Affleck out and about after the divorce

While Lopez maintained a low profile and has not been seen in public since her divorce, Affleck made numerous appearances. The Batman actor was spotted hanging out with Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s 36-year-old daughter, Kick Kennedy on several occasions.

He was also spotted at a lunch with his best pal, Matt Damon and the latter’s wife Luciana. He seemed to be in good spirits as he visited the Italian restaurant Toscana on Sunday, August 25. The actor is dealing with his divorce as he is confiding in his Good Will Hunting co-star, as reported by Entertainment Tonight.

Sources said that the couple’s issue began with the public lifestyle Lopez followed which Affleck detested. The issue was sustained when they were on their honeymoon in Lake Como, Italy where paparazzi continuously followed the couple. The insider said, “He was unhappy with paparazzi following them. She is an international superstar, and he acted like it came as a surprise that they would be followed around,” as reported by Page Six.
