Hayden Panettiere and TV presenter Steve Jones appeared to have rekindled their romance – just days after the Heroes star said she was enjoying the single life.
The pair were spotted embracing each other at Firefly restaurant in Los Angeles on Friday.
Pictures show the 19-year-old actress, who plays Clare Bennett in Heroes, sitting on T4 presenter Jones' lap as the couple tried to decide who should pay the bill.
Reports of a romance between the pair first surfaced in April when they were spotted dining together in London.
They then travelled to the south of France for the Cannes film festival, where they spent a week on a private boat.

Hayden Panettiere and Steve Jones enjoy the sun in Cannes last April.
And despite suggestion last month that the couple had gone their separate ways, it now looks as if their romance is back on.
The sighting in Los Angeles coincided with the publication of a new interview with Panettiere, in which she admitted she finds it difficult to tell men when she just wants to be friends.
"I'm not good at learning that sometimes you don't like someone in that way - and figuring out how to deal with that,” she told Seventeen. “I don't want to hurt his feelings.
"Right now, I'm just enjoying having fun. It's when you're not looking for anything that something winds up coming along, whether it's a best friend or a guy."
Jones, 32, has enjoyed a series of high-profile relationships with Hollywood stars, including Pamela Anderson and Halle Berry.
