Affleck and Lopez dated in the early 2000s but ended their relationship in 2004. Now, as the second split drama unfolds, Affleck is caught up in new dating rumors only days after J. Lo filed for divorce. So, who is Ben Affleck’s new rumored flame, Kick Kennedy? Let’s take a look!

Per People Magazine, Ben Affleck, 52, has been hanging out with one of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s kids, Kathleen “Kick” Kennedy. A source told the outlet that Kick has always had a “celeb crush” on Affleck. Although the two have been “spending time together,” they are “not sure what’s happening.” However, another insider shared, “There’s definitely nothing going on” and believes that Ben and Kick “don’t know each other.”
Page Six first broke the news about Ben and 36-year-old Kick being spotted at the Polo Lounge at the Beverly Hills Hotel and other Hollywood hotspots. The outlet notes that it is unclear what kind of relationship the two have. Affleck’s reps did not respond and Kick refused to comment.
Another report by People Magazine states that Lopez “didn’t want a divorce.” The singer “wanted to figure things out,” but Ben allegedly “chose to pull away from their marriage.” The source claimed that the Armageddon actor “moved on with his life” and left J.

According to Page Six, Lopez listed her separation date from Affleck as April 26. The former filed for divorce on Aug. 20. Lopez cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for her split with Affleck.
