Ben Affleck appears to be moving on from his marriage to Jennifer Lopez and recent sightings have stirred up talk about a possible new romance with someone who bears a striking resemblance to one of his past loves.
The 52-year-old actor has been seen spending time with Kathleen ‘Kick’ Kennedy, the daughter of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The duo was spotted together at the Polo Lounge in the Beverly Hills Hotel shortly after it was revealed that J.Lo had filed for divorce.
Fans quickly took notice of the connection and couldn’t help but compare Kick to Affleck’s ex-wife, Jennifer Garner. The resemblance between the two women has been a hot topic of conversation, with some even speculating that Affleck has a type.
“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,” a fan wrote.
Another added: “Ben has a type and it’s not JLO. This Kick Kennedy looks like Jennifer Garner.”
Flattered by fan theory
Sources close to the situation say that Kick is flattered by the comparisons, but they caution against jumping to conclusions. According to insiders, Affleck and Kick are just getting to know each other, and there’s “nothing serious” between them at this point.
“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.
This isn’t the first time Affleck and Kick have been linked. Reports suggest that the pair had a brief connection before Affleck rekindled his relationship with J.Lo, adding another layer of intrigue to their current situation.
