Ben Affleck seen with RFK Jr’s daughter Kick Kennedy after Lopez divorce

Ben Affleck has not chosen to retreat since his wife, Jennifer Lopez, filed for divorce earlier this week. The actor, now 52, was recently seen spending time with 36-year-old Kick Kennedy, the daughter of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

An insider disclosed that the two were spotted at the Polo Lounge in the Beverly Hills Hotel shortly after JLo filed for divorce. While the specifics of their relationship remain unclear, it is evident that Ben is moving forward with his life.

Kick, who is also the great-niece of President John F. Kennedy, is one of six children of RFK Jr. Interestingly, her father recently withdrew from the presidential race and threw his support behind Republican candidate Donald Trump.

The confirmation of marital issues between Jennifer and Ben is underscored by Jennifer stating their separation date as April 26. The couple cited “irreconcilable differences” for the decision to part ways.

Lopez, known for her vibrant personality and penchant for the spotlight, often flaunted her glamorous lifestyle, while Affleck has preferred a more private and low-key existence. These differing lifestyles ultimately contributed to the collapse of their marriage. An insider mentioned to Us Weekly that “it was more and more apparent they weren’t a good match.”

Despite attending therapy sessions in an attempt to salvage their relationship, it turned out to be insufficient. Another source explained that it became clear they were simply two different individuals. It was noted that they came to an agreement to separate once they realized they were often at odds.

“Jennifer came to the realization that things weren’t going to change and they were incompatible,” the source shared. It became increasingly obvious during their time apart that their union may not be salvageable.

Fundamental differences in their personalities played a significant role in the deterioration of their relationship. An insider noted that “Jennifer loves luxury, mansions, jets, yachts, red carpets, and all things glamorous,” whereas Ben has never shared the same interests. He dislikes being in the limelight unless it relates to his work.

The couple’s decision to purchase a $68 million home last year, which was put on the market this year, was identified by some as a potential tipping point in their relationship. One source explained, “If there was one final straw, it was Jennifer convincing Ben to buy that massive mansion. It wasn’t what he wanted or who he is.”

This marks the second split for Jennifer and Ben, who initially dated and got engaged in 2002 when they met on the set of their movie Gigli. Their first breakup occurred in 2004, leaving many to wonder if their second attempt at marriage was destined for the same fate.

The recent developments suggest that both Ben and Jennifer are now seeking to navigate this new chapter in their lives, though the future for each remains uncertain. As they go their separate ways, fans and followers can’t help but remain intrigued by the choices they will make in the aftermath of their high-profile relationship.
