Kate Beckinsale and Matt Rife may be giving love a second shot. The actress, 51, and the comedian, 29, were spotted sharing an intimate moment together over the weekend. The duo previously dated nearly a decade ago. However, it seems that they haven’t let go of some of their old feelings. The duo was seen locking lips at a Netflix party following the Golden Globes on Sunday, and some fans were surprised by the hook-up.
“She has the worst taste in men,” one person commented.
“Kate is simply a total embarrassment,” another stated.
“Somehow it’s weirder the second time around,” a third person quipped.
According to Page Six, Kate Beckinsale previously dated Matt Rife back in 2017. At the time, she was 43, and he was just 21. The pair were introduced to one another through a mutual friend and hit it off. They dated for a year and split in 2018. The following year, Rife made a joke about his former girlfriend, who was then dating fellow comedian Pete Davidson. “Man to man: run,” he said.

“They were kissing and being affectionate with one another. Her arms were around his neck. and his arms and hands were around her waist… They were very close and then I saw them kiss a couple times,” one source revealed. “They are friendly exes and were having some funny conversations,” said another.
