AceShowbiz - Sources close to Kathleen "Kick" Kennedy, the 36-year-old daughter of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., allege that she has "always" had a crush on Ben Affleck. Kennedy, an actress and activist, is described as a "partier" who enjoys a good time.

In late spring, Kennedy and Affleck, 52, reportedly began getting to know each other. It is unclear how they met or the exact nature of their relationship.

Kennedy has had small roles in projects such as "Curb Your Enthusiasm" and "Gossip Girl." She was romantically linked to Harper Simon, the son of Paul Simon, from 2013 to 2014.

Affleck, who was previously married to Jennifer Garner, reconciled with Lopez in 2021 and married her a year later. However, Lopez filed for divorce last week, with sources indicating that things had ended in March.

Insiders claim that Lopez was "furious" and "humiliated" about the split, as Affleck had initiated the rekindling of their romance. Sources also suggest that Affleck may have allowed Lopez to file the divorce paperwork to avoid further embarrassment.

Meanwhile, Kennedy's friendship with Affleck has reportedly been kept under wraps. They have been spotted at the Polo Lounge at the Beverly Hills Hotel and other hotspots.

Whether their connection is simply a friendship or something more remains to be seen. However, the reports of Kennedy's longstanding crush on Affleck add an interesting dynamic to the situation amidst his ongoing divorce from Lopez.
