Ben Affleck Spotted With a Kennedy: Is He Already Rebounding From Jennifer Lopez?
Jennifer Lopez was the one to file divorce paperwork, but her soon-to-be ex-husband, Ben Affleck, has been making moves of his own. Since Lopez filed for divorce, Affleck has been keeping himself busy. He dropped his daughter off at college and spent quality time with his first ex-wife, Jennifer Garner. He was also spotted entertaining friends, including a possible new lady.
Ben Affleck has been seen out on the town with Kick Kennedy, and rumors suggest they are dating. Could he be rebounding from his marriage with a member of the famed political family?
Ben Affleck has been spotted with Kick Kennedy
It seems Ben Affleck is ready to move on from Jennifer Lopez. Now that the singer has officially filed for divorce, Affleck has been spotted out and about more and more. He is changing up who he spends his time with, too.
According to Page Six, Affleck was spotted out and about in Los Angeles with Kick Kennedy. The publication alleges the duo were seen spending time together at The Polo Lounge and several other celebrity hangout spots.
Kick Kennedy is the daughter of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. She is a 36-year-old Stanford graduate. Her younger brother, Conor Kennedy, had a brush with Hollywood dating over a decade ago. Conor was briefly involved with Taylor Swift in the summer of 2012, when he was still a teen.
Affleck-Kennedy romance reports are being denied
While Ben Affleck was spotted around town with Kick Kennedy, an insider insists they are not a couple and are not dating. Instead, they insist, Affleck and Kennedy are just great pals.
TMZ spoke to an insider who claims Kennedy and Affleck have been friends for a while. Still, Page Six insists there is more to the story. The publication alleges that Kick Kennedy’s celebrity crush has always been Ben Affleck.
While it’s unclear when or how the maybe-pair met, he has never been spotted in public with her in the past, before, during, or after his romance with Jennifer Lopez. Kick Kennedy refused to comment on the reports, according to several publications.
When did Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck split?
it might seem like it’s a bit soon for Ben Affleck to be romancing a new woman, but he’s actually been separated for a bit already. While Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce just this month, the couple lived separately for months. Lopez listed the couple’s official separation date as April 26, 2024.
According to the date Lopez listed, she and Affleck hadn’t been together for four months when she filed for divorce. There is also reason to believe the split happened even before the date Lopez listed. Rumors that Affleck was living apart from Lopez surfaced about a month earlier. All told, it seems likely that the couple’s marriage was over for about six months before divorce paperwork was filed. Affleck and Lopez married in August 2022. Regardless, whether or not he’s starting something new with Kick Kennedy remains to be seen.
