A source tells us it was the “Justice League” star’s idea for the former pair to meet at the high-profile spot in hopes of getting their pic snapped.
But Affleck apparently wasn’t counting on finding the “On The Floor” singer so irresistible in person, says our source.
“Once they were together, he could not keep his hands off,” our source said.

The insider added, “They have always had a lot of sexual chemistry. That was not planned. They are still attracted to one another.”
“It was Ben Affleck’s idea to meet there,” the insider said. “He wanted to show that they are friendly exes.”
“He wanted those photos,” the source explains. “You go there when you want to be seen. Paparazzi hang out there.”

The pair were also photographed having a seemingly intense conversation in a car outside the hotel.
Two of Affleck’s children, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12 — and Lopez’s twins, Emme and Max, 16 — are close and sat at a different table during the family brunch outing.
But reports said Bennifer’s PDA-filled reunion doesn’t mean a reconciliation. A source told People: “[Lopez is] trying to be friendly with Ben. They are still moving forward with the divorce though .”
Affleck could not resist the singer’s charms. jlo/Instagram Lopez filed for divorce from Affleck on the couple’s second wedding anniversary last month. BlueLoveImages /LAGOSSIPTV / BACKGRID
“A divorce is never easy, but Jennifer doesn’t want to be selfish about it,” a source told People . “The kids always got along and have fun together. It makes her happy seeing the kids happy together. Happy kids are her priority.”
Lopez was photographed smiling on Sunday as she arrived at a friend’s house in LA, the day after the brunch meeting.
