- Ben Affleck spends time with RFK Jr’s daughter Kick Kennedy shortly after Jennifer Lopez divorced him (newsbreak.com)
Since the announcement of their separation earlier this week, Ben Affleck has been observed spending time with Kick Kennedy, the 36-year-old daughter of Robert F Kennedy Jr. Despite recently filing for divorce from Jennifer Lopez, the Boston-born actor was seen with Kennedy at the Polo Lounge in the Beverly Hills Hotel, although the specifics of their relationship remain unknown.
Jennifer Lopez has been seen without her wedding ring during solo outings in Los Angeles amid the divorce proceedings, and was also noted for visiting Ben Affleck’s residence on his 52nd birthday, keeping a low profile.
Kick Kennedy, a direct relative of President John F. Kennedy, comes from a prominent family background. Her father recently made headlines by withdrawing from the presidential race and endorsing Republican candidate Donald Trump.
Jennifer Lopez cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the breakdown of their marriage, noting April 26 as the date of separation. According to sources, the couple’s contrasting lifestyles played a significant role in their split. While Lopez enjoys a flamboyant, public lifestyle, Affleck prefers privacy, contributing to their incompatibility.
Despite efforts in therapy to salvage their relationship, the differences between the two proved insurmountable. Sources close to the couple revealed that they had realized their fundamental disparities and agreed to part ways. The difference in their approaches to life and love of luxury versus privacy led to the unraveling of their relationship.
The purchase of their $68 million home last year, which is now on the market, was reportedly the tipping point for Affleck, who was against buying the massive property. This is the second breakup for the couple, who first got together in 2002 on the set of “Gigli,” engaged, and then separated in 2004.
