Ben Affleck's team is shooting down his latest relationship rumor.

A representative for the "Gone Girl" star told USA TODAY on Wednesday there is "no truth to any rumor" that he is dating Kathleen "Kick" Kennedy, daughter of former independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

"Not hanging out," the spokesperson, Jen Allen, said in an email. "Not dating. No outing."

News of the spokesperson's denial was previously reported by People magazine.

In recent days, Page Six and People both reported that Affleck, 52, has been spending time with Kennedy, 36, amid his divorce from Jennifer Lopez, though it wasn't clear if they were romantically involved.

Kathleen "Kick" Kennedy is one of two children Robert F. Kennedy Jr. welcomed with his first wife, Emily Black, and she is the politician's eldest daughter. He also has four children from his marriage to Mary Richardson.

The relationship rumors came days after Lopez filed to divorce Affleck in Los Angeles Superior Court on the second anniversary of their Georgia wedding ceremony and after months of reports about trouble in their marriage. Their date of separation was listed as April 26.

Affleck and Lopez first dated in the early 2000s and got engaged in 2002. After calling off their first engagement in 2004, the two both moved on to other marriages before reconnecting and getting married in 2022. Amid their divorce, Lopez has requested to change her name back from Jennifer Lynn Affleck to Jennifer Lynn Lopez.

On Friday, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. suspended his campaign for president as an independent and endorsed former President Donald Trump. His sister, Kerry Kennedy, and other relatives subsequently shared a statement describing the decision to endorse Trump as a "betrayal of the values that our father and our family hold most dear."

In an interview on "Fox News Sunday," Kennedy said, "I understand that they're troubled by my decisions. But, you know, I think we all need to be able to disagree with each other and still love each other."

Kick Kennedy recently made headlines over a resurfaced profile in Town & Country Magazine from 2012, where she revealed that when she was a kid, her father used a chainsaw to cut off the head of a dead whale that had washed up on the beach. He then "bungee-corded it to the roof of the family minivan," the article said.

"Every time we accelerated on the highway, whale juice would pour into the windows of the car, and it was the rankest thing on the planet," she told the outlet.

The Center for Biological Diversity Action Fund subsequently called for RFK Jr. to be investigated, writing in a letter obtained by USA TODAY, "There are good reasons why it is illegal for any person to collect or keep parts of any endangered species."
