The Kennedy name is synonymous with American politics, power, and style. A new crop of talent now takes the stage, with their all-new narratives that resonate within the public realm. The most recent Kennedy to electrify is Kick. However, who is she—wwhy has she suddenly been linked to the likes of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez—aand what on earth was that bizarre story about a whalehead? Let’s break it down.
Who is Kick Kennedy?
Kennedy, whose full name is Kathleen Alexandra Kennedy, 36 years old and granddaughter of former U.S. Attorney General Robert F. Wunused John F. Kennedy sisters The event is being organised by Kick Kennedy, a controversial pop culture figure in her own right, who just happens to be the daughter of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., famous for his fringe anti-vaccination beliefs and bizarre public appearances (he was seen dancing around with assorted Kenyan drunks while naked after emerging from actress Cheryl Hines’ pool during one such incident). The mother, Emily Ruth Black, is the first wife of RFK Jr. Kick has an elder sister, Robert Kennedy III, and four younger half-siblings, including Taylor Swift-ex-Conor Kennedy.
“Kick” was a family nickname. She took her name from a great-aunt, Kathleen “Kick” Kennedy (JFK and RFK Sr.’s sister). The first Kick was a free-spirited lady; she made headlines as the non-Catholic mistress of a British nobleman. As a result, it broke up her family so completely that when she was killed in an aeroplane crash in 1948, only her father showed up at the funeral. The younger Kick, meanwhile, is on better terms with her family and yet still under the media spotlight for different reasons.
How did Kick Kennedy turn into a tabloid’s dream?
In news reports, Kick Kennedy was recently in the spotlight with rumours of a connection to Ben Affleck after his breakup from Jennifer Lopez. Though a spokesperson for Affleck rejected the rumours, claiming they aren’t even familiar with one another.
Yet, the gossip didn’t stop. Kick is a vibrant socialite who party insiders say loves a good fete and the celebrity scene. Rumours of a relationship with Ben Affleck aside, it seems Jodie Turner-Smith is simply good at getting attention.
What Does Kick Kennedy Do?
Kick Kennedy has dabbled in many careers. She later studied history at Stanford University and went on to act.
Kick has worked in the art world for many years now. As of 2022, she is working at an art gallery called False Flag after being profiled by Vanity Fair. In addition to her career, she has a hand in philanthropy and humanitarian work (with a very special focus on clean water access). It’s a familial cause—hher father, RFK Jr., was an environmental activist, and his political career became just as controversial.
The Bizarre Whale Story
But in this colourful life of Kick Kennedy, one saga stands out. She recalled a story from her childhood involving, of all things, a dead whale in an interview with Town & Country in 2012. One of them: a whale carcass that washed ashore near the Kennedy compound in Cape Cod. Her father, an intrepid man, eventually hit the whale; then he returned with his chainsaw and cut off its head to bring it back home on top of their car. Only six, Kick still recalls the five-hour drive back to Mount Kisco, steamy whale juice seeping through just saying anywhere on their car they had hit 55.
The animal pen was just one of various wacky things to envelop the life at that time of RFK Jr., who had once filled Central Park with a bear carcass and reportedly served what some believed was barbecued dog (he claimed it was goat). These out-of-the-ordinary escapades were common occurrences with the Kennedys to Kick.
What About Her Love Life?
Kick Kennedy relationships have also been a huge public interest topic. By 2013, rumours started circulating that she was dating the music legend Paul Simon’s son Harper. It was reportedly that he even got her an old Mercedes.
Recent Kick rumours—one being that it landed Ben Affleck! But, this being the Kennedys we’re talking about, fact is often woven tightly into fiction.

An actress turned art gallery staffer, a Kennedy and society girl with a cause dancing to her own beat.
