Jennifer Lopez is on the verge of a major meltdown. She is livid over the recent rumors of her estranged ex, Ben Affleck, stepping out with Kick Kennedy just days after their divorce announcement.
Sources tell In Touch that Ben Affleck’s actions add to Jennifer Lopez’s already excessive heartache and humiliation about their split. The rumors that Ben has allegedly moved on from Jennifer are not just another slap in the face for the ‘I’m Real singer but a deep betrayal.

Ben Affleck Steps Out With New Woman Days After Jennifer Lopez Divorce, ‘She Looks Like His Ex’“The word is Ben and Kick have been spending time together and getting to know each other. Ben’s telling people it’s none of their business. He’s not going to explain whom he’s friends with, and the sooner he and J. Lo can wrap up this divorce and move on with each of their lives, the better,” the insider says.
Even though Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck split more than six months ago, it does not matter to JLo. She has spent months trying to work things out with Ben, but he is uninterested. Now that Kick Kennedy has re-entered his life, the Gone Girl star is even less interested in talking to Jennifer.
Ben Affleck and Kick Kennedy have known each other for years. Their friendship dates back to 2018. The two became close when Ben was in rehab between his divorce from Jennifer Garner and his marriage to JLo. However, Jen reportedly wonders how long Ben and Kick have been seeing each other since their split. Regardless of the timeframe, Jennifer finds Ben disrespectful, and she is ready to snap.
Jennifer Lopez’s Rage Towards Ben Affleck Could Turn This Into A Nasty Divorce
Jennifer’s friends also encouraged her to move on. They tell her that the best revenge would be for her to start dating someone younger and hotter than Ben. However, at this point, Jennifer has no desire to move on—at least not yet.
“But J. Lo’s past the point of crying over Ben,” the insider concludes. “She’s reached the anger stage and all this talk about Kick is just fueling her rage.”
Jennifer Lopez feels salty; she feels she invested a lot of time and effort into transforming Ben Affleck into a family man. Now, JLo may even understand how Jennifer Garner feels. In the past, Garner stated that after she helped Affleck get sober, he changed his ways. Say she felt JLo got the better version of Ben.
Now that Jennifer Lopez has also helped change Ben Affleck, someone else could soon reap the benefits of her hard work. As angry and betrayed as Jennifer feels now, she could make her divorce from Ben as difficult as possible for him.
JLo feels burned by Ben. She has already decided to keep the $5 million engagement ring he gave her. However, with no prenup, the division of their assets could get nasty. Jennifer Lopez’s net worth is three times that of Ben Affleck, so a long-drawn-out court battle will hardly put a dent in her bank account.
Jen could become vengeful, take a page out of Angelina Jolie’s divorce playbook, and drag this celebrity divorce out in court as long as possible. Time will tell if Jennifer Lopez plays nice in court or makes Ben Affleck suffer.
