Since you both moved on with two new people, it seems like both of you need to be in a relationship, regardless of who the person is.
My advice is to not date at all - either of you. Take a breather and be alone to clear heads and see things with a different perspective.
Your husbands relationship didn't work out (I suspect she left him, regardless of what he says) so he has come running back to a sense of familiarity. He has been honest and said he sees you as a friend. It's likely he will keep searching out a romantic partner and leave again once it has become stable - or he'll just go from relationship to relationship. We don't know him to we can't say.
There is no need for either of you to be in a relationship right now. You both need clarity and space.
