Ben caught with a Courtney lookalike - He certainly isn't acting like an engaged man

We knew this relationship didn’t stand much chance of lasting- and it appears we were right.

Just days before his emotional (cough) reunion with Courtney Roberston, Ben  was cozying up to a hot brunette.

Surprised? No we aren’t either.

Life & Style magazine has all the details….

At 9 p.m., the group left Marlowe and headed to Lion Pub. “He and his friends were taking shots and he was talking to several women who recognized him there.” Ben chatted with a woman in a sheer top, and around 1 a.m., he then climbed in a cab with her and they sped off together. “It was like he was looking around and thinking about it before he did it,” a fellow pubgoer reveals. Though an insider says he dropped the brunette off before he went home, it’s clear he’s been eager to interact with his female admirers.

“Guess he’s not engaged,” noted Tiger Woods’ ex, San Francisco resident Rachel Uchitel, when she saw him on March 11.

But he is! On the After The Rose special, Ben said he and Courtney plan to move forward with their relationship. But, while theproposal was genuine, an insider tells Life & Style things are not as rosy between the two anymore. In fact, they may just stay together for the fame. “Courtney’s tears are all bulls—. She wants to get everything she can out of this,” the insider reveals to Life & Style.

“And don’t feel bad for Ben either,” the insider insists. “His winery is doing well, so it’s a win-win for both of them.”

“They’re going to milk it as long as they can,” the insider adds.
