Limitless devotion to Lopez!

Bradley Cooper pulled out all the stops to woo Jennifer Lopez, sources reveal in the new Us Weekly.

After a talked-about, candlelit dinner date at NYC's chi-chi eatery Per Se Sept. 10, the 36-year-old Limitless actor stepped up his seduction game again -- this time with a secret flight to Boca Raton, Florida.

PHOTOS: How Jennifer's style has morphed for her men

Cooper checked into the posh Boca Beach Club resort where Lopez, 42, was staying with 3-year-old twins Emme and Max as she shot the 2012 thriller Parker.

"They checked in one day apart," a source says of the posh Boca Beach Club. Ever since she and Marc Anthony ended their seven-year marriage in July, the singer, actress, American Idol judge and designer "has been trying to concentrate on her kids and work," a friend explains. "But Bradley has been especially eager."

Cooper, who split with Renee Zellweger after two years together in March, "has been after Jennifer, calling her, for ages," the friend says.

And Lopez, at last, has decided to "let him in."

Adds another source: "She likes the thrill and the fact that Bradley has been pursuing her."

    Dear BradLo: Please do not procreate.

    So he has been wooing her for a "long time"? Does this mean prior to seperation from her husband, Marc? Sure it does. Lots of temptation from someone who was preying on her weaknesses. That is not love.

    He's a Tiger and she's a rooster so that would never work out, its just the pure lust that will keep them together, but I wonder what her ex husband will do!! So enjoy each other while they can!!!! And she should think about her children it just ads confusion for them, from what is mommy doing with this strange man????

    So wish he would get back together with his FIRST Jennifer - Espisito. They were married long ago, loved them together! JLo's been married THREE TIMES! Sometimes healthy to accept what you're not good at and try something new.

    He was just at west end ave grill in Abington PA

    He's hot...she would be dumb not to at least have some fun with him.

    Whatever works...first, there is only one life to live, no rehearsal, just this little life, so have fun and live it...and second. it is definitely not our business, when two beautiful grown up people who we do not know decide to spend time together.

    i pray u find love in him. . .you only live once. . .

  • October 22, 2011 - 3:58am Angeline Lahey

    Jen, go for it. You only live once. You won't know if it doesn't work out if you don't give it a chance.

  • October 22, 2011 - 2:37am Shannon Burmatoff

    Wow you don't waste anytime do you Jennifer? I feel sorry for your kids

  • October 22, 2011 - 1:22am Charles Swabey

    She's a Leo, he a Capricorn - not a great combination without solid Moon sign support. On the iphone App AstroPal J Lo and Bradley score only 11 points out of a possible 35. This one won't last long.

  • October 22, 2011 - 12:20am Deeann Mares Kalica

    She's Jenny from the block and no where near his caliber of woman ... He'll move on soon (one hopes) ...

  • October 21, 2011 - 11:15pm Margie Anne Guinto

    I love Bradley, he is hot! I just don't know if this will last.

  • October 21, 2011 - 11:14pm Jessica Riley

    It didn't take her long to get over her marriage failing. Right on to another. They're both jerks.

  • October 21, 2011 - 10:09pm Marietta Cruz

    Jennifer stay away from this guy he is not for you. You can do so much better!

  • October 21, 2011 - 8:49pm Kim Thomas

    I think he is so hot, but for real they wont last she is to big time for him.

  • October 21, 2011 - 8:29pm Christine Tyler

    Bradley Cooper is such a no name guy. He's been in some sucky movies yet he's a now big name. He's like Seth Rogan. He's not a guy JLO gets with.

  • October 21, 2011 - 7:56pm Becky Dowling

    I'm sure he didn't have to work too hard to land this one in bed.

  • October 21, 2011 - 6:44pm Stephanie Green

    So her twins were nearby when he was "wooing" her? J Ho is back. If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck...
