Actress Kate Beckinsale has reportedly turned towards actor Ben Affleck after splitting from her husband Len Wiseman.
Beckinsale and Affleck, who reportedly had a brief fling after filming "Pearl Harbor" in 2001, have been spending time together following their respective splits, reports aceshowbiz.com.
According to sources quoted by The Sun, a "spark" remains between Beckinsale and Affleck.
"Kate used to be madly in love with Ben. He would make her giddy with excitement any time they were in the same room. She's turned to him for support as a friend because they've stayed in touch during her difficult time," the source said.
Friends of the duo are reportedly pushing for the couple to get together again.
"Some of their friends have suggested that they're made for each other and should give a proper relationship a go," the source added.
The news of Beckinsale's split came after Wiseman was spotted with a 24-year-old model named CJ Franco while heading to a restaurant in Hollywood.
