There’s no bad blood between former couple Kate Beckinsale and comic Matt Rife — despite the comic previously publicly telling her ex, Pete Davidson, to “run.”
A source tells us they spotted the May-December exes, Beckinsale, 51, and Rife, 29, smooching at Spago during Netflix’s bash following the Golden Globes on Sunday.
“They were kissing and being affectionate with one another,” says a spy, who described it all in more romantic terms than a make-out session.
“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.”
Another source tells us of the interaction — which they also said wasn’t making out, “They are friendly exes and were having some funny conversations.”
The “Underworld” star and Rife dated in 2017 when the gorgeous actress was 43 and he was 21.
The pair reportedly met through a mutual friend, and they split after a year.
The sweet moment at the Globes bash, “happened near the end of the night,” recounted our spy. “They were in front of everyone in the corner of the main dining room. By this time it wasn’t packed, people were filtering out.”
In 2019, the comic made a jab at Beckinsale publicly while she was dating Davidson, telling TMZ his relationship with Beckinsale “was complicated,” and advising the onetime “SNL” star to “run.”
“Man to man: run,” he said on camera. “Enjoy it while you can. I hope they’re both happy.”
He went on to also advise Davidson, “Be careful.”
During the interview, Rife was also asked if he’d ever get back with the “Serendipity” star, to which he firmly replied, “Not a chance.”
“It was complicated,” he said. “A lot of ups and downs, but she’s moved on and I’m happy.”
Rife later apologized for the comments, saying he regretted publicly dissing Beckinsale, and adding that he was being “a petty a-hole.”
“I gave that advice because I was only speaking from personal experience, having been together and finding out that we weren’t the most compatible match,” he told Elle.
“I wanted to make sure that both of them were careful with their emotions and didn’t head into something that they also wouldn’t, that also wouldn’t work out.”
Reps for both stars did not respond to a request for comment.
The “Van Helsing” actress has been known to get flirty at the Globes before.
In 2019 Beckinsale was spotted flirting with Davidson after the Golden Globes, and they ended up dating for a couple of months before breaking up.
A year later — again after the Globes in 2020 — Beckinsale was spotted leaving an party with Machine Gun Kelly, according to photos obtained by Page Six at the time.
Selena Gomez, Benny Blanco and Zoe Saldaña were also at the Netflix bash.
Beckinsale was also spotted at a Golden Globes afterparty hosted by Jas Mathur and Michael Braun.
Earlier at the awards, Rife shared the low-key way he got ready with Page Six: “I had my stylist come over and zhuzh my hair a little bit,” he told us.
