Jennifer Garner gushes over ex Michael Vartan with ‘Alias’ flashback photo

Jennifer Garner is still on very good terms with her ex-boyfriend, Michael Vartan.

The actress gushed over her former beau in an Instagram post on Monday, Nov. 28, marking his 55th birthday.

“I can’t remember why I was Bavarian, but I do know today is your birthday. I hope it’s a great one, Michael! XX S. Bristow,” the “13 Going on 30” actress, 51, wrote.

In the photo, Garner is wearing German clothing while holding up a broken glass beer mug.

In 2018, she also celebrated his milestone 50th birthday with another throwback.

“Can you believe this baby face is 50?!” she captioned an Instagram photo at the time. “Happy birthday, #MichaelVartan,” she continued, adding the hashtags “#alwaysanALIASgirl” and “#sydneyandvaughnforever.”

The “Family Switch” actress has been romantically linked to businessman John Miller since 2018. Affleck, for his part, rekindled his relationship with ex-fiancée Jennifer Lopez in 2021 and tied the knot in July 2022.

Vaughn, who starred alongside Lopez in 2005’s “Monster-in-Law” opposite Jane Fonda, was married to real estate broker Lauren Skaar from 2011 to 2014.
