Ben Affleck, 52, responds to rumors he's already started dating Kick Kennedy, 36, after Jennifer Lopez divorce

A source previously said Ben Affleck and Kick Kennedy were ‘spending time together’, but now his representative has spoken out

The dust hasn’t even settled on the fact that Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are getting a divorce, but speculation has already arisen that a new romance is blossoming.

It likely didn’t come as much of a surprise to many when it was announced that Jennifer Lopez had filed for divorce from husband Ben Affleck earlier this month.

Not because people expected the marriage to fail, but rather that speculation had been rife for months of tension between the two celebrities.

The pair had seldomly been spotted together and anonymous insiders had confirmed that things weren’t all roses in the 'Bennifer' household.

Lopez and Affleck eloped in Las Vegas in July 2022 after giving their romance a second chance since first getting engaged and calling it off back in 2004.

While Lopez only recently filed for divorce officially, the documents stated the pair had been separated since April 2024.

Lopez also cited 'irreconcilable differences' in her filing as the reason for the divorce.

The documents filed also reportedly don't indicate whether or not there is a prenuptial agreement between the couple.

While neither celeb has directly addressed their divorce, a representative for Affleck has had to address rumors that he is romantically involved with 36-year-old Kathleen “Kick” Kennedy, the 36-year-old daughter of politician Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Affleck’s representative Jen Allen addressed the rumors that began circulating over the weekend by simply saying ‘the rumors are not true.’

The rumors seemed to have stemmed from sources who spoke to People and stated the pair have ‘spending time together’ since early spring.

This likely won't be the only rumor that emerges as Affleck and Lopez’s lives are minutely examined over the coming month.

According to sources close to Lopez, she is now ready to move on from it all but is ‘disappointed’ her fourth marriage has come to an end.

She has previously been married to Ojani Noa, Cris Judd and Marc Anthony.

Meanwhile, a divorce lawyer has said it's 'almost unheard of' for a celebrity to file for divorce in the way Lopez has done.

Evan Schein of New York-based family law firm Berkman Bottger Newman & Schein told UNILAD: "It's absolutely unusual for a celebrity to file for divorce without a lawyer.

"This is almost unheard of especially when finances are not an issue. It will be interesting to see how this plays out."
