Only a week after Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce, lastly making the long-rumored finish of Bennifer 2.0 public, Ben Affleck is immediately somewhat busier than anticipated!

Per shocking reviews 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 seemingly asking the flawed query. The query is, what already occurred??

In accordance with a supply spilling to DailyMail.com, Ben and Kick didn’t simply meet — they go means 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 Properly As Ben

You’re telling us Ben left Jen… and as quickly as she made it official, he went and seemed up an outdated hookup?! Rattling! That claims so much! 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 whenever 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 may be a 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 folks 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 any way, THEY say:

“They didn’t have any affair throughout his marriage, however it’s fascinating to Kick’s pals that as quickly as this divorce occurred swiftly Ben is hanging out with an outdated hookup whose household he sees as royalty.”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 entire 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 model however is being extremely tight-lipped as a result of she doesn’t need to be seen as a mistress. She isn’t 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, isn’t her downside:

“Kick is keen on Ben, and he or she doesn’t care what JLo thinks truthfully.”

Rattling, alright!

So… to be clear… They connected earlier than he received again with Jen. However how lengthy have they been sneaking round Hollywood resorts collectively this time? Only a bit. The insider assures, as soon as once more, no overlap:

“Once they began hanging out, he and JLo had been separated. He made this very clear together 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 Resort as a result of it presents a stage 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 means?

Kick is clearly Ben’s sort. We imply, followers seen she has a gorgeous, 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 folks 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 certain appears to be implying it. However one other insider advised the outlet it’s simply chill for now.

“Ben has been spending time with Kick however there’s nothing there but. They’re pals 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.”

Feels like there’s potential there for certain!

What do YOU consider Ben and Kick’s maybe-romance now, with the information they’d a hookup prior to now? Do you consider there was by no means any overlap??
