Ben Affleck is spending time with Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s daughter, Kick Kennedy, following his recent divorce from Jennifer Lopez.
According to Page Six, the couple was spotted at the Polo Lounge at the Beverly Hills Hotel and other popular places.
Lopez, 55, filed for divorce from Affleck, 52, on Tuesday, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for their split. The date of separation was listed as April 26.
Although the nature of Ben and Kick’s relationship is currently unclear, here’s everything you need to know about Kennedy, who is spending time with the Oscar winner.
Kick, 36, is the eldest daughter of RFK Jr. and the second of his six children.
With his first wife, Emily Ruth Black, the former independent presidential candidate welcomed Kick in April 1988 and her brother, Robert «Bobby» Kennedy III, in September 1984. He later had four more children — Conor Kennedy, Kyra Kennedy, William «Finn» Kennedy, and Aidan Kennedy — with his second wife, Mary Kathleen Richardson.
Her full name is Kathleen Alexandra Kennedy, but she got the nickname Kick from her aunt Kathleen «Kick» Kennedy — the sister of President John F. Kennedy, who tragically died in a plane crash in 1948 at the age of 28.
In a 2012 interview with Town & Country magazine, Kick mentioned that she considers herself «similar» to her ancestor.
«I always thought my dad and I were the same person, but a few years ago I got into Kick», - she explained. «She was fun, outgoing, and accomplished in many ways.
«Of course, I don’t think my parents will ever call my own death divine retribution», - Kick joked at the time. «Well, maybe if I become a Republican».
After high school, Kick attended Stanford University, where she studied history and theater.
She continued her education at the Lee Strasberg Acting Institute in West Hollywood.
Kick aspired to a career in the arts, particularly in acting and writing.
Over the years, she has been involved in various projects, including acting alongside her stepmother Cheryl Hines in the series «Curb Your Enthusiasm» and playing herself in the series «Gossip Girl».
Recently, Kick appeared in the 2021 film «Fear and Loathing in Aspen» as a «lazy tourist».
In addition to her work in front of the camera, Kick is an activist who shares her father’s passion for environmental issues, especially water-related issues. In a 2014 interview for Resident, she mentioned that she «knew what PCBs were before she learned to tie her shoes».
From 2013 to 2014, Kick dated Harper Simon, the son of musician Paul Simon.
Later, she dated billionaire Matthew Mellon for several months until his unexpected death in 2018 at the age of 54. At the time, Kick’s manager told PEOPLE, «She is shattered, shocked; she did not expect this. She is in despair and will not be making any comments»
