Ben Affleck, who has won three Golden Globe Awards and two Academy Awards and the English actress who made her film debut in the comedy play by William Shakespeare - Much Ado About Nothing - Kate Beckinsale, have reportedly had a brief fling after filming Pearl Harbor (American romance action war film) back in 2001. And lately rumor has it that Ben Affleck and Kate Beckinsale have been spending time together after their respective breakups.

As stated by some media outlets, Ben Affleck and Kate Beckinsale have been finding comfort in each other after their recent splits. Media outlets claimed that Affleck and Beckinsale have been thinking about dating again, now that Ben has separated from the American actress and film producer - Jennifer Garner and Kate Beckinsale split from her husband, the American film director, screenwriter and producer - Len Wiseman.

It has been claimed that friends of both Ben Affleck and Kate Beckinsale are actually pushing for the stars to get together again.

A source revealed to the publication that, "Kate used to be madly in love with Ben. He would make her giddy with excitement any time they were in the same room." 

However, way back in 2011, neither Ben Affleck nor Kate Beckinsale ever admitted to the rumors although it was heavily reported at the time.

It has also been said that after Kate Beckinsale and the Underworld (series of action horror films) director broke up in February, Ben Affleck, who also separated from Jennifer Garner five months ago, actually became a shoulder to cry on for Kate.

The source also said that, "Kate Beckinsale has turned to Ben Affleck for support as a friend, for the reason that they've stayed in touch during her difficult time."

Just last week, Len Wiseman made headlines after he was spotted without his wedding ring while going out with 24-year-old model CJ Franco.
