Hugh Jackman and Kate Beckinsale caused a stir a few weeks ago when the former teammates were spotted having a good time at Wimbledon.
Hugh and Kate hugged and whispered in each other’s ears as they enjoyed the game from the Royal Box.
The recently single Wolverine star couldn’t keep the smile off his face as he brought the laughs to the audience alongside his former Van Helsing co-star.
It’s not the first time the genetically blessed couple has been caught flirting.
The longtime friends are featured in several photos taken when they first appeared on-screen as lovers in the 2004 film Van Helsing.
Photos from the red carpet show the couple looking and smiling lovingly at each other, with Hugh, 55, placing his hands on Kate’s waist and back while the actress, 50, holds his shoulders.
The duo also had strong chemistry on the set of their hit horror action film in the early 2000s, when they played monster hunters who eventually became lovers.
After reuniting at Wimbledon this year, many fans took to social media to praise the pair, calling them a “great duo.”

“Fantastic to see,” one person wrote, while another noted, “A good match, honestly.”
“She’s smart enough to know he’s a good match,” added another.
“Oh what an amazing couple they would make,” someone else said, while yet another wrote: “What an amazing couple.”
One of them pointed out their exciting past together and said: ‘He’s been thinking about her since 2004. Find something, mate!’
As for Hugh’s ex-wife Deborra-Lee Furness, who the actor split with in September last year, an insider revealed what the Australian actress thinks of the potential match.
“She wants Hugh to move on with his life and is concerned he is terrified of taking that first step,” the source told New Idea.

‘Hugh and Deb often ran into Kate at events in New York, but they never had anything more than a working relationship.’
However, the insider added that there were “huge sparks flying” between Hugh and Kate when they were at Wimbledon together.
“This was more than just Hugh’s naturally flirtatious ways. You could tell he was quite taken with his old co-star,” they said.
Hugh had a great time with fellow A-lister Kate as they sat next to each other at the Wimbledon Championships on July 13.

“Amazing to see,” one person wrote, while others commented, “Good match to be honest,” and “Look at his face. He is madly in love.”
