Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s marriage is officially over. The singer filed for divorce from the actor earlier this month. However, rumors that the Gone Girl star is already dating again have surfaced online. Affleck was reportedly seen spending time with Kathleen “Kick” Kennedy. Kick is the daughter of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. She’s dated some high-profile people in the past, including Paul Simon’s son, Harper, and billionaire Matthew Mellon. However, Affleck, 52, claims that he’s certainly not dating the 36-year-old.
Ben Affleck’s rep, Jen Allen, tells People Magazine via a statement that the actor is not romantic with Kick Kennedy. Despite the rumors that the pair may have even been getting to know each other before his split from Jennifer Lopez, there’s no sort of relationship between them.

“There is no truth to any of it. I don’t know if they even know each other,” Allen declared in her statement.
However, several sources have told the outlet that’s not exactly the case. Insiders claim that Affleck and Kennedy have been hanging out since late spring.
“Kick and Ben have been spending time together, but I’m not sure what’s happening,” one source previously told the magazine. “Kick’s celeb crush has always been Ben.”
That source went on to add that Kick is a “partier” who “likes to have a good time.” This could be trouble for Affleck, who has publicly struggled with alcohol and is now sober following substance abuse issues.
Meanwhile, JLo may be fuming at the rumors that Affleck has already moved on. In Touch Weekly reports that the singer will be ready to “snap” if she finds out that her soon-to-be ex-husband is dating again.
“JLo has put Ben on notice that if he reactivates his Raya profile or goes too far down the path of chasing tail, the gloves will come off,” an informant dished on the situation.
It seems that things could get very messy for Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez if it’s revealed that he and Kick Kennedy are an item. However, the actor’s denying the romance rumors for now.
