Jennifer Lopez and her team have been on the warpath in recent days. While I truly believe that J.Lo wanted to “make it work” with Ben Affleck throughout the year, when she decided she was done with his BS, she decided to spill all of the sh-t that’s been accumulating. Suddenly, there are stories about Ben’s erratic behavior and extreme mood swings. I believe Team J.Lo is also behind the rumor about Ben and Kick Kennedy, the 36-year-old socialite daughter of failed presidential candidate and brain-worm-haver Robert Kennedy Jr. Well, People Magazine has a story which is sort of an update on the “Ben has been hanging out with Kick Kennedy” rumor.
Is Ben Affleck moving on with someone new after Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce? Multiple sources tell PEOPLE that the Gone Girl actor, 52, has been mingling with Kathleen “Kick” Kennedy, one of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s six children. Page Six was first to report the news.
“Kick and Ben have been spending time together, but I’m not sure what’s happening,” one source says. The source notes they do not know when or how the pair first crossed paths, but, “Kick’s celeb crush has always been Ben.” The source describes Kick, an actress and activist, as a “partier,” adding that she “likes to have a good time.”
However, another insider insists, “I don’t think they even know each other. There’s definitely nothing going on.”
An additional source says Kick and Affleck have been “spending time together” since late spring. The two have been spotted together at the Beverly Hills Hotel’s Polo Lounge and other locations, according to Page Six. A rep for Kick did not respond to PEOPLE’s requests for comment.
Kick was previously romantically linked to Paul Simon’s son Harper Simon. She also dated billionaire banking heir Matthew Mellon prior to his death in 2018.
If People Mag has “multiple sources” saying Ben and Kick are doing something, I believe it and I believe Ben isn’t in a position to deny it. It also feels like Kick’s PR has entered the building – she wants to be associated with Ben, she wants to make a name for herself as the other woman in Bennifer’s divorce. “Kick’s celeb crush has always been Ben.” Really? How many Millennial women would name Ben as their biggest celeb crush? It’s definitely weird.
Meanwhile, People Mag had another pro-J.Lo story, where sources said Jennifer is “doing as well as she can” and “It’s been incredibly difficult for her that Ben chose to pull away from their marriage and move on with his life, leaving her behind. She didn’t want a divorce. She wanted to figure things out. They love each other. Jennifer is not the type to just give up. It’s been almost torture for her to wait around… [but] after filing for divorce, she seems relieved.” Given all of the sh-t she’s putting out there about Ben, I imagine it is a relief. I said this before, but I really hope this is the end of it for Jennifer. I hope she got this out of her system.

Ben’s nanny was all about her :15 minutes of fame while it lasted, and fortunately she eventually went away. Ben’s jump offs/party and bender buddies are always short lived. Eventually People will report Jen Garner picking him up and taking him to rehab.
At some point even Garner will have to give up. I mean hell, I would tire of having to clean up after a self destroying grown man who acts like his frontal lobes have yet to be fully developed.
I completely agree with you. Lots of women go into protect the family mode when the kids are very young. They do what they can to protect the kids by covering for the other parent. As kids get older, they are able to see for themselves what is really going on and it becomes much harder to do that. You also feel less like you need to protect your kid from information that they may not be ready to process. Having teenagers is very different than having small children.
I used to tell my child your dad is here early! He must be so excited to see you! That was a huge lie. He was always 45 minutes late. I saw my child wait almost an hour at the door with his bags packed for the weekend and the look on his face – it broke my heart. I decided from then on to tell him the pick up time was an hour AFTER the agreed upon time. This made his father 15 minutes early. He would light up thinking his dad was early, when in fact, his dad was late. That’s how you can trick a 5 year old. I would imagine Jen did a whole lot of this.
He’s in his teens now and has his own phone – his dad and him work out the pick up times. He recently said to me “dad is always late” took everything in me to keep my trap shut like dude you have no idea! I would imagine Jen Gardner is reaching the dude you have no idea silence part of her life…
I do feel for JG – yes, she is no longer married to him, but they have children together. So yeah, she’s tied to him – like a millstone around her neck.
Frankly, the way Ben was going after their divorce, he might not be here today.
You are so right Jay! He would be another celebrity death we hear about. She saved him. It’s why it really bothers me the way he talks about her like she was some kind of medicine ball hanging from his neck. Like he is literally here because of her.
Their youngest is 12, I think. So she may still be willing to pick him up and straighten him out for a few more years yet. It’ll depend on how the kids perceive and handle dad’s addictions. If they’re not too phased by another relapse then I think she’ll be relieved to stay out of it.
Didn’t some producer say before that without Jennifer Garner, Ben Affleck would be in so much trouble in Hollywood? How she called and begged people to give him one more chance during this rehab crap? I would be so done with him. He is the father of her children, but she has to keep dealing with his crap. And it probably didn’t help he and Jennifer Lopez were running around for almost two years saying everything else before wasn’t “real love” til they got back together.
I know a Kennedy – He “partied” in his 20s by going to Galas occasionally, or grabbing after work drinks (he worked with my boyfriend at the time). Nicest guy ever, who completely downplayed who his grandparents were or what his last name was. I never saw him have more than a few drinks over the course of a few hours. He still parties hard. It looked like the clam bake he and his wife of over ten years had for their son’s fifth birthday was wild. At least 20 people there (10 were children). Cupcakes galore.
My guess is that Kick, as an activist and an actress, also parties, by going to events or just living life. She’s beautiful and I think looks like Jennifer Garner. I’ve never heard of her before now which tells me that she is very low key compared to JLo, and media savvy.
I think it’s a smart match, and a much better one for Ben. It is noteworthy I think that he chose to produce the instigators rather than costar with Matt Damon.
Yeah, the comments Jlo used to make about how this one was the only true love for them never sat right with me. He’s had a wife and 3 children for god’s sake.
I don’t think someone who is known as a partier is a smart match for Ben who is an addict partier. It sounds like they would be the worse enablers for each other.
Ben needs to work on himself by himself and not drag people down with him. He has alot of demons and enough money (should he want to) get help.
I love how yall talk about Ben needing a low key woman as opposed to Jennifer just ignoring the cringey PR relationship with daily pap walks he had with Ana before her. I mean this is the guy who had flowers to JLo delivered to her in front of cameras AND HER HUSBAND. This is the guy who had no issue writing fawning messages about her in a magazine while she was still with ARod. He only really wants her when he cant have her and he’s just as much as a fame whore as her; he is just also obsessed with being respected in Hollywood and the moment she started getting flayed for that stupid docuseries he was done just like he was done when Gigli made them a laughingstock.
He is the embodiment of a downward spiral. All the “helpful” women should just let him be. He longs to end up in the gutter, nobody can fix him. It’s painful to watch people try.
Sometimes, it’s true, there is nothing left to do but shake the dust of your shoes and wish someone the best. But love is a thing, believe it or not, and those who have felt it know it compels us to help. No one is beneath redemption.
Agree! He hasn’t looked healthy in a long, long time. He’s literally red all the time (ding ding ding!). I wouldn’t be surprised to hear he’s been on a bender for most of this year. This man is so disrespectful to the women in his life. Dude is broken.
How many 36 year olds are still “partiers”? It sounds like she’s not going to be great for his sobriety.
Sounds like kick’s side is pushing her name out for her 15min of fame, or this was just ben reactivating his raya account and inserting himself in her dm’s once he was out of the family house. he has that maturity. I think Kick is also too young to have him as a crush since a long time.
I don’t think ” Kick is too young to have
Ben as a “crush”. He was Batman after all..
However, Ben the ” crush” & Ben the man are too different things…
Kick has been known to date older men. She dated Paul Simon’s son, which is an even larger age gap.
I bet Ben has ” the sun shining on her”.
“I think Kick is also too young to have him as a crush since a long time.” I get that it feels like the early 2000s weren’t that long ago but it’s been a minute. Affleck had a big heartthrob role with “Pearl Harbor” in 2001 when Kick was 13, that is optimal timing for Ben to be her celeb crush from way back.
Sure, It’s possible that he was her celebrity crush when she was 13, but how many of us mentally sound people hang onto a celeb crush from junior high thru the next 23 years? I had a crush on Tom Cruise when I was that age, but by the time I was 36 I was way too old to have a “crush” on a movie star and also by then I was an adult with the ability to realize said star was a creepy weirdo. My take —if something is going on between him and Kick, it is because she is trying to make it in Hollywood by hooking up with someone who despite his demons still has tremendous clout and the ability to give her a real acting role in something.
As a fellow 36-year-old, I gotta say: he was also Daredevil when she was in high school!
I don’t know but at 13, it was probably 2007 and that was wayyyyy past Ben’s prime time. Armageddon was in 98 and pearl harbor was in 2001. But maybe she was into ben’s batman – even if he’s the mist forgettable batman… but sure. 2007 was ryan gosling, zac efron, daniel radcliff, kanye west, rihanna, justin timberlake time. No way Ben Affleck was top
Look, she’s single and childfree and the bills are paid, she can do what she likes from my point of view. My questions are all for the 52 year old who coparents minor children and struggles with sobriety. His actions and judgment here raise all the eyebrows.
Actually I would have one question for her…he was your celebrity crush?…really? I need receipts. I don’t think I’ve known anyone who would have had him top of their list. I mean, maybe on the list, but top? If I started naming all his contemporaries who I would rate higher as a celebrity crush I’d use enough data to crash this website!
It’s giving Tom Cruise/Katie Holmes which….ew.
I am of a similar age to Kathleen, and no, Ben was not really marketed as a heartthrob, so him being your #1 would have been unusual. I mean, if she was just into broody dudes that like to party, Colin Ferrell was right there, y’know?
The best part about this little story is that it’s one Ben will HATE – he’s made such a point of pretending to despise his fame and his success, and meanwhile his jump-off is like “Remember how cute you used to be, with the blonde streaks in your hair? Remember when you didn’t have kids or a company to run or multiple failed marriages and scandals? That’s the guy I had a crush on when I was a 14!” Enjoy, Ben!
He had a few “heartthrob” years in the late 90s to early 2000s. Armageddon and Pearl Harbor positioned him that way.
Probably too early for someone in their mid 30s to consider him their number one crush. She came of age when he was flopping left and right and kind of a joke.
I really don’t know what to believe right now. On the paper of it, Afflecks wouldn’t have mingled with Kennedys, because ones are from protestant, and the others are from the catholics, and not just that. Afflecks are WASPs and Kennedys are Irish. Normally it wouldn’t have been mattered, but they are from Boston and Boston is a segregated city.
Anyway, if it proves to be true, then it isn’t surprising if he is her celebrity crush. Again, Boston probably plays a major part. It is a small city, and both families are elite. Affleck’s grandmother married to a Boston Brahmin. And she is a Kennedy. For those kinds of family, Boston is an incredibly little city. They must have heard of each other when they grow up. It’s like the neighbour’s kid with whom your parents always pick to compare to show your own lacking. I even believe the late young John Kennedy Jr might have heard of the Afflecks as well.
Good for Jennifer. I was tired of seeing her be the punching bag in media for the perfect Ben.
Same. She has her issues but this guy is not interested in being in a loving relationship. He is interested in servicing his own needs.
He is such a douche, it’s a wonder how he managed his only long term relationship with Jen G.
He managed it because he wasn’t the one who managed it! It’s become clearer and clearer that Garner held that all together (her choice, but I do hope she’s gotten some therapy to examine that. She is busy with their 3 children, did not need to end up “mothering” their father!). The minute a relationship needs work he seems to mostly check out.
I’m kind of wondering if this is coming from HER camp. aspiring actress plants rumors she’s connected with A list star after high profile divorce is a guaranteed way to get your name in headlines lol.
hopefully it doesn’t mean he’s fallen off the wagon, but that seems like a very likely scenario.
I’m willing to bet it is coming from her. And I’d bet they aren’t dating, but she supplying him with drugs or something.
So JLo’s lifestyle was a problem for his sobriety but not the party girl’s? Ok.
I love the barely there shoes she’s wearing with the ugly oversized outfit.
Say what you want about her.
But JLO has always been clean and sober.
Maybe this is the problem.
ooh it is def a problem when the person with the addiction wants to be more flexible and no one around them is enabling them.
Exactly what I came here to say.. BA is a pathetically weak man imo, Jennifer deserves much better than him.
That man stays messy. I love everyone is just forgetting the nanny, Linsday freaking Snookus who he was cheating on Jennifer Garner with, for years. He’s a mess and needs to go into therapy and stop his love bombing crap. I read a few articles and there’s obviously something there to him and this Kick Kennedy person. What an idiot.
I thought of Lindsay, too! The New York mistress who flatly refused to quit Ben even after Jen G showed up on her doorstep and begged. The nanny was just low-hanging fruit. Lindsay became the live-in girlfriend after the separation and they were seen day drinking (remember Ben wandering around with cold drinks dribbled on his shirt?). After that relationship imploded, Ben really went off the rails, leading to the infamous drive-thru pics as Jen G drove his butt to rehab.
Kick feels like another Lindsay – younger, carefree, loves to party, the girl who he dates while he rides that spiral down, down, down. The Jens are lucky to be out of it.
What a mess. I am just like okay then dude.
I couldn’t think of her name but I immediately thought about that whole situation when this news broke. This is a pattern with Ben and JLo is well rid of him.
He does stay messy but it sounds like this is just par for the course for BA. So my question is – why did JLo think he would change? Why did she think this time around would be different? Love letters aside, I feel like Ben has always been Ben and we’ve seen his messiness play out in public time and again. Nothing that Jen’s camp is putting out about this divorce makes it sound like something surprising popped up or that there is something new and different in Ben’s behavior. I mean are any of us surprised that this is where this marriage has ended up?
Maybe when they first got together again things were so good they were both able to forget or ignore everything else?
I follow a great psychologist online and honestly this man is a love bomber. He loves the chase and loses interest once he gets you and if you do one thing that he does not agree with. He checked out of the marriage. Refused to engage. Heck even his side says this, he was over it and wanted the divorce.
The only thing I feel bad for JLo about is that it does make her look foolish. She gave up time again on this man who has not changed at all. If I were here, I would go into therapy and swear off any relationships for a year. Stay close with his kids (who seem to adore her and like her kids) and just ignore him if he comes knocking again.
Exaclty, Becks. His messy is known and doesn’t excuse hers. She married him, ffs. Now she just sounds bitter and crazy and jealous and surprised that an addict acts like…an addict. Like, wow, even the mighty JLo couldn’t change him? The nerve.
They’re both narcissistic and need serious help.
Yes the nanny who also got tom Brady in hot water.
“Kick’s celeb crush has always been Ben.” The source describes Kick, an actress and activist, as a “partier,” adding that she “likes to have a good time.”
–Oh no no no no…I know I’ve talked about Ben’s repetitive destructive behavior, but I really hope he doesn’t go down the rabbit hole with Kick. Maybe this is just a PR plant and no truth to it? I’m giving Ben the benefit of the doubt of its veracity. Jen Lopez is not going to be there to pick up the pieces — it’s going to be Jen Garner, father of her kids. Ugh. This man is damn lucky that he has people who love and care about him. Me, I would have left his azz to his own devices years ago.
What is Ben doing?? This Kick chick is bad news. She likes dating older men and one of them she was dating overdosed. Ben’s not sober. He really needs therapy badly before something terrible happens.
I’m now sorry for all my comments criticizing him. I shouldn’t be so harsh. I do have friends who are in 12-step programs and recovery is hard. I just get so angry with Ben because he has all the money and access to resources — things I wish my friends had — not all of them can afford rehab. Anyway, yeah, this is NOT good news. He should not be around Kick.
Yeah I feel the same, Mireille. I DO have a lot of sympathy for Ben and I kinda hate how much people deride him for being an addict YET he does have the wealth, power, resources and connections that SO many addicts do not and it’s hard to see him making the same destructive decision in what appears to be a continuous pattern of self-sabotage. Not good.
Given her age might be trying to get that Ana De Armas shine by hanging with Ben. The thing is Ana is a talented working actor who already had a name in the business for herself. I wouldn’t be surprised if these stories are driven by her PR.
She’s named for a long-ago auntie, Kathleen Kennedy, who was a partier around the time of World War II.
The great aunt kick married into the cavendish family. Her husband was killed during world war 2. Kathleen nicknamed kick was married to the heir of the aristo familym She went back to the us when JFK was running for a local office. Kathleen. Had to keep a low profile because she married a protestant. Such was the attitude of rose kennedy She went back to the UK and fell in love with another aristo. They wanted to marry after his divorce but both were killed in a plane crash
Oh God, it was a less than two year marriage. Break up and move on. We all knew you were both delusional going into this. The only people that thought the two of you getting married was a good idea, was you and a handful of people that were looking forward to the inevitable train wreck. (Not me. I thought this was stupid. Bet a friend $100 bucks that the charade would last two years tops.)
Kick and Ben sounds like a cartoon show on Nickelodeon.
Kick and Ben
Kick and Ben
We’re having a party
as the best of friends
Kick and Ben
fighting off the brain worms
and back again
Kick and Ben
Kick and Ben
whales and bears
and overshares
Kick and Ben
Kick and Ben
Yay! We’re friends!
Or maybe it’s muppets Casey and Finnegan style. I’d watch the hell out of that show if Jennifer Gardner lived next door and reminded Kick and Ben to be good citizens.
I totally believe he’s involved with Kick. Daily Fail had an exclusive today that Ben and Kick hooked up before he got back with JLo. So they’ve been involved before and are revisiting it now. I thought that was an interesting twist and totally believe it. Sounds like something Kick’s PR would raise.
I read somewhere *coughcommentsectionofthedailyfailcough* that BA already had an affair with Kick around the Ana split. And that Kick was too young at one point, but not now?
And that he wants to be associated with the Kennedy name.
Very sad development.
I understand wanting to be associated with the Kennedy name following Chris Pratt’s footsteps. BUT THAT Kennedy is directly related to RFK Jr.
That’s the Temu Kennedy you want to return for a refund.
I was heavily invested in the Bennifer 2.0 so it’s difficult to watch that he didn’t change obviously.
I need JLo and Garner to become BFF’s now, so their kids can stay friends. It’s too sad for kids, as they all seemed really close.
I also hope Garner stops caretaking for Ben. He likely will run back to her once the downward spiral ends. But i feel like he needs to be able to pick himself up this time.
I think their children are old enough to keep a familial friendship going divorce or not. Jen Gs is 18, 15 & 12 and Jen L twins are 16. I don’t think they need their parents’ permission to stay in touch. Regardless of how the Jens feel about each other. But from all accounts they blended the families really well.
I hope they all stay in touch to à la Brady Bunch. These kids have been jerked around enough through drama, addictions and chaos constantly entering their lives. Thanks to Ben and Jennifer’s love of love addiction.
I’m surprised Lopez’s p.r. is paying off so. It used to be (two weeks ago?) people were more ‘even’ – almost 50/50 – on who was more problematic. It’s not ‘just’ Ben. People slip up sometimes. No idea if Kick and him are a real thing. J. Lo should have skipped the documentary but then she wouldn’t be being true to her art. Or was it really about her ego? She tried to erase Jen Garner at every turn as well as all her own partners.
He’s terribly mean, supposedly JLo was/is the love of his life and doing this to her is just mean. He didn’t have to do this, he could be an adult, instead he does this. Jeebus, talk about a guy who never left the weirdness of middle school dating.
I agree, this is cruel.
I believe that there is something going on with ” Kick “Kennedy. This is so giving me Katie Holmes/ Tom Cruise vibes. Katie also had a major crush on Tom Cruise, the celebrity. And look how that turned out! Too many gossip sites have been reporting on this now. I think Kick reminds me of ( the one he starred in Deep Water- I forget her name). Kick & Ben seem to share the share interests: being an activist, love of history & sadly partying. Ben looks like he is heading down the same ” Rabbit hole”. I believe that everyone knew that Ben had been hooking up at the Beverly Hills Hotel with Kick. That is Ben’s pattern with women. I believe that JL heard about it & wanted to get ahead of the story & so she filed & she wanted it to ” sting”, so she filed on the 2nd anniversary date. I feel that Ben being seen with Matt Damon & his wife was pr planned. Ben always seems to run to his ex wife, JG or Matt Damon when he needs good PR. Ben is messy & some things will never change…
BTW no denial from Ben camps…
What? I just read a denial from his rep in people online and not an unnamed ‘source’ they give the reps name. Says there is no truth to the rumor of him and kick. Of course he was about a day late with the denial now it is all over every tabloid.
That was a non denial, denial. His rep said he didn’t know if Ben even knew her.. how does he not know that? Why don’t you ask Ben? I believe there is something going on, as several different sources are saying they have been spotted together. He just didn’t want to get caught.
Doesn’t matter if you find it believable or not. I was just saying this publicist is the rep publications try to get on record to deny or admit any information that is published. And his rep of record denied it. That does mean more than unnamed sources. They maybe should go on record with their names instead of hiding behind gossip sites. If this is true.
Getting with a partier is the right thing to do after walking away from your wife because her lifestyle was supposedly putting your sobriety at risk. This was what his team repeatedly put out there, I wouldn’t be mad if it is indeed her team responding.
And… late spring, they were barely separated and JLo was still hoping to work it out… People were talking how she’ll have a new man in no time, I can imagine the comments if it were her that had been seeing someone since late spring. It’s totally OK if it’s Ben, though, after all, that diva sucked the life out of him, now he’s going to get his masculine groove back with a nice normal girl.
The fact that he pursued JLo, love bombed her, did everything to convince her he wouldn’t leave, wrote 12 pages wedding vows to ghost her in the end… The fact that he did it for a second time… And he did the same with Garner, only they had kids, so couldn’t unhook himself so easily, plus he got more flack because of her squeaky clean image.
Yeah, I hope this divorce is done as soon as possible and JLo never looks back. I don’t care that she’s cringe and a fool when it comes to love, this man is just an ass and is no victim of anyone but himself.
He had her engagement ring engraved with “not.going.anywhere.” Lol what a joke.
He was apparently talking about their marriage, not spending forever with her. I hope any woman who comes across this man remembers forever that he engraved her engagement ring with “not going anywhere”, and then checked out with a speed Flash would envy. He is gross.
To sum up:
1. Your first wife made you drink, because you felt “trapped”.
2. Your second wife is completely sober, but she was putting your sobriety “at risk”.
I had a crush on Armageddon Ben, but it didn’t last long.
Hmm if my math is right (haven’t had coffee yet) she would have been 11 when Armageddon came out. That’s a little young… but it’s possible. That was his prime hunky time.
I had a crush on him too then, but I was 17!
For those of you who haven’t hit your 50s yet, trust me: Ben looks good. So does Matt Damon. I’d climb either tree for a night, if either was unpartnered and available.
I’m in my 50s and I find him quite good-looking. I always have. I wouldn’t say “hunky” but that’s not really my jam anyway. I prefer, say, “Argo” Ben to “Armageddon” Ben. And I can see a woman in her mid 30s being attracted to him.
I think he’s a hot tamale! 🙂
I am 43 and prefer older men and yeah, he looks good for his age. Most men even in their 40s look ROUGH.
Kick looks like Fin who looks exactly like Ben.
Apparently “seeing each other” means shacking up in friends apartments. I would like to remind Ben that he is still a married man. JLo has every right to be furious, humiliated and lied to (not going anywhere).
She does, lol!
There have been reports that when Ben & JL were arguing ( which apparently was alot), Ben would stay at the Beverly Hills Hotel. ( there were reports of the same when Ben & JG are arguing). Ben was going there to ” hang- out”= hookup with ” Kick”. According to the DM, they had a fling after Ben broke up with Ana. ( who knows, it could have been even when he was still dating Ana) When Ben was hooking up with Shookus, they would also stay at the Beverly Hills Hotel. ( while married to JG) Apparently, it is no secret
that Ben has a room where he takes all his hook- ups. I would not be surprised if he ever took JL ( while married to JG) No guy I know goes to a hotel to be alone..
Ben already was papped dining with Matt Damon. Next will come the pics with JG & their children in 3, 2, 1…
Ok, this is NOT on Kick at all, but man, she’s got the double wammy of being associated with her insane dad and now Ben’s messy shenanigans!
Yeah, I am not going to paint her with her father’s brush. That’s not fair at all. I imagine it’s not easy being his kid right now (probably never was, given the whale head stunt). Now, she shouldn’t be hooking up with a married man. But that doesn’t make her an awful person, just a flawed one.
Ben has denied this Kick story through his publicist to people magazine online. Of course he’s late by about two days with the denial so it’s become set in gossip stone by now!
Is he back on Raya?
He sounds like my first two long term bfs, who are both addicts. The first became a sex addict and alcoholic after we broke up(he was addicted to porn and video games when we were together), had a love child while engaged to someone else, now he is divorced and doesn’t see any of his 3 kids. He contacted me during a stint in a 12 step program, but he seems to flit in-between addiction and 12 steps.
My second long term bf was TF boarding school kid who is still an alcoholic to this day. Kick sounds like she may be similar to this one too.
When they first got back together, it would have been the equivalent of me getting back together with either of the two exes I mentioned above, which are both a hard pass.
More will be revealed about both Ben and Jen, I hope. I know addicts relapse, but I’m not getting on that train until I hear evidence, and so far all I’ve seen is him staying out of the limelight (no sin and no evidence of relapse), walking with and being with his children, working, and his rep saying he isn’t with Kick and probably doesn’t even know her. I want to know what the sudden thing was that broke them up and kept him from working on the marriage.
I will never blame Ben for all of this. No, he’s not a saint, but I won’t blame him for all of it.
I do not believe Ben is with this other woman because we would have heard it from the rags before now. I still think it’s JLo’s people putting it out there because he left her and is not going back. I don’t believe she was spending all that time at his for his birthday. I wish that she would chill out like he is. It’s none of our business why they broke up it happens. I still think there were a lot of bad moves on her part again taking that selfie of her behind on the boat was the absolute worse thing for a 55 year woman to do. Shows desperation.
