Fresh from announcing last week that he and wife of 10 years Jennifer Garner are calling time on their marriage, it’s been revealed that the actor is growing closer to his gorgeous Aussie co-star Margot Robbie.

Meeting on the Canadian set of new superhero film Suicide Squad, in which Ben makes an appearance as Batman, it’s believed he was thrilled to meet the Queensland-raised blonde – who he is seen shooting a scene with in the above picture.

Ben reportedly describes Margot as “the sexiest woman in Hollywood”.

“Ben has had the hots for Margot ever since he saw her in The Wolf of Wall Street,” a source tells the magazine, which is on newsstands today. “As far as Ben is concerned, Margot is the sexiest woman in Hollywood right now.”

The magazine reports that 25-year-old Margot, who is in a relationship with assistant director Tom Ackerley, is “aware of Ben’s infatuation” but was wary about him being a married man. But now that she knows he is single, Woman’s Day says all bets could be off.

Jennifer and Ben say their split is amicable.
