Who is Kick Kennedy? Meet RFK Jr.’s daughter, the woman Ben Affleck has been ‘hanging out’ with amid JLo divorce

by

As a seasoned observer of celebrity dynamics, having closely followed the lives and careers of many influential figures, I must admit that the recent news about Ben Affleck and Kick Kennedy stirs a sense of intrigue within me. On one hand, it’s always fascinating to witness the intertwining of famous families and the new connections they forge. Yet, as someone who has seen countless high-profile relationships unfold, I find myself wondering if this is another instance of a chance encounter or perhaps something more substantial.

According to reports, Ben Affleck is spending time with a different woman during his high-profile separation from Jennifer Lopez.

52-year-old Oscar winner has been spotted in the company of Kick Kennedy, a 36-year-old woman who is the daughter of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., aged 70, and his first wife Emily Black, aged 66. This encounter took place at the Beverly Hills Hotel, as reported by Page Six.

It’s unclear what kind of relationship Ben and Kick have, even though they’ve been seen together.

Now who is Kick, the woman with the famous name and family? 

As a devoted admirer, I’d like to highlight that the remarkable talent we know as Kick, whose birth name is Kathleen Alexandra, has graced our screens with her presence in numerous TV series and films. Among these, she appeared alongside my dear stepmother, Cheryl Hines, in Curb Your Enthusiasm, a role that showcases her exceptional acting skills.

Her most recent role was as a ‘lazy tourist’ in 2021’s Fear and Loathing in Aspen. 

She is a graduate from Stanford University in California where she studied both history and theater. 

On Instagram, the actress maintains a sizable following of approximately 17,100 people, yet her last post, featuring a Saker falcon, was made on August 24, 2023.

She’s socialized with famous personalities like Taylor Swift, who was romantically linked to her brother Conor in 2012.

Delving into my social media feeds, it’s evident I have an ardent passion for exploration. Snapshots of my adventures in breathtaking destinations like Egypt and magical Madagascar are just a few examples of the incredible places I’ve been fortunate enough to visit.

She was named for her great-aunt, Kathleen Kennedy, who also known to the family as Kick.

Kathleen Agnes was the firstborn in 1920, who later became known as ‘The First Kick’. She was the elder sibling of Robert F. Kennedy, grandfather to President John F. Kennedy, making them her nephew and brother-in-law respectively.

In 1944, Kathleen Agnes surprised her deeply religious Irish-Catholic family when she wedded William Cavendish, a Marquess named Hartington, who was Protestant.

Their marriage didn’t last long; it endured for just four months. Sadly, Cavendish passed away during active service in Belgium in September that same year. Tragically, Kathleen met her end four years later in a plane accident in France.

The announcement about Affleck and Kick arrives merely a few days following the filing of divorce by his ex-wife, Jennifer Lopez, who made the move on their second wedding anniversary, which happened this past Tuesday.

In July 2022, the singer chose to submit legal documents without a lawyer’s assistance and without a prenuptial agreement, approximately two years later, they had another wedding ceremony in August of the same year.

Following several months of conflicting gossip, Lopez officially ended her marriage with Affleck by filing for divorce, which she did on Tuesday.

She pointed out that they had ‘insurmountable disagreements’ as the cause of their breakup, and specified that they would part ways on April 26, 2024.
