Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are going through a messy split. The ink may not even be dry on their divorce papers, but the actor has allegedly moved on with actress and activist Kathleen “Kick” Kennedy. Of course, JLo is said to be furious about the situation. However, Affleck is reportedly very happy as he looks to start a fresh chapter in his life following the end of his marriage.
Sources tell Closer that Ben Affleck’s new budding romance with Kick Kennedy has left Jennifer Lopez feeling “shocked” and “humiliated.” She’s allegedly telling her friends that she caught the Gone Girl star messaging his rumored new love interest during their marriage.
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez Divorce Is Getting Messy
“To further twist the knife, one of Jen’s reps apparently saw them canoodling at a restaurant together which was understandably extremely painful to hear – especially when it was just days after the divorce had been filed,” an insider dished.
“Jen heard from mutual friends that he’s fallen hard and fast for Kick and Ben has credited her for helping pull him out of a dark place following his split from Jen. But she’s convinced that it’s a rebound and insists Kick will come to her senses when she realizes that.”
In addition, People Magazine reports that Affleck is “doing well” as he moves into his new home. He’s said to be focused on the positive aspects of his life, such as his family and career. For her part, JLo is reportedly surrounding herself with friends and family as she navigates the divorce.
Meanwhile, fans are weighing in on the situation, and they have some interesting thoughts about Affleck’s relationship habits.
“Perhaps Ben prefers uncommitted relationships where he can live on his own terms, free from anyone’s expectations or bossing,” one fan commented.
“Lopez and Affleck were never a good match. Ben likes his privacy and Lopez lives for attention. Jennifer Garner was close to perfect for Ben but unfortunately he thought the grass was greener somewhere else,” another stated.
“He only seems happy when he’s not in a relationship. Perhaps he should consider not being in a relationship,” a third comment read.
“Maybe he should stay single,” a fourth fan agreed.
Ben Affleck has denied the rumors that he’s dating Kick Kennedy. Meanwhile, both he and Jennifer Lopez have stayed silent on their divorce thus far.
