Ben Affleck is giddy as he gets delivery from favorite fast food restaurant amid Jennifer Lopez divorce and Kick Kennedy dating rumors

Ben Affleck appeared to be in high spirits as he picked up a fast food meal on Saturday, days after his ex-wife Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce.

The 52-year-old Argo CEO flashed a broad smile as he brought food from Jack In the Box to his Brentwood vacation home, choosing to spend the weekend indoors.

The actor, who was recently linked to Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s daughter, Kathleen “Kick” Kennedy, 36, wore a blue Nirvana T-shirt that showed off his muscles.

He completed the casual look with jeans and sneakers.

This follows news that Lopez, 55, is “relieved” to have taken the official step of ending her marriage to Affleck on the second anniversary of their wedding in Georgia.

Ben has reportedly been spotted with RFK Jr.’s daughter Kick in recent weeks following news of his divorce.

According to sources, he previously had a brief affair with Kick, after which he rekindled his relationship with his now estranged wife Lopez.

Insiders have revealed to DailyMail.com that Kick and Ben are ‘enjoying their time together’, but the writer is keeping her lips ‘tight’ about their relationship because she doesn’t want to be seen as her ‘mistress’.

“Ben and Kick had a fling before he got back together with JLo,” the source began. “They met because Ben is from Boston and if you live in Boston, the Kennedy family is royalty.”

The insider continued, “So when he started hanging out with Kick, he really thought he was in the Kennedy family. But she was too young and not ready for anything serious.”

The source stressed that the couple’s romance never overlapped with the actor’s renewed relationship with Jennifer.

‘They didn’t have any affairs during their marriage, but Kick’s friends find it interesting that once the divorce is finalized, Ben suddenly starts hanging out with an old friend whose family he considers royalty.’

As for how Kick views the actor, the insider said, “She thinks he’s intelligent and totally her style, but she’s extremely reserved because she doesn’t want to be seen as a mistress.

“She’s not a mistress. She’s not like JLo at all and she likes to keep her private life private.”

The source explained that Kick isn’t too worried about what Jennifer might think of Ben’s decision to reconnect. They added, “Kick is crazy about Ben and honestly doesn’t care what JLo thinks.”

“When they started dating, he and JLo were separated. He made that very clear to her. JLo calling it quits as April only confirmed it.”

The source continued, “They’re both taking it day by day, but so far she’s enjoying spending time with him. They’re hanging out at the Beverly Hills Hotel because it offers a level of celebrity privacy that you can’t find anywhere else.

“The fact that people say she looks like Jen Garner is flattering to her because she thinks Jen is beautiful.”

Meanwhile, a second source confirmed that the two just want to get to know each other better. They stated: ‘Ben has been spending time with Kick, but nothing has happened yet.

“They’re friends and they enjoy hanging out together and it’s true that she doesn’t really know what JLo would think about her spending time with Ben. He’s a great guy and they’re getting to know each other better.”

Meanwhile, Lopez is doing “as best as she can,” even though she “didn’t want a divorce” from the actor, a source said. People on monday.

“It’s incredibly difficult for her that Ben chose to walk away from their marriage and move on with his life, leaving her behind,” the insider said.

“She didn’t want a divorce. She wanted to figure things out. They love each other. Jennifer’s not the type to just give up. It’s almost torture for her to wait.”

“After filing for divorce, she seems relieved,” the source said.

“Her family and friends agree it was the right decision. She is surrounded by so much love and support. She will be fine. She is strong and will always come out on top.”

It is notable that Jennifer filed the divorce papers herself and did not list an attorney to represent her. She may have listed an attorney in the future.

She cited ‘irreconcilable differences’ as the reason for filing for divorce.

Although she was the one who filed the report, and Ben apparently chose not to, We weekly reported on Friday that he was reportedly well aware of her plans.

According to an insider, the estranged couple “had already agreed to these terms before she filed the case.”

They said the two had gone through “all the details” of the report beforehand and described it as a “planned” event, rather than a report intended to surprise Ben.

“JLo ultimately made the decision because they had an agreement that she would press charges and she was the one who ultimately made the decision,” the source added.

The reporting is largely in line with the couple’s decision to feign a healthy marriage for months, occasionally going out together in public despite already being separated behind the scenes.

The source noted that both parties “came with significant assets of their own” and that they reportedly have no intention of fighting over their wealth. Their sprawling Beverly Hills mansion is the only significant shared asset that needs to be sold.

Jennifer therefore did not request alimony from her ex and asked the court to deny it for Ben.

She gave April 26 as the date of their separation.

Jennifer and Ben married on July 16, 2022 in an intimate ceremony, but later married on August 20, 2022, in front of family and friends at Ben’s South Carolina estate. Exactly two years before Ben filed for divorce.

They became engaged in late 2002, but broke off the relationship a year later. In 2004, they finally ended their relationship.
