Ben Affleck’s spokeswoman is denying rumors that the actor is dating Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s daughter Kick Kennedy in the wake of Jennifer Lopez’s divorce filing.
“The rumors are not true,” Affleck’s representative Jen Allen told Fox News Digital.
Allen also denied the dating rumors in a statement to People Magazine. “There is no truth to any of it. I don’t know if they even know each other,” she told People on Affleck’s behalf.
Furthermore, on August 27, Affleck’s representative told US Weekly, “There is no truth to any of it. I don’t know if they even know each other. Ben is not dating anyone.” Page Six also quoted Affleck’s rep as saying, “This is not true. They are not hanging out.”
However, those comments came after reports by People and Page Six that Affleck and Kennedy, 36, have been spending time together.
TMZ reported on August 20 that Lopez, 55, had filed for divorce after two years of marriage to the “Argo” actor, 52. According to TMZ, she is not seeking spousal support and filed the action without a lawyer.
