The Hollywood beauty announced she had split from her husband Ryan Reynolds last month after two years of marriage. Scarlett has been enjoying her newfound freedom in recent weeks and was spotted laughing and joking with the comic star at Father’s Office bar in Santa Monica on Saturday night. The pair enjoyed beer, burgers and fries with Jason’s Saturday Night Live co-star Will Forte and another lady.
"It definitely looked like a double date!" a source told Life & Style. "Scarlett and Jason were flirting and making lots of eye contact. He reached across the table twice to grab her hand."
Even though the 26-year-old appeared to be having a great time with Jason, onlookers claim she was constantly looking at her cell phone.
"Scarlett kept checking her phone like crazy," added the source. "She was distracted, but it definitely seemed like a double date."
A representative for the actress has denied Scarlett is dating 35-year-old Jason, insisting they have formed a friendship after working together.
"After hosting Saturday Night Live three times, they've all become friends," the representative told the publication.
Jason is not the first man Scarlett has been romantically linked to in the past month. She has reportedly been spotted flirting with actors Leonardo DiCaprio, Jake Gyllenhaal and Kevin Connolly at various showbiz events.
