Fans of Ben Affleck were surprised by a recent revelation about his romance with his new girlfriend. As reported, 52-year-old Affleck was recently spotted with 36-year-old actress Kik Kennedy. It was also revealed that this was not their first public appearance together. However, no one suspected how long their love story had been unfolding.
It turns out that their first dates occurred over four years ago. According to an insider, Kik developed romantic feelings for Affleck long before they met in person, having admired him through his films. When they were introduced through mutual friends in early 2020, Kik confirmed that her feelings were justified.
Affleck, too, felt an immediate attraction, and they began dating. At that time, their relationship was not serious. Shortly thereafter, while filming “Deep Water,” Ben met Ana de Armas and shifted his focus to her, leaving Kik behind. However, Kik did not remain heartbroken for long, as she quickly attracted the attention of other admirers. Kik is not only beautiful and talented but also belongs to the prominent Kennedy family.
As for Ben’s relationship with Ana de Armas, it developed quickly but was short-lived. Affleck began dating Ana regularly in March 2020, and she soon moved into his Los Angeles mansion. They spent much of the COVID-19 quarantine together but ended their relationship early the following year, with Ana reportedly being the one who initiated the breakup. In the spring of that same year, fate reunited Ben with Jennifer Lopez, whom he nearly married during their first romance in the early 2000s. They married in the summer of 2022, but just over a week ago, Jennifer filed for divorce after nearly six months of conflicts and failed attempts at reconciliation.
