Garner and Affleck are co-parenting their three children, so from time to time, they are spotted together. Sometimes they attend church together with their kids. They also reunite in different events to support their children’s activities.
