Amid his divorce from Jennifer Lopez, Ben Affleck has been sighted with Kathleen ‘Kick’ Kennedy, daughter of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., prompting speculation of a potential new romance.
The duo was seen together at the Polo Lounge in the Beverly Hills Hotel shortly after J.Lo filed for divorce.
Observers quickly noted the resemblance between Kick Kennedy and Ben Affleck’s ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, sparking discussions and some suggesting that Affleck might have a preference.
Commenting on the similarity, a fan wrote, “Oh so Ben Affleck was still chasing the Jen Garner illusion of happiness here. Kick Kennedy seen here looking like a splitting image of Mrs. Jennifer Affleck I in this.” Another fan added, “Ben has a type and it’s not JLO. This Kick Kennedy looks like Jennifer Garner.”
Kick Kennedy’s Reaction
Sources close to Kick Kennedy mention that she is flattered by the comparisons but urge restraint in assumptions. Insiders reveal that the relationship between Affleck and Kick Kennedy is still in the early stages with nothing serious between them at this point.
A source shared, “The fact that people say she looks like Jen Garner is flattering to her as she thinks Jen is beautiful,” highlighting Kick Kennedy’s response to the attention.
