So, according to Page Six, Jennifer Lopez and her husband have officially split. She’s filed for divorce, and it looks like he’s already seeing someone new. It’s been a pretty big deal. At first, when they got back together, it seemed like a fairytale, almost like something straight out of a movie or documentary, and Ben seemed to be on board with all the media attention. Oddly enough, he might even find it attractive that Jennifer has social media but hardly ever uses it.
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck always manage to keep us entertained, even in the middle of a divorce. Most people thought the split would end all the drama and headlines, but they sure proved us wrong. Ben’s been spotted with a new girl, and of course, the internet went wild. He didn’t waste any time moving on from J.Lo, and, naturally, she’s not happy about it. It’s ironic, but it’s got to hurt being on the other side of things this time.
Some reports are even saying that Ben’s new relationship might be the reason for their breakup. Did he really cheat on her again? And what’s Jennifer going to do about it? Apparently, she found out about this woman, “Kick,” and that’s what led her to finally file for divorce. Now it’s all getting pretty messy.
J.Lo has officially filed for divorce. After months of keeping everyone guessing, she finally made the move and filed to end her marriage with Ben Affleck. On August 20, 2024, she went to the L.A. County Superior Court alone and filed the papers, taking the first step in what’s known as a “pro per” filing, meaning she’s representing herself.
What really grabs attention is the fact that the papers show J.Lo and Ben have actually been separated since April 26, 2024. So, all those rumors swirling around for the past few months? Turns out they were true. But what makes this even more interesting is the timing—J.Lo waited until their second wedding anniversary to file, and some say it was a calculated move to hurt Ben as deeply as possible.
As for the reason behind the breakup, the divorce documents don’t spill much, but the internet has already connected the dots: Ben is reportedly seeing someone else, and it’s none other than Kick Kennedy, daughter of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. According to Page Six, the two have been spotted together a few times, including at the Polo Lounge in Beverly Hills. We don’t know exactly how long this has been going on, but it definitely adds a layer of drama to the story.
We’re not entirely sure what’s going on between Ben and Kick, but here’s what we do know: Kick is an actress. You might remember her from Curb Your Enthusiasm, where she appeared alongside her stepmother, Cheryl Hines. Her most recent role was in the 2021 film Fear and Loathing in Aspen, where she played a laid-back tourist. Ben’s a director, which has led some fans to believe their connection could be work-related. But since Ben just went through a divorce, that’s a bit hard to believe for some. Many people think they’re dating, and not everyone feels bad for J.Lo, who has to watch her ex move on so fast.
One person even commented, “Now J.Lo can see what it feels like. Maybe now she knows how her ex-husbands felt when she moved on without a second thought.”
Looking back, J.Lo reportedly cheated on her second husband with Ben Affleck while they were filming Gigli. She made their relationship very public, moving on quickly with Ben. When Ben broke up with her, she started seeing Marc Anthony, who was also still married at the time. And J.Lo ended up marrying Marc just a day after his divorce was finalized. It’s one of those cases of “what goes around comes around.”
So why do people think Ben and Kick are more than just friends? Well, for starters, Kick is 36, and J.Lo is 55. Ben has a history of leaving his partners for younger women, like when he reportedly cheated on Jennifer Garner with their 28-year-old nanny.
Honestly, do I think J.Lo is a self-absorbed, capitalistic nightmare? A thousand percent. And let’s not forget about Ben Affleck—I’m convinced he’s a serial cheater. There were even whispers about him having an affair with his nanny while he was with Jennifer Garner. I can totally see Ben being one of those guys who’s charming and fun when he’s into you, but then he just gets bored and starts acting shady.
But that doesn’t change the fact that I really believe J.Lo is a handful. She’s incredibly narcissistic and focused on herself. Just look at her—she has her comments turned off right now. Like, seriously, get a grip.
It’s also important to point out that Garner clarified the nanny had nothing to do with their divorce. She told Vogue, “We had been separated for months before I even heard about the nanny. She had nothing to do with our decision to divorce. She was not part of the equation.”
Still, it’s hard to ignore that Ben seems to have a thing for younger women.
Now, let’s take a moment to think about this. Is the situation different this time? Did Ben start seeing Kick after he and J.Lo separated, or did he end things with J.Lo because of Kick? We can’t know for sure, but one thing’s clear: Kick definitely seems to be his type…
