Yesterday, we reported that rumors were swirling that Ben Affleck is dating Kick Kennedy, the daughter of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. This came just one week after Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce from Affleck following just two years of marriage.

Now, Affleck has finally broken his silence to address these rumors through his rep.

Affleck Shoots Down Rumors

Jen Allen, who represents Affleck, spoke out to deny that the rumors about the actor and Kennedy are true.

“There is no truth to any of it. I don’t know if they even know each other,” Allen told People Magazine.

Another insider doubled down on this, telling US Weekly that “Ben is not dating Kick.”

This source added that Affleck “might know her in passing,” but is “not dating anyone” at the moment.

This came after multiple sources claimed that Affleck, 52, and Kennedy, 36, had been “spending time together.” One even claimed that this had been going on since late spring. It was alleged that the pair had been spotted at the Beverly Hills Hotel’s Polo Lounge and other locations.

“Kick’s celeb crush has always been Ben,” one source said, adding that Kick is a “partier” who “likes to have a good time.”

Kennedy has been linked in the past to Paul Simon’s son Harper Simon. She also is known to have dated the billionaire banking heir Matthew Mellon before he died in 2018.

Affleck’s Divorce From Lopez

Meanwhile, this comes one week after Lopez filed for divorce. She cited “irreconcilable differences” as she filed exactly two years after their wedding celebration.

Another source close to Affleck claimed that the star is “doing well and is very focused” despite the divorce filing.

“He thrives when he has work projects,” this insider said. “He’s been great when it comes to the kids too. He’s doing exactly what he wants. He seems very happy.”

Lopez and Affleck reportedly decided to split after it became clear that they were not a match.

“It was more and more apparent they weren’t a good match,” an insider said. “It boiled down to [the fact that] they are two different people.”

Ultimately, it was Lopez who pulled the trigger and filed.

 “She came to the realization things weren’t going to change and they were incompatible,” the insider added. “Spending time apart — it became obvious it wouldn’t work.”

Divorce is never easy, particularly when there are children involved. While it would indeed be fun to see Affleck date a Kennedy, perhaps he should enjoy being single for a bit moving forward.
