On Monday night they were spotted enjoying dinner together and now someone has revealed that Jennifer Lawrence is keen to reignite her romance with Nicholas Hoult.

Rumours had already been swirling about the Oscar-winning actress and her former flame, best known for his roles in About A Boy and Skins, after they were photographed coming out of The Little Door restaurant in LA earlier this week.

Jennifer and Nicholas dated for two years.

And now the speculation has gotten even greater as a source has told Hollywoodlife.com that Jennifer wants to give their relationship another go.

"It's a work in progress. There is genuine love between the two and she feels safe with him since he was there before she blew up into this big star," they explained before adding that the distance which tore them apart will no longer be an issue.

"Now that she has more say in what her schedule is, she is very interested to rekindle what they once had. They've been talking and it's very promising that they will be a couple once again."

They are both involved in the X-Men prequels.

Jennifer and Nicholas started dating after working on X-Men: First Class back in 2010 but called it a day on their two-year romance back in January.

Well they do say that the course of true love never did run smooth!
