Amid the whirlwind surrounding his recent split from Jennifer Lopez, Ben Affleck has garnered media attention for his alleged relationship with Kick Kennedy, the 36-year-old daughter of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. This new connection has sparked speculation and rumors, further fueling public interest in the actor’s personal life.
According to a Hollywood source cited by Page Six, Affleck and Kennedy have been spotted together at several high-profile locations, including the Polo Lounge at the Beverly Hills Hotel.
These encounters have fueled speculation about the nature of their relationship, which has yet to be officially confirmed. Meanwhile, Kick Kennedy has chosen to remain silent, and Affleck’s representatives have not responded to requests for comment.
Romance in the midst of divorce?
The news comes just days after Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce from Ben Affleck, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split. Lopez, 55, filed on Tuesday, marking the end of her marriage to Affleck, 52, after just two years. Though the end of the relationship had been rumored since March, Lopez specified April 26 as the date of the formal separation.
The divorce has been surrounded by speculation about the pressures they faced as a couple. According to previous reports, Affleck felt overwhelmed by the media attention his relationship with Lopez attracted. In 2022, Page Six even reported that the actor became frightened during their honeymoon in Paris due to the invasive presence of paparazzi, which revived memories of his tumultuous first relationship with Lopez in the early 2000s.
Despite the split, a source close to Affleck has indicated that he is handling the situation in his reserved manner. The source said that the actor has never completely given his personal life over to another person and that his need for solitude is an integral part of his identity.
While attention is focused on Affleck’s newfound bond with Kick Kennedy, the future of their relationship remains uncertain. Only time will tell what the future holds for the actor and Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s daughter as they continue to navigate the turbulent waters of public and personal life.
