Ben Affleck’s Rep Denies Kick Kennedy Dating Rumors Amid Jennifer Lopez Divorce

Ben Affleck’s rep is shutting down rumors that he’s dating Kathleen “Kick” Kennedy. Just days after Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce from the Oscar winner, several reports claimed he was dating RFK Jr.’s oldest daughter, but his rep denied the speculation telling Access Hollywood on Aug. 27, “This is not true.” It all started earlier this week when multiple sources told People that the “Air” director and “Gone Girl” star had been mingling. One source told the outlet, “Kick and Ben have been spending time together, but I’m not sure what’s happening.” But another insider seemingly dismissed the gossip, telling the mag, “I don’t think they even know each other. There’s definitely nothing going on.” A source with knowledge echoed similar remarks to E! News, saying the pair is “not romantically involved,” adding, “They only know each other in passing.” The romance rumors sparked less than a week after JLo filed for divorce in Los Angeles on Aug. 20 after two years of marriage.
