Let’s break down the details surrounding Ben Affleck and Kick Kennedy.
Is Ben Affleck dating Kick Kennedy?
Despite the rumors, Ben Affleck is not dating Kick Kennedy.
According to a US Magazine report, a source confirmed that Affleck is not dating anyone at the moment. “[He] might know her in passing,” the source added, suggesting that the dating rumors are likely false.
These rumors ignited when a Hollywood Insider told Page Six about Affleck’s and Kennedy’s alleged outing. Together, they were spotted spending time at a Polo Lounge at the Beverly Hills Hotel and other renowned spots. However, neither Affleck nor Kennedy has confirmed these rumors.
Recently, Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce from Affleck, marking the end of their relationship two years after their lavish wedding in Georgia. Irreconcilable differences were cited as their reason for the split. However, the speculations around their divorce came beforehand, when they were reportedly apart for the fourth of July and spent summer separately. Moreover, Bennifer listed their Beverly Hills mansion for $68 million, adding to the pre-existing divorce rumors.
An insider told People, that Lopez tried hard to make things work between them, but was disappointed by Affleck’s lack of effort. The source added, “Ben hasn’t given her any signs that he wants to continue their marriage.”
Another insider told Entertainment Tonight more about the differences between the beloved couple. The source said, “Ben feels like Jen has a hard time feeling satisfied and that’s one of the issues they’re facing. Ben is one of the only people who feels comfortable enough to be honest and real with Jen. It’s part of why Jen loves him, but also why she’s upset with him.”
Nevertheless, the couple filed for divorce on August 20, abruptly ending their relationship.
