Has Ben Affleck already moved on with a new girlfriend?
Sure, it’s been less than a week since Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce from Affleck.
But the exes separated back in April, if not earlier. And insiders say Ben has spent much of that time with the daughter of a very well-known politician.

Is Kick Kennedy Ben Affleck’s New Girlfriend?
Kick Kennedy is the 36-year-old daughter of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Until last week, RFK Jr. was an independent presidential candidate. But he recently dropped out of the race and threw his support behind Donald Trump.
Now, the family is back in the news thanks to rumors that Ben and Kick are dating.

According to a new report from Page Six, Ben and Kick have been hanging out since June.
One source tells the outlet that the couple has been making little effort to conceal their relationship.
In fact, they’ve been spotted at numerous Hollywood hot spots, including the Polo Lounge at the Beverly Hills Hotel.
Neither party has commented publicly on the rumors that they’re romantically involved.

Was There Any Overlap Between Ben’s Most Recent Relationships?
Has Ben has really moved on so soon after his split from J-Lo? If so, then fans are bound to have some questions about his timing.
But no one is accusing Ben of cheating on Jen.
In fact, insiders seem to agree that the couple simply wanted different things and gradually grew apart as a result.

“The kind of big love Jennifer believes in, that sort of all-consuming devotion? Ben played along for a while and wanted to be part of it, but it’s just not who he is,” one insider tells Page Six.
But while the split might have been gradual, that doesn’t mean the divorce will be amicable.
“She’s furious. He has humiliated her. He was the one who initiated getting back together,” says the source.
“He’s humiliated her because she made a big deal that he’s the love of her life.”
Ben and Kick might wind up putting their relationship to the test right off the bat. Because it sounds like he’s in for the fight of his life.
