The Thirst Is Real ! Ben's Hitting On Ex kate!

The actor’s still, ahem, harbouring some feelings for his gorgeous former flame!

He’s lost out on a reunion with ex-wife Jennifer Garner, so Ben Affleck is now turning his attention to another ex – Kate Beckinsale!

“He’s always said Kate’s one of – if not the hottest woman he’s ever dated, and he’s sat back in wonder at how beautiful she’s gotten over time,” an insider tells NW. “They’re still on OK terms but now he’s trying to take it further and has been dropping some pretty heavy hints since she split with Pete Davidson. Ben’s missing some fun in his life and reckons they’d both enjoy some no-strings fun, then see where it takes them.”
