He wore jeans and a navy blue t-shirt on the outing.
The famous movie star was beaming from ear to ear as he carried a bag of food.
Ben, 52, grabbed a bite to eat at the Polo Lounge at the Beverly Hills Hotel with Kathleen “Kick” Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy Jr’s daughter, the day before his fast food run.
He and Kick visited other celebrity hotspots this past week.
A source close to the pair told Page Six that this was not the first time they met.
Ben and Jennifer, also known as JLo, filed for divorce last week after two years of marriage.
BENNIFER OVER
Ben didn’t waste any time moving on from Jennifer, 55.
The singer filed for divorce on August 20, according to TMZ.
She filed legal documents in the Los Angeles County Superior Court without an attorney.
The singer listed the date of separation as April 26, 2024.
Ironically, the date of the filing is Ben and Jennifer’s second anniversary of their traditional wedding ceremony in Georgia.
The duo originally tied the knot in a July 2022 Las Vegas ceremony.
Sources told TMZ that the couple did not have a pre-nuptial agreement.
That means whatever earnings or profit the exes made during their two-year marriage is community property.
