Ben Affleck's spokesperson has spoken out on rumours that the actor has been spending time with Kick Kennedy following the news of his divorce from Jennifer Lopez.
Last Wednesday (21 August), it was confirmed that J.Lo, 55, had filed for divorce from Affleck following months of speculation over their marriage.
Back in July, a source told the Daily Mail that Lopez and Affleck - who'd previously dated back in the early noughties - had 'finalised the divorce papers' but were 'waiting for the right time to drop them'.

"At that time, they will release a joint statement that will say how they have much love for each other and how they fought to make it work, but couldn’t," they said.
Following the couple's split, rumours emerged that Affleck had been 'spending time' with Kathleen 'Kick' Kennedy, 36 - the daughter of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
However, following the reports, Affleck's spokesperson has spoken out and squashed the rumours.

According to PEOPLE, a spokesperson for the actor said: "There is no truth to any of it. I don't know if they even know each other."
As per court documents obtained on Wednesday by the BBC, J.Lo filed for divorce on 20 August in the Los Angeles County Superior Court.
Neither Lopez or Affleck have publicly commented on their split.
However, a new detail has emerged regarding one major request that Lopez reportedly asked for.

According to USA Today - who reviewed the musician's divorce filing - she has filed an official request to revert back to her maiden name, which means the singer would once again be known as 'Jennifer Lynn Lopez'.
According to a legal source speaking to People, the filing 'speaks a ton'.
Tyla has contacted Jennifer and Ben's respective representatives for comment.

Fans of the couple were left gutted when news emerged that Lopez had filed for divorce.
When the pair reunited a couple of years ago after first dating back in the early noughties, many were overjoyed that they had resumed their relationship so many years later.
Speaking about Affleck while discussing her 2024 album, Lopez referred to the actor as the 'love of my life'.
"Twenty years, I ago I fell in love with the love of my life and during that time I was making an album called This Is Me...Then," Lopez told a crowd in her documentary This Is Me... Now: A Love Story.

"I hadn’t made an album since then. Eighteen years later, we got back together and I was very inspired."
