Ben Affleck Not Dating RFK Jr.’s Daughter Kick Kennedy Despite Reports Amid Jennifer Lopez Divorce
Ben Affleck isn’t dating Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s daughter Kathleen “Kick” Kennedy amid his divorce from Jennifer Lopez, despite several reports.
Despite sightings together, the Argo star, 52, and actress Kick, 36, are just friends and she “thinks highly of Ben,” a source told TMZ on Monday, August 26, adding there’s nothing romantic going on.
Kick is the granddaughter of the late Robert F. Kennedy and grand-niece of late President John F. Kennedy. In addition to dabbling in acting, she’s a philanthropist and water conservation activist.
Jennifer, 55, filed for divorce in Los Angeles Superior Court on August 20, which fell on the anniversary of the former couple’s lavish Georgia wedding. She filed for her dissolution of marriage pro per, meaning without an attorney.
The “Waiting for Tonight” singer listed her date of separation from Ben as April 26, 2024.
Prior to that date, the couple had not been photographed together since March 30. Fans began to wonder about trouble in their marriage when Jennifer arrived at the Met Gala on May 6 solo. Despite being a co-chair of the event and having months to plan her gown, she walked the red carpet alone looking downcast.
“Even the red carpet fashion commentators were confused, thinking Ben would be right behind Jen, but nope, she went solo, which shocked a lot of people,” a source exclusively told In Touch at the time.
In Touch exclusively reported on May 15 that Ben had already moved out of the pair’s Beverly Hills mansion and were on the brink of a split.
