Today in plot twists no one could have anticipated, even in the most deranged fever dream, Page Six is out here claiming that Ben Affleck is "hanging out with" (whatever that means đ) RFK Jr's daughter Kick Kennedy. (I will...give you a moment to process.)
Here's exactly what the outlet said, just so we're all on the same page: "A Hollywood insider tells Page Six they have been spotted at the Polo Lounge at the Beverly Hills Hotel and other hotspots. The nature of their relationship remains unclear."
A new report has emerged amid Ben Affleckâs divorce from his wife of nearly two years Jennifer Lopez. According to an unverified claim, the 52-year-old actor has reportedly been seen with Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.âs daughter, Kick Kennedy. Kickâs mom is Emily Ruth Black, who is RFK Jr.âs first wife.
This news obviously comes not even a week after Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce from Ben on their two-year wedding anniversary, citing "irreconcilable differences." The couple's breakup has been in the works for months, and J.Lo even listed their official date of separation as April 26âjust a few days ahead of her solo appearance at the Met Gala.
JLo filed for divorce on August 20, and since then, details about the reason why they are separating have been revealed. After tying the knot in 2022, Lopez filed for divorce from the actor and listed the date of separation as April 26, 2024.
Page Six is reporting that Ben and Kathleen Alexandra (âKickâ) Kennedy, who is 36 years old, have been seen together at the Polo Lounge in Beverly Hills, and other hotspots. No other information has been revealed.
When asked, Benâs team did not respond to requests for comment while Kick had no comment about the report.
Who Is Kick Kennedy?
Kathleen Alexandra 'Kick'Â Kennedy, born April 13, 1988, is more than just another member of the Kennedy family. She was named after her great-aunt Kick, who died in a plane crash in 1948, and she and her ancestor share more than just a name.
Although the Kennedy family is well-known for its deep roots in American politics, Kick has taken a different path, pursuing a career in acting rather than continuing the family tradition.
Kick's acting career has included appearances on popular television shows such as Curb Your Enthusiasm, and The Newsroom, and even as herself in an episode of Gossip Girl. Despite her family's political legacy, Kick once expressed a desire to be remembered for her own accomplishments rather than her famous surname. "Hopefully, one day people will come see me for something that doesnât have to do with my last name," she said.
Growing up as a member of the Kennedy family, Kick had a unique childhood filled with extraordinary experiences. Her father, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., is well-known for his work in environmental law, and Kick has frequently been associated with environmental causes.
Kick Kennedy's Unique Childhood
In a 2012 interview with Town & Country, she described an unusual childhood memory in which her father took her to retrieve the head of a dead whale from a beach. They then strapped the head to the roof of their minivan and drove home, whale juice leaking into the vehicle during the journey. This bizarre event was simply another day in the life of a Kennedy.
While politics is a major theme in the Kennedy family, Kick has stayed away from it, focusing on her acting career and other personal interests. Despite her well-known surname, she has worked hard to establish her own identity, frequently sharing personal details on social media.
Her Instagram feed is filled with photos of animals, showing her love for them, as well as pictures of her participating in various sports such as tennis, skiing, and horse riding.
Kick Kennedy's Personal Life
Kick Kennedy's personal life has also received a lot of attention over the years. She made headlines in 2018 when her boyfriend, billionaire banking heir Matthew Mellon, passed away unexpectedly.
Mellon's death reportedly surprised Kick, who had been dating him for about four months. Her model manager, Christine Schott, stated that Kick was heartbroken and devastated by the unexpected loss. Since then, Kick has kept her personal relationships relatively private.
More recently, rumors have circulated about Kick's relationship with Ben Affleck, who is going through a public divorce from Jennifer Lopez. The two have been seen together, prompting speculation about the nature of their relationship. However, Kick has declined to comment on the rumors, and Affleck's representatives have yet to respond to inquiries.
A New Chapter in the Lives of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez
Ben Affleck has recently been seen spending time with Kick Kennedy, daughter of RFK Jr., following his recent divorce from Jennifer Lopez. The pair have been spotted together in Los Angeles, sparking rumours about their relationship.
Affleck, 52, and Kick, 36, have been seen together in Los Angeles, including at the Polo Lounge in Beverly Hills, according to Page Six. While the exact nature of their relationship isn't clear, it's possible they could be discussing a future movie project.
Kick Kennedy, whose full name is Kathleen Alexandra, has chosen to focus on her acting career rather than politics. Unlike her father, RFK Jr., who recently ended his presidential campaign, Kick has kept her distance from political affairs. She made a brief appearance in an episode of HBO's Curb Your Enthusiasm, where she was credited as âcustomer #2.â
Meanwhile, Jennifer Lopez, 55, has filed for divorce from Affleck after a two-year marriage. Their split comes after a rekindled romance that began in 2002, leading to an engagement and then a breakup in 2004. The couple's recent summer was marked by their absence from each otherâs birthday celebrations.
Affleck and Lopez reportedly did not have a prenuptial agreement, making this their second marriage and her fourth.
A Look Back at Bennifer
Ben didn't waste any time moving on from Jennifer, 55. The singer filed for divorce on August 20, according to TMZ. She filed legal documents in the Los Angeles County Superior Court without an attorney. The singer listed the date of separation as April 26, 2024. Ironically, the date of the filing is Ben and Jennifer's second anniversary of their traditional wedding ceremony in Georgia. The duo originally tied the knot in a July 2022 Las Vegas ceremony.
Sources told TMZ that the couple did not have a pre-nuptial agreement. That means whatever earnings or profit the exes made during their two-year marriage is community property. JLo and Ben were first linked together in 2002 and became engaged later that year. However, they called off the wedding just two years later. They rekindled their romance in 2021 and finally got hitched in 2022 before filing for divorce this year. Here is a timeline of their love story:
Jennifer cited "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for their split.
Before getting married to Jennifer, Ben was in a 13-year marriage with actress Jennifer Garner. Many fans think that Kick looks like Ben's first wife. After the article was posted online, fans couldn't get past how much the women look alike. "Looks like his first wife," one X user wrote. "She looks like his ex-wife, not Jlo, Jennifer Garner," said another.
Kick is the daughter of RFK Jr., who is the nephew of President John F. Kennedy. According to Kick's IMDb page, she is an actress, writer, philanthropist, and activist. She has starred in theater, TV, and film, including Gossip Girl, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Teacher of the Year, and more. Kick graduated from Stanford University, where she studied history and theatre. She is a human and animal rights activist as well as a champion for environmental causes. Her stepmother is actress Cheryl Hines, who also starred in Curb Your Enthusiasm. Kick is one of six siblings, including Conor Kennedy, from RFK Jr., and her mother, Emily Ruth Black. Kathleen received her nickname from her great aunt, who was also named Kathleen "Kick" Kennedy. She died in a plane crash in 1948 at the age of 28.
