Amid Divorce: Ben Affleck Spends Time With Kennedy Family Member
For several months now, the world community has been arguing about what caused the broken marriage of Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck. Various reasons were given, but no one suspected that another woman could be involved in the situation. Now Ben's fans have a reason to think so: it has become known that the 52-year-old actor spends a lot of time with the 36-year-old daughter of American politician Robert Francis Kennedy Jr., Kick Kennedy.
Robert Francis Kennedy Jr. is a member of the Kennedy dynasty, and is the nephew of the 35th US President John F. Kennedy. His daughter Kick has been spotted in Ben's company several times, visiting the 5-star Polo Lounge at The Beverly Hills Hotel and other establishments popular with the elite. The nature of their relationship is still anyone's guess. Page Six, which broke the news, reached out to Kick for comment, but she declined. Affleck has yet to respond to the request.
Recall that 55-year-old Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce from Ben Affleck earlier this week. The other day, insiders told People magazine that one of the reasons for this decision was Ben’s “erratic” and unpredictable behavior, whose moods were constantly changing. They write that one second he could be tender and seem incredibly happy, and the next he could fall into a very gloomy state and deep melancholy. “The truth is that there was love, but, unfortunately, there were also constant mood swings that he could not hide from the press, no matter how hard he tried,” the insider reports.
Sources told Page Six that Lopez had tried hard to save the marriage, but it hadn't worked. "She loves him. She always will, and that's the problem," the insider said.
Jennifer has yet to respond to the news of Ben's alleged new romance, but she did update her social media for the first time since the divorce announcement. She posted a selfie in what many considered a gorgeous look.
The actor and singer were engaged in 2002, but broke off the engagement. Almost 20 years later, they rekindled their relationship and got married in 2022. At first, their family life seemed happy, but later, netizens began to notice that Ben often looked gloomy next to his wife, and paparazzi periodically photographed the spouses during quarrels. Recently, everyone was sure that the couple would soon announce a divorce, and that is what happened.
