According to Page Six, Ben Affleck and Kick Kennedy’s friendship began well before the actor started dating Ana de Armas in March 2020. The pair have been seen together at the Polo Lounge in the Beverly Hills Hotel on multiple occasions, indicating that their bond has only grown stronger over time. Sources reveal that Kennedy was aware of Affleck’s relationship with de Armas, and their close friendship continued despite his involvement with the actress.
An insider shared with the entertainment outlet, “Their friendship has been going on for a while, even before Ana.” The source added that Kennedy was “less than thrilled” when Affleck chose to quarantine with de Armas during the COVID-19 pandemic.
As Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s romance, once celebrated as a fairytale, comes to an unexpected end, attention has shifted to Affleck’s relationship with Kennedy. Multiple sources have told People that the 52-year-old actor and Kennedy have been spending more time together, particularly since late spring.
However, a representative for Affleck has dismissed the dating rumors, telling the outlet, “There is no truth to any of it. I don’t know if they even know each other.” Despite this denial, the rumors persist, with some speculating that Affleck’s connection to the Kennedy family is something he values deeply.
One Hollywood insider told Page Six, “Affleck would love nothing more than to be part of the Kennedy clan. It’s a dream for any Boston guy … I think he would rather have that than a billion-dollar, red-carpet glam life with J. Lo.”
