George Clooney who recently split from Stacy Keibler, has apparently set his brooding eye on Eva Longoria.
George is reportedly determined to make the actress his next girlfriend — even though she's telling the world how happy she is with current boyfriend Ernesto Arguello.
He was a contestant on the US reality telly show Ready For Love, which Eva produced last year.
After becoming good friends working on Barack Obama's Presidential campaign together, George and the Desperate Housewives actress have apparently enjoyed a string of secret dates.
A source said of the pair: "They've become even closer just recently and George is smitten.
"Chemistry is palpable whenever they're in the same room and mutual friends have been backing the union, saying what a great couple they'd make.
"They're both really smart and have very passionate political beliefs in common.
"It's rare to find someone of a similar fame level and of equal intelligence. It's the full package.
"Eva is enjoying her summer fling in the States, but she's flattered by George's attentions."
In a bid to get Eva to himself, George has invited her out to his Italian home on the banks of Lake Como next month.
A source added: "George is in Italy and Eva's in Los Angeles but he's asking her to visit.
"While he openly admits he has a massive crush on her he knows he has to respect she's seeing Ernesto.
"Even so, he's hoping she'll accept his invitation."
However taking to her Twitter account on Thursday evening, Eva said: 'As interesting as the George Clooney rumours are, they aren't true. George and I have been friends for years.'
