Ben Affleck spotted with RFK Jr's daughter Kick Kennedy amid ongoing Jennifer Lopez divorce

SAVANNAH, GEORGIA: Ben Affleck was reportedly seen with a new acquaintance amid his divorce proceedings with Jennifer Lopez.

Sources revealed that Affleck was spotted with Robert F Kennedy Jr's daughter Kick Kennedy, 36, even before the details of his divorce from Lopez hadn't been finalized.

This news surfaced shortly after Lopez filed for divorce on Tuesday, August 20.

Are Ben Affleck and Kick Kennedy friends?

Ben Affleck and Kick Kennedy have been spotted together at various hotspots, including the Polo Lounge at the Beverly Hills Hotel, Page Six reported. The nature of their relationship remains unclear, with some sources suggesting they are simply hanging out.

The representatives of Affleck and Kick have not yet given any statement on the nature of their relationship.

Kick, in contrast to her father, has steered clear of politics and followed a path of acting. Therefore, they could be discussing a potential role in an upcoming film.

Kick, originally named Kathleen Agnes Cavendish, was named after her great-aunt who perished in a plane crash in France at age 28. Kick is one of two children RFK Jr has with Emily Black from his first marriage.

Her acting career includes roles in films like 'Teacher of the Year', 'Fear and Loathing in Aspen', 'Heaven’s Point', etc.

Ben Affleck’s divorce from Jennifer Lopez

Jennifer Lopez, 55, filed for divorce from Ben Affleck, 52, on August 20, amid months of speculation regarding their separation.

It is reported that the marriage had ended in March, although the 'On the Floor' singer recorded the date of separation as April 26.

She attributed their separation to irreconcilable differences.

It was speculated that Affleck may have been unable to tolerate the media scrutiny over their relationship.

In 2022, Page Six reported that the 'Argo' star panicked during their honeymoon in Paris because of the paparazzi, reminiscent of the reasons their initial relationship ended: the intensity of media attention.

An insider close to Affleck said that he is not embarrassed by his need for solitude and is, “proud of the fact that he always has and always will take care of himself.”

A source close to Lopez told Page Six earlier in August that she is feeling embarrassed about the failure of their marriage, having been certain that she and Affleck would make their relationship work this time.

Lopez reportedly made fervent attempts to salvage their marriage, while Affleck seemed indifferent.

“He hasn’t shown any commitment and interest in making their marriage work. It’s gotten to the point that she just needs to look out for herself,” a source told the outlet earlier this week.

The couple eloped in Las Vegas in July 2022, two decades after their initial engagement. Weeks later, they hosted a formal ceremony for family and friends at Affleck's estate in Georgia.
