Ben Affleck‘s rumored new flame, Kick Kennedy, ain’t fazed by the constant comparisons to his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner. In fact, she seems to take it as a compliment, viewing Garner as a beautiful and admired figure. And honestly, who wouldn’t? Garner’s been a beloved Hollywood staple for years. An insider spilled the beans to Daily Mail (via Geo TV):
The fact that people say she looks like Jen Garner is flattering to her, as she thinks Jen is beautiful.
Affleck and his 36-year-old flame have reportedly been getting cozy even before Jennifer Lopez (Affleck’s most recent ex) filed for divorce on August 20. The timeline sure raises eyebrows—especially with JLo listing their separation as early as April. The insider added:
When they started hanging out, he and JLo were separated. He made this very clear with her. JLo listing their separation as April only confirmed this.
It’s not just the kick-off of this new relationship that’s making headlines, but also Kick Kennedy’s uncanny resemblance to Garner. While the similarities between the two might have sparked some confusion, the two are clearly distinct individuals in Affleck’s life.
Both Affleck and Kennedy seem keen on keeping things under wraps, often meeting at the Beverly Hills Hotel—a spot known for its discretion. For now, it’s all about keeping stuff low-key and taking things ‘day by day.’

The star-crossed lovers of Hollywood, JLo and Affleck, have finally ended their relationship. The divorce comes only two years after they held their extravagant wedding in Georgia; this news left the fans in a state of disbelief.
A close source to Lopez revealed that the singer and actress was heartbroken when Affleck dumped her with a decision to end their marriage. The insider added (via PEOPLE):
It’s been incredibly difficult for her that Ben chose to pull away from their marriage and move on with his life, leaving her behind. She didn’t want a divorce.
She wanted to figure things out. They love each other. Jennifer is not the type to just give up. It’s been almost torture for her to wait around. And after filing for divorce, she seems relieved.
The separation’s been tough on Lopez and her newly single status, but she still has family and friends on her side. But let’s be real—the news of Lopez and Affleck splitting up is pretty tragic, even though they’re both super successful in their own right. We wish them both the very best in their future endeavors!
