Ben Affleck looks cheery at the office amid Jennifer Lopez divorce and  Kick Kennedy romance rumors

As a seasoned observer of celebrity lives, it seems to me that Jennifer Lopez is a woman who knows her own mind and heart, and she has shown incredible resilience throughout this tumultuous chapter of her life. Waiting for a decision, especially when it comes to matters of the heart, can indeed feel like torture. But Jennifer, with her unyielding spirit, always manages to come out on top.


On Tuesday, Ben Affleck appeared bright-spirited upon his arrival at his Los Angeles workplace, despite ongoing divorce proceedings with Jennifer Lopez and speculations surrounding a potential relationship with Kick Kennedy.

The actor, 52, smiled as he toted an iced coffee while arriving in a blue suit and pink shirt.

The star carried a leather bag for his day at the office and sported a clean-shaven look. 

After learning that Lopez, aged 55, expressed relief, it was announced she had officially finalized her divorce from Affleck, marking their second wedding anniversary in Georgia.

Lately, I’ve found myself spending time with Kick, RFK Jr.’s daughter, amidst the headlines about his divorce.

Previously, he had a short romance with Kick. However, he later renewed his relationship with his current estranged spouse, Lopez, as sources have disclosed.

Confidential sources have shared with DailyMail.com that Kick and Ben are savoring each other’s company, however, the author is keeping quiet about their relationship to avoid being perceived as involved romantically due to concerns about her reputation.

Initially, Ben and Jennifer Lopez (JLo) weren’t together; instead, Ben had a brief romance with someone else – that person was Kick. This liaison happened before Ben rekindled his relationship with JLo. They became acquainted because Ben hails from Boston, and in Boston, the Kennedy family is considered as prestigious as royalty.

The source added: ‘Once he began associating with Kick, he genuinely believed he had joined the Kennedy clan. However, she was still quite young and not prepared for anything substantial.’

The source made it clear that the couple’s romantic involvement never intersected or conflicted with the actor’s renewed relationship with Jennifer.

During his marriage, they did not engage in an affair. However, it’s intriguing to Kick’s circle of friends that immediately after the divorce, Ben seems to be spending time with an old acquaintance who he holds in high esteem, akin to royalty within her family.

According to an insider, Kick finds the actor to be both intelligent and fitting her personal style. However, she’s keeping quiet about it to avoid giving off the impression of being his mistress.

‘She is not a mistress. She is nothing like JLo and likes to keep her private life private.’

The source clarified that Kick isn’t overly concerned with Jennifer’s potential reactions towards Ben’s choice to rekindle their relationship. They went on to say, “To be frank, Kick values her friendship with Ben, and she doesn’t let JLo’s opinions weigh heavily on her mind.”

Initially, when they began spending time together, it was already established that he and JLo were apart. This point was explicitly communicated to her. The fact that she cited the month of April for their separation further supported this assertion.

According to the source, they’re managing each day as it comes, but thus far, she seems to be delighting in their time together. They frequently socialize at the Beverly Hills Hotel because it provides an unparalleled degree of privacy for celebrities, unlike any other place.

It’s complimentary to her since she finds Jennifer Garner attractive when others mention a resemblance.

Additionally, another source also mentioned that the duo have been deepening their friendship, as they explained: ‘Ben has been hanging out with Kick, but there’s no serious relationship involved so far.’

They’re good friends and genuinely enjoy one another’s company, with no concerns about how Jennifer Lopez might perceive their time together. He’s an outstanding individual, and they’re growing more acquainted.

Despite not wanting a divorce, Lopez seems to be managing as best as she can, according to a source who spoke to People on Monday.

According to the source, it has been extremely tough for her because Ben decided to end their marriage and leave her, moving forward with his life instead.

I was unwilling to part ways through divorce, preferring instead to work things out. Our affection remains strong, and I, being resilient, am hardly one to throw in the towel easily. The delay has felt almost agonizing, like enduring a trial of patience.

‘After filing for divorce, she seems relieved,’ the source shared.

Everyone, including her loved ones, believes she made the correct choice. With so much affection and encouragement surrounding her, she’s bound to be okay. Given her resilience, she will undoubtedly overcome this situation successfully.

It’s worth mentioning that Jennifer submitted the divorce documents on her own without a lawyer being officially designated at the time. However, there could be a possibility that she has or will hire a lawyer later on.

She cited ‘irreconcilable differences’ as the reason for the divorce filing.

It was reported by Us Weekly on Friday that despite not filing himself, Ben is said to have been fully aware of her intentions in filing.

According to an insider, the estranged couple had ‘already agreed to these terms before she filed.’

They stated that the two individuals had thoroughly reviewed and planned out every aspect of the filing ahead of time, rather than surprising Ben with an unexpected filing.

According to the source, JLo ultimately decided to go ahead with filing, as it was part of their previously agreed arrangement.

The reporting generally aligns with their choice to maintain a facade of a harmonious relationship for several months, complete with periodic public appearances, even though they had actually parted ways privately beforehand.

According to the source, each party arrived with substantial personal assets. Consequently, there are no plans to dispute their wealth, meaning their large Beverly Hills mansion is the only substantial joint property left, which they might need to sell.

Consequently, Jennifer declined any spousal support from her former spouse, and she petitioned the court to reject this request on behalf of Ben.

She listed the date of their separation as April 26.

Jennifer and Ben got married privately on July 16, 2022, however, they held another wedding ceremony on August 20, 2022, at Ben’s estate in South Carolina, which was attended by family and friends. This second wedding coincided exactly with the day before she filed for divorce two years prior.

In late 2002, they became engaged, but they separated after a year and finally ended their relationship permanently in 2004.
