Ben Affleck “couldn’t keep his hands off” Jennifer Lopez during brunch on Saturday, a source told Page Six exclusively.
The “Argo” director wanted to meet his estranged wife at the Beverly Hills Hotel to show they were “friends” and have their photos taken.
But sources tell us exclusively that he just can’t seem to stay away from his ex-wife.
The estranged couple were spotted having brunch with their kids at the famous Polo Lounge in Beverly Hills, California on Saturday – and the stars were spotted “holding hands and kissing.”
A source told Us that it was the “Justice League” star’s idea to have the former couple meet up at the high-profile location so they could be photographed.
But our source says Affleck didn’t expect to find the “On the Floor” singer so attractive in person.
“Once they got together, he couldn’t stay away from her,” our source explained.
“They've always had a lot of sex. It wasn't planned. They're still attracted to each other,” the insider added.
“It was Ben Affleck's idea to meet there,” the insider explained. “He wanted to show that they were friendly exes.”
“He wanted those pictures,” the source explains. “You go there when you want to be seen. The paparazzi hang out there.”
The two were also photographed having an intense conversation in the car outside the hotel.
Affleck's two children, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12 — and Lopez's twins, Emme and Max, 16 — are very close to each other and were seated at separate tables during the family brunch.
But reports say Bennifer's PDA-filled reunion does not mean a reconciliation. A source told People: “[Lopez is] I'm trying to be friendly with Ben. They're still moving toward divorce though.”
Lopez filed for divorce from Affleck last month on their second wedding anniversary.
A source told Us at the time that it was their way of “standing their ground,” and that they cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for their split.
At the weekend brunch, Lopez wore her engagement ring on her little finger, possibly symbolically, and a “Jennifer” ring on her wedding finger.
They reportedly do not have a pre-nup (pre-marriage contract).
“Divorce is never easy, but Jennifer doesn't want to be selfish about it,” a source told People. “The kids are always there and have fun together. It makes her happy to see the kids happy together. Happy kids are her priority.”
On Sunday, the day after the brunch meeting, Lopez was photographed smiling as she arrived at a friend's home in Los Angeles.
The hotel has long been a favourite of celebrities. Stars recently spotted here include Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, Oprah Winfrey, and Jay-Z and Beyoncé.
