(NewsNation) — Just days after news of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s divorce broke, eyewitnesses reported spotting the “Daredevil” actor with Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s daughter.
Kick Kennedy, 36, was seen hanging out with the 52-year-old at popular Los Angeles spots like the Polo Lounge and Beverly Hills Hotel, an insider told Page Six exclusively.
The outlet says Kennedy has declined to comment on the nature of their relationship, while Affleck’s team has not yet responded.
Though multiple reports are hinting at a possible romance between the pair, nothing has been confirmed.
Jennifer Lopez, Ben Affleck divorce
Lopez filed for divorce from Affleck on Tuesday, Aug. 20, in Los Angeles County Superior Court. The filing marked the couple’s two-year anniversary since their Georgia wedding ceremony.
Court documents indicate that the two have been separated since April, TMZ reports.
This is the second time the couple has formally called it quits. Lopez and Affleck were together in the early 2000s after meeting on the set of the film “Gigli.” Their romance grabbed tabloid headlines, which is when their nickname of “Bennifer” began. The two were engaged and then called it quits in 2004.
According to NewsNation’s Paula Froelich, Lopez and Affleck even spent Mother’s Day apart, with Lopez in Paris with her child Emme and Affleck 5,600 miles away in Los Angeles celebrating with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner and their children.
Affleck had reportedly already moved out of the house, shifting to a rental in Brentwood that better suits him.
Affleck was using his separation from Jennifer Lopez to throw himself into work, a Froelich source said.
Friends had been worried about Affleck falling back into addiction during this stressful time. According to IMDB, Affleck has over 25 projects currently in the works in various stages of pre-, mid and post-production.

Jennifer Lopez, Ben Affleck movie to premiere
“Unstoppable,” a new sports drama co-starring Lopez and produced by Affleck, will have its world premiere at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival in September.
“Unstoppable” is being produced by Affleck’s production company, Artists Equity, which he co-founded with Matt Damon. William Goldenberg, who edited “Argo,” “Live by Night,” and “Air” for Affleck, is set to make his directorial debut on the project, according to IndieWire.
Amid a divorce, it is now improbable the famous couple will attend the premiere together.
