Ben Affleck has been spotted spending time with Kick Kennedy, the 36-year-old daughter of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., amid his divorce from Jennifer Lopez. The nature of their relationship remains unclear as representatives for both Affleck and Kennedy have not commented on the situation. Affleck has been seen with Kennedy at various hotspots such as the Polo Lounge at the Beverly Hills Hotel, sparking speculation about the status of their relationship.
Jennifer Lopez, who is 55 years old, filed for divorce from Ben Affleck, who is 52 years old, on Tuesday after months of breakup rumors. The couple’s marriage had reportedly ended in March, although Lopez listed their date of separation as April 26, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for their split. One significant factor in their breakup may have been Affleck’s discomfort with the media attention and paparazzi that came with their relationship, as he has always valued his privacy.
Sources close to Affleck have revealed that he has always prioritized his need for solitude and self-care, and has never fully committed himself to another person. This characteristic may have been one of the issues in his marriage with Lopez, as she believed in a kind of all-consuming love and devotion that Affleck could not fully provide. Lopez reportedly feels embarrassed and humiliated by their failed marriage, as she had believed that they were finally going to make their love work, only to be disappointed by Affleck’s lack of commitment.
Lopez is said to be furious and humiliated by Affleck’s behavior, especially since he was the one who initiated their reunion. Despite her efforts to save their marriage, Affleck showed no interest in making it work, ultimately leading Lopez to prioritize her own well-being. The couple eloped in Las Vegas in July 2022, 20 years after their original engagement, and later held a formal ceremony for family and friends at Affleck’s estate in Georgia. However, their reconciliation was short-lived, as they ultimately decided to divorce due to irreconcilable differences.
Affleck’s involvement with Kick Kennedy may be a new development in his personal life following his split from Lopez. The details of their relationship are currently unknown, but their public outings together have raised eyebrows and sparked curiosity among fans and the media. As both Affleck and Kennedy have remained silent on the matter, it is unclear what the future holds for their relationship and how it may impact Affleck’s divorce from Lopez.
