One of the latest Ben Affleck's updates seem to ignite rumors about him and his former girlfriend, Kate Beckinsale. It is said that she reached out to him immediately after her marriage with director Len Wiseman faltered off.
Beckinsale, 42, and Affleck, 43, were an item for a short time while filming the movie "Pearl Harbor" in 2001. After her split with Wiseman in February, it is said that the "Underworld" actress finds comfort with her ex-boyfriend, who consoled her during the difficult times. The two have remained friends throughout the years. Now, Beckinsale's close friends believe that there's still a "spark" between the "Pearl Harbor" co-stars adding there's no harm if they will begin dating now as both of them are now free, The Sun reports.
"Kate used to be madly in love with Ben. He would make her giddy with excitement any time they were in the same room," a source said. During Beckinsale's separation from Wiseman, the 42-year-old actress reportedly "turned to him for support as a friend because they've stayed in touch during her difficult time." Some of their pals think that the two are made for each other and should try another shot on a proper relationship.
Affleck and Beckinsale are believed to have enjoyed a short romance during the making of the 2001 Michael Bay war romance film when she's having a rough patch with her long-time boyfriend, Michael Sheen. After Affleck and Beckinsale's movie together, their chemistry on-screen faded immediately as she started dating her former husband, Wiseman. On the other hand, the "Batman" star married Jennifer Garner and separated with her in June after 10 years of being together, Daily Mail reports.
A source claimed that the most recent Affleck's updates have no basis as the "Argo" star has been busy with his work, and is focusing his time with his kids. A rep for Beckinsale told the whole story between Affleck and the "Van Helsing" star are totally untrue and has no validity. Do you think there's truth about Beckinsale and Affleck's romance?
