Speaking about the new friendship, a source said: "Alex is not thrilled.

The singer and actress is reportedly "very happy" at the moment.

The insider added to People magazine: "Jennifer seems very happy. She tried for a long time to get her relationship with Alex to work. She feels good that she decided to break it off. She just doesn't trust him and didn't want to waste any more time."

The comments come after it was revealed Ben "reached out" to Jennifer "as a friend".

An insider said: "Ben reached out to Jennifer as a friend. He was basically checking up on her. He was single and thought she might be single, too .. It was in no way disrespectful, because he really thought she wasn't with Alex anymore.”

Jennifer has been speaking to Ben "every day" after they spent time together in Montana Another insider said: "Jennifer is in touch with Ben every day. They are making plans to see each other. Jennifer is still very excited about how things are going with Ben ...

"It doesn't seem possible that [Jennifer] would ever get back with Alex, but I can't say that about Ben. Time has passed, and they are each in a different place with children."
