The high-profile split between Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez marks the end of their turbulent two-year marriage after a fiery romance in the early 2000s. Lopez initiated divorce proceedings in Los Angeles County Superior Court this week, coinciding with Affleck accompanying their eldest daughter, Violet, to Yale University for her upcoming freshman year.
Speculations abound regarding the future plans of the former couple. While Lopez has been linked to ex-MLB player Alex Rodriguez following their 2019-2021 engagement, Affleck’s next steps have remained uncertain…until now.
Affleck Spending Time with RFK Jr.’s Daughter!
Reports from Page Six indicate that the 52-year-old Affleck has been seen in the company of Kick Kennedy — the daughter of former presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr..
RFK Jr.‘s political journey hit a roadblock as he paused his White House bid recently, while his 36-year-old daughter, Kathleen Kennedy (“Kick”), remains in the spotlight after appearances on TV series like “Gossip Girl” and “The Newsroom“, and sharing the screen with stepmother Cheryl Hines on “Curb Your Enthusiasm“.
While the nature of the relationship between Affleck and the 36-year-old Kennedy remains ambiguous, some sources suggest that discussions have revolved around potential film collaborations. Affleck, together with longtime pal Matt Damon, co-owns the production company Artists Equity, currently working on the movie “Unstoppable” starring Affleck’s ex, Jennifer Lopez.
Insiders reveal that Affleck has been busying himself with work amidst personal turmoil, hinting that his interactions with Kennedy might be strictly professional. Nevertheless, rumors are swirling around Affleck, especially given his history of conflicts with the paparazzi, a factor contributing to his separation from the fame-seeking Lopez.
