UsMagazine.com is reporting that Jessica Biel, 29, was spotted getting cozy with Gerard Butler, her co-star in the upcoming movie 'Playing the Field,' just five days after the announcement of the surprise split.
Biel and Butler, 41, were first spotted together at a crew member's birthday party at a restaurant in Shreveport, La., where the film is being shot.
A few days later, the couple was seen enjoying cocktails together, and reports have said that Biel and Butler have gone out for dinner a few times.
But a source close to Biel is reported saying that she only wants to be friends with the '300' actor.
A friend of Butler's told E! Online not to expect things to get serious between the two actors. "Gerard says he wants to settle down eventually, but he won't anytime soon, promise, and not with Jessica."

Gerard Butler and Olivier Martinez have been fighting over the size of their penises!
Butler apparently started teasing the hunky French actor — who’s currently dating actress Halle Berry — about how Frenchmen fail in the bedroom department on a night out at LA’s Chateau Marmont.
“Halle, Gerard and Olivier were all having a nice conversation at a table when things suddenly took a turn for the worse,” a source said.
“Gerard began mucking around, bragging about Scotsmen and the size of their packages. He was joking that he could wear kilts and no undies because he was a ‘real man’, and that other Europeans wouldn’t be able to pull a kilt off.
“As the conversation continued, he got more lewd — and funny — but Olivier got less and less impressed. After one gag too many at his expense, he stood up and confronted Gerry.
“Olivier was red in the face and gesticulating wildly. So Halle told them both to lighten up.”

Born in Paisley, Scotland, to Margaret and Edward Butler, Gerard Butler was raised along with his older brother and sister in his hometown of Paisley, Scotland. He also spent some of his youth in Canada. His parents divorced when he was a child, and he and his siblings were raised primarily by their mother, who later remarried.
film debut was as Billy Connolly's younger brother in "Mrs. Brown (1997)". His film career continued with small roles, first in the James Bond movie Tomorrow Never Dies (1997) and then Russell Mulcahy's Tale of the Mummy (1998). In 2000, Butler was cast in two breakthrough roles, the first being Attila the Hun in the USA film Attila (2001/I) and Wes Craven's new take on the Dracula legacy - Dracula 2000 (2000).
The role that garnered him most attention from both moviegoers and movie makers alike was that of Andre Marek in the big-screen adaptation of Michael Crichton's novel Timeline (2003). He appeared in Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical The Phantom of the Opera (2004), playing the title character in the successful adaptation of the stage musical. It was a role that brought him much international attention. Other projects include Dear Frankie (2004), The Game of Their Lives (2005) and Beowulf & Grendel (2005).
In 2007 he starred as Spartan King Leonidas in the Warner Bros. production 300 (2006), based on the Frank Miller graphic novel, which brought him into the A-list sphere.
