Ben Affleck’s Rep Responds To Kick Kennedy Dating Rumors
Some reports had suggested the “Air” actor was spending time with the daughter of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. amid his split from Jennifer Lopez.
Ben Affleck is not dating actor and environmental advocate Kathleen “Kick” Kennedy, despite recent rumors of a romantic relationship, according to a representative for the “Air” actor.
“Everything about him and Kick is untrue,” Affleck’s rep told E! News in a statement on Tuesday.
Rumors began to swirl last week that Affleck and Kick Kennedy were seeing each other after several publications, citing unnamed sources, published reports that they were spotted spending time together amid the actor’s split from Jennifer Lopez.
Kick Kennedy is the second-oldest child of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who suspended his independent bid for president last week and endorsed former President Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign.
The environmental advocate studied theater and history at Stanford University before attending the Lee Strasberg Theatre & Film Institute. She’s had roles in TV shows including “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” “Gossip Girl” and “The Newsroom,” and she’s appeared in films such as 2014′s “Teacher of the Year.”
A representative for Kick Kennedy did not immediately return a request for comment.
Lopez filed for divorce from Affleck last week, following months of speculation about the status of their relationship.
The singer listed the date of separation as April 26.
Lopez and Affleck famously first got engaged in the early 2000s before calling it quits. They delighted fans of their relationship when they rekindled their romance 20 years later and wed in 2022.
