In the whirlwind world of celebrity romances, Ben Affleck is once again at the center of attention, following rumors linking him to Kit Kennedy, the daughter of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
This speculation arises during his ongoing separation from Jennifer Lopez.
While the details remain murky and unconfirmed, it seems that Affleck has a recurring trend of quickly moving on after his relationships end.
Fans of the actor may recall that shortly after announcing his split from Jennifer Garner, he was rumored to be involved with his children’s nanny, Christine Uzunian.
Garner herself attempted to downplay any suggestion of infidelity, asserting in a 2016 Vanity Fair interview that their separation had been in the works long before news of the nanny surfaced.
“We had been separated for months before I heard about the nanny,” she stated, emphasizing that Uzunian played no role in their decision to divorce.
Despite these denials, Affleck’s post-divorce dating behavior tells a different story.
After his relationship with Uzunian, he began dating Lindsay Shookus, a producer from Saturday Night Live.
Their romance spanned from 2017 to 2018, but insiders revealed that their connection actually began years earlier, during his marriage to Garner.
According to a source from People, Affleck confronted Shookus about their affair back in 2015, leading to significant tension.
The drama didn’t stop there.
Following his breakup with Shookus, Affleck was quickly linked to Playboy model Shauna Sexton, who was just 22 years old at the time.
Their fling garnered considerable media attention, particularly as it coincided with Affleck’s admission to rehab in 2018.
Sexton defended herself against accusations of being a negative influence, stating on Instagram, “It’s ridiculous to blame a 22-year-old for someone’s third trip to rehab.
I’m human too.”
Their brief relationship ended as Affleck reconciled with Shookus in 2019 after getting sober, highlighting a pattern of rapid rebounds in his love life.
His latest rumored connection with Kennedy only reinforces this trend.
It raises the question: is it time for Affleck to hit pause and prioritize his own well-being?
Interestingly, Affleck appears to maintain a strong bond with his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, even post-divorce.
The two have been spotted vacationing together and supporting each other in parenting duties, which has reportedly caused some discomfort for Garner’s current boyfriend, John Miller.
Sources suggest that Miller is not entirely comfortable with the closeness between Garner and Affleck.
Recent reports indicated that Miller has expressed displeasure over Affleck’s frequent calls to Garner, leading to speculation about potential strains in his relationship with her.
However, in true Garner and Miller fashion, the couple has made efforts to quell breakup rumors with public appearances, including a recent romantic dinner captured by the Daily Mail.
Photos from their outing show Garner dressed casually in a navy sweater adorned with gold jewelry, while Miller opted for a laid-back white-and-blue ensemble.
Despite the swirling rumors, the couple seemed more united than ever, suggesting that they are navigating the complexities of Garner’s relationship with her ex-husband.
Yet, insiders maintain that Miller struggles with sharing Garner’s attention with Affleck.
“John doesn’t like sharing Jen, and there’s definitely tension when it comes to her relationship with Ben,” a source revealed, hinting at the underlying dynamics at play.
As Affleck’s romantic history continues to unfold, it remains to be seen whether he will take a step back to reflect on his patterns or if he will continue to embrace the whirlwind of new relationships.
For now, the spotlight remains firmly fixed on him, as fans and tabloids alike speculate about his next move in the realm of love.
