00:00Fans have barely had time to process Jennifer Lopez filing for divorce from Ben Affleck,
00:05and already, there are rumors of Ben moving on with a famous name. Well, last name anyway.
00:10According to Page Six, Ben has been navigating his recent relationship woes with Kathleen
00:15Kick Kennedy. She's the daughter of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the Trump-supporting politician
00:19better known for sharing headlines with wild animals than sharing his policy positions.
00:24Kick doesn't seem to mind. Here she is in 2023, looking fearless with a falcon.
00:34So, are Kick and Ben lovebirds? Page Six didn't explicitly label Kick and Ben's
00:39attachment as romantic, but they did reveal that they were caught out at the Beverly Hills Hotel,
00:44along with other hotspots in L.A. So, there's that.
00:47So far, there's not much confirmed info about Ben's bond with Kick,
00:51if there is one. This means that the timeline of their relationship is also a mystery.
00:56Unfortunately, Ben's decision to establish ties with Kick while the entire world is watching his
01:00divorce from J.Lo play out is enough of a signal that he's not interested in playing
01:04nice with his estranged wife. But Jen is reportedly not going down without a fight.
01:08According to Us Weekly, Jenny from The Block purposefully petitioned to end their marriage
01:12on August 20th, which is their anniversary. A source shared,
01:16The timing of the divorce was a big f----- you to Ben, but this may only be the beginning.
01:20According to TMZ, the A-list couple didn't bother signing a prenuptial agreement,
01:24so money is going to be an issue here. Jen is reportedly worth $400 million,
01:29thanks to her reign as a successful chart-topping pop star, along with her endorsements,
01:33acting gigs, and side hustles. Meanwhile, Ben has less to potentially lose in this divorce,
01:38but it's still a huge number — $150 million.
01:41So, what went wrong? People magazine reports that Jen broke off their marriage because she
01:46was unable to stand Ben's moodiness. A source claimed,
01:49The truth is, there was a great deal of love. But also, unfortunately, what became clear
01:53were Ben's erratic mood swings that he couldn't hide from the press, as much as he tried to.
01:57They were trying to work through it, but when the mood swings and the big highs and big lows
02:01informed a toxicity that was pervasive, no one can help you. You have to help yourself."
02:06The source was hesitant to claim that there was no love between the stars.
02:09However, Ben was reportedly two different people behind the scenes.
02:12Meanwhile, Ben's rumored relationship with Kik Kennedy has seemingly thrown fans for a loop.
02:17Reactions on X include,
02:18The callous, cold-hearted arrogance of Ben Affleck knows no bounds.
02:22And,
02:22It's so unnecessary is the problem. It's not hard to have treated Jen with the
02:26minimum respect you would give a friend, much less someone he claimed to love.
02:30Another tweeted about their 16-year age gap, posting,
02:33He's old enough to be her father, and evidently he's on the rebound. Run, girl, run.
02:37Here's 22-year-old Kik in 2010, in a promo video for Teva Sandals.
02:42Yeah, so that's when I got lost in Disneyland.
02:44That's the same year a 38-year-old Ben wrote, directed, and starred in The Town.
02:48While we're flashing back, many fans have also been pointing out how
02:52similar Kik looks to Ben's first ex-wife. One posted,
02:54Oh, so Ben Affleck was still chasing the Jen Garner illusion of happiness here.
02:58Kik Kennedy seen here looking like a splitting image of Mrs. Jennifer Affleck.
03:02Another fan agreed, while also showing sympathy to Kik, posting,
03:06He's rebounding, and with a woman who looks like the same woman he rebounded on J-Lo with before.
03:11I feel bad for the Kennedy girl. Hopefully she won't take him seriously.
03:14He's gonna dump her in two to three months when she starts asking for something serious.
03:18Sounds like the start of a very trying divorce.
