Only a week after Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce, lastly making the long-rumored finish of Bennifer 2.0 public, Ben Affleck is instantly a bit busier than anticipated!
Per stunning studies over the weekend, the Accountant star has been noticed hanging out with Kick Kennedy! Sure, that’s Kathleen of THE Kennedy household. She’s RFK Jr‘s daughter. Everybody needs to know what’s happening between them. Everybody is outwardly asking the improper query. The query is, what already occurred??
In response to a supply spilling to DailyMail.com, Ben and Kick didn’t simply meet — they go approach again!
“Ben and Kick had a fling earlier than he received again along with JLo.”
WHOA! Whoa whoa whoa…
Associated: J.Lo ‘Didn’t Need A Divorce’ — And Is NOT Doing As Effectively As Ben
You’re telling us Ben left Jen… and as quickly as she made it official, he went and appeared up an outdated hookup?! Rattling! That claims lots! However extra on that later, let’s hear about this “fling”! The insider says it was years in the past:
“They met as a result of Ben is from Boston and if you dwell in Boston, the Kennedy household is royalty.”
As a Boston liberal, Ben does idolize the Kennedys. Even Oscar-winning writers can’t keep away from each cliché! Ha! The supply defined for a bit he puzzled if he would possibly be part of the well-known fam:
“So when he began hanging out with Kick, he legit thought that he had landed into the Kennedy household. However she was too younger and never prepared for something critical.”
BTW, Kick is 36 now. Positively an age when individuals begin to prepare for one thing critical. Hmm.
The insider needs to make it very clear, this informal factor they’d was NOT throughout his relationship with J.Lo. No crossover in anyway, THEY say:
“They didn’t have any affair throughout his marriage, however it’s attention-grabbing to Kick’s buddies that as quickly as this divorce occurred rapidly Ben is hanging out with an outdated hookup whose household he sees as royalty.”
Uh, yeah! It’s intriguing to us, too!
And whereas Kick likes Ben — and has reportedly had a crush on him for a while — she’d somewhat this complete relationship, no matter it finally ends up being, keep on the DL a bit longer. Why? Apparent causes:
“She thinks that he’s clever and really a lot her type however is being extremely tight-lipped as a result of she doesn’t need to be seen as a mistress. She is just not a mistress. She is nothing like J.Lo and likes to maintain her personal life personal.”
However to be clear, that is about defending her personal fame, not Jen’s emotions. That, says the supply, is just not her downside:
“Kick is keen on Ben, and he or she doesn’t care what JLo thinks actually.”
Rattling, alright!
So… to be clear… They connected earlier than he received again with Jen. However how lengthy have they been sneaking round Hollywood accommodations collectively this time? Only a bit. The insider assures, as soon as once more, no overlap:
“After they began hanging out, he and JLo had been separated. He made this very clear along with her. JLo itemizing their separation as April solely confirmed this.”
OK, then we’re again to the unique query then! What’s happening between them?
“They’re each taking it day-to-day however up to now, she is having fun with spending time with him. They hang around at Beverly Hills Lodge as a result of it gives a degree of privateness to celebs that nowhere else does.”
Huh. That doesn’t actually reply the query although, does it? Are they hanging out as outdated friends? Or in a romantic approach?
Kick is clearly Ben’s sort. We imply, followers observed she has a ravishing, brunette, girl-next-door factor that’s very a lot Jennifer Garner‘s enchantment. And the final time he and J.Lo broke up, that’s the place he went. Hmm. The comparisons haven’t escaped her discover both, says the supply:
“The truth that individuals say she appears to be like like Jen Garner is flattering to her as she thinks Jen is gorgeous.”
OK, so are they getting romantic or not? That first supply positive appears to be implying it. However one other insider instructed the outlet it’s simply chill for now.
“Ben has been spending time with Kick however there may be nothing there but. They’re buddies and luxuriate in hanging with one another and it’s true that she actually doesn’t have any ideas about what JLo would consider her spending time with Ben. He’s an amazing man and they’re attending to know one another.”
Seems like there’s potential there for positive!
What do YOU consider Ben and Kick’s maybe-romance now, with the data they’d a hookup previously? Do you consider there was by no means any overlap??
