Ben Affleck gushed to his ex-wife Jennifer Lopez that she\u2019s \u201cincredible<\/a>\u201d at the premiere<\/a> of her new movie, The Kiss of the Spider Woman, on Monday, October 6 \u2014\u00a0and pals are warning him to back off, an insider tells Globe.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe bristles at people who ask him about the chances of getting back together with J.Lo, but then he\u2019ll cozy up to her on the red carpet, whispering sweet nothings in her ear and wrapping his arm tight around her waist,\u201d the insider says of the Oscar winner, 53, and the pop star, 56.<\/p>\n

While it behooves him to play nice<\/a> because he\u2019s a producer<\/a> of the film, the Accountant star \u201calso just couldn\u2019t help himself,\u201d adds the insider, adding that his behavior only served to boost the \u201cIf You Had My Love\u201d singer\u2019s hopes.<\/p>\n

On The JLO<\/p>\n

\u201cFor J.Lo it\u2019s proof that the dream\u2019s still alive and she\u2019s convinced the third time will be the charm for them if Ben just takes a leap of faith and gives it one last shot,\u201d continues the insider. \u201cBut Ben\u2019s saying the most he\u2019d be interested in is an occasional booty call. He\u2019s got no interest<\/a> in living with all of her drama 24\/7.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since he\u2019s made it clear a reunion is out of the question, their mutual friends are begging him to stop being so \u201cchildish and insensitive,\u201d says the insider. \u201cHe can\u2019t keep playing with her feelings like this. It\u2019s cruel.\u201d<\/p>\n
