Ben Affleck might be finding solace in the company of Kick Kennedy, the daughter of RFK Jr., as he navigates life after his separation from Jennifer Lopez. The two have recently been seen together around Los Angeles, sparking speculation about the nature of their relationship. According to a source who spoke to Page Six, Affleck and Kennedy have been spotted spending time at various locations, including a recent outing at the Polo Lounge in Beverly Hills.
The exact details of their relationship remain unclear. However, there is speculation that their meetings could be related to a potential collaboration on a future movie project. Affleck, who is 52, has been focused on various professional endeavors, and the possibility of discussing a film role with Kennedy adds an intriguing layer to their interactions.
As Affleck continues to adjust to life post-separation, the presence of Kennedy, who comes from a prominent political family, might be a significant source of support or professional opportunity. Their appearances together in high-profile venues like the Polo Lounge suggest a developing connection that could be both personal and professional.
Whether their relationship will evolve into something more or remain centered around work remains to be seen. For now, the public’s interest in their interactions highlights the ongoing curiosity about Affleck’s personal life and the potential for new developments in his career.

Unlike her father and his failed presidential run, Kick, 36, seems to have chosen to keep her name out of politics to pursue a career as an actress. According to IMDB, she appeared in an episode of HBO’s Curb Your Enthusiasm as “customer #2” — which also stars her stepmom Cheryl Hines.
Kick— full name Kathleen Alexandra—is one of two children from his first marriage to Emily Black. She is named after her great-aunt, the socialite Kathleen Agnes Cavendish. She was Pres. John F. Kennedy’s older sister and died aged 28 in France in a plane crash. The first Kick’s marriage to a British aristocrat in 1944 had lasted just four months, ended by his death in action in World War II.
On Saturday, Kick posted a photo of herself holding an eagle on Instagram with no caption, but no sign of Affleck.
Lopez, 55, filed for divorce from Affleck on Tuesday after what seemed to be a long teased out breakup just two years after they married after their second romance. The pair had dated from 2002 and become engaged but split in 2004. They were spotted on opposite sides of the country throughout summer, and neither of them showed up to each other’s birthday parties.
Affleck and Lopez reportedly had no prenuptial agreement or settlement in place. It was his second marriage and her fourth.
