Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez have made headlines recently following their public separation, with Lopez filing for divorce on August 23 after two years of marriage. Now, reports have emerged that Affleck may already be spending time with another woman. According to Page Six, the 52-year-old actor has been seen hanging out with Kathleen “Kick” Kennedy, the 36-year-old daughter of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Numerous sources have confirmed to PEOPLE that Affleck and Kick Kennedy, an actress and activist, have been spotted together on multiple occasions. One insider revealed, “Kick and Ben have been spending time together, but I’m not sure what’s happening. Kick’s celeb crush has always been Ben.” The source added that they were unsure of how or when the two first met, noting that Kick is known for her lively personality and love of a good time.
However, conflicting reports have emerged. A second insider claimed, “I don’t think they even know each other. There’s definitely nothing going on.” Despite these differing accounts, another source mentioned that Affleck and Kick have reportedly been spending time together since late spring, with sightings at various locations, including the Polo Lounge at the Beverly Hills Hotel. The nature of their relationship remains unclear, but it has certainly sparked curiosity given Kick’s prominent family background.
Born on April 13, 1988, Kathleen “Kick” Kennedy is more than just a member of the famous Kennedy clan. While her family is deeply rooted in American politics, Kick chose to forge her own path in the entertainment industry as an actress. In the past, she has been romantically linked to Harper Simon, son of musician Paul Simon, from 2013 to 2014, and later dated millionaire Matthew Mellon before his passing in 2018.
Affleck, on the other hand, was previously married to Jennifer Garner from 2005 to 2018, with whom he shares three children. After his divorce from Garner, Affleck rekindled his romance with Jennifer Lopez, leading to their marriage before their recent split.
As the public speculates about the details of Affleck’s connection with Kick Kennedy, the actor remains in the spotlight amid the ongoing developments in his personal life.
