Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce from Ben Affleck last week and the Gone Girl actor has already been linked to Kathleen ‘Kick’ Kennedy, the daughter of Robert F. Kennedy Jr
Ben Affleck is already rumored to have moved on from his marriage to Jennifer Lopez and fans can’t help but notice his new girlfriend’s similarity to another of his exes.
The Gone Girl star, 52, has been spotted hanging out with Robert F Kennedy Jr’s daughter Kathleen ‘Kick’ Kennedy. The pair were spotted at the Polo Lounge at the Beverly Hills Hotel after J.Lo filed for divorce from her husband.
Fans went crazy over the news of Ben and Kick’s outing and quickly drew comparisons between her and Ben’s ex-wife Jennifer Garner. “Ben has a type and it’s not JLO. This Kick Kennedy looks like Jennifer Garner,” one person wrote on X.
“Oh so Ben Affleck was still chasing the Jen Garner illusion of happiness here. Kick Kennedy seen here looking like a splitting image of Mrs Jennifer Affleck I in this,” another fan pointed out as they shared snaps of the two women.

A third fan agreed: “She looks like his ex wife, not jlo. Jennifer Garner.” Kick is said to be flattered by the comparison. “The fact that people say she looks like Jen Garner is flattering to her as she thinks Jen is beautiful,” a source told the Daily Mail.
They also said Ben and Kick are simply getting to know one another, adding there is “nothing there yet”. They also insisted J.Lo and Ben were separated before he started hanging out with Kick.
“He made this very clear with her. JLo listing their separation as April only confirmed this,” the source said. They added: “They are both taking it day by day but so far, she is enjoying spending time with him. They hang out at Beverly Hills Hotel because it offers a level of privacy to celebs that nowhere else does.”

Ben and Kick have been close before, enjoying a brief fling before he reunited with his now-estranged wife J.Lo, according to a source. “They met because Ben is from Boston and when you live in Boston, the Kennedy family is royalty,” the source told the Daily Mail.
They joked Ben “legit thought that he had landed into the Kennedy family” during their brief fling. However, Kick wasn’t ready for anything serious at the time.
