Jennifer Lawrence, Nicholas Hoult Dating Again? [PHOTO]: 'X-Men' Co-Stars Spotted on Date, Romance Rekindled or Just Friends?

Back in January, Jennifer Lawrence and Nicholas Hoult broke up after two years of dating. The two have reportedly stayed close but have rarely been seen together even in a friendly manner. That is why their dinner last night seems more like a date than anything. The X-Men: First Class stars even snuck out the back door together. But was it a date or was it really just two friends having dinner?

 The 22-year-old Oscar winner and her 23-year-old ex-boyfriend are getting ready to film the sequel to the film that brought them together. In interviews about the upcoming X-Men: Days of Future Past filming, the two have been asked a lot about their characters' relationship. In the First Class, the two had a romantic encounter that soon led to a real life romance. Then they split up in January due to scheduling problems.

So they did not end it on bad terms. Perhaps this dinner was a date and the two figured they would be seeing each other and acting together a whole lot in the coming months so why not rekindle?

Jennifer's recent success with Silver Linings Playbook and her Hunger Games schedule has not helped the whole "busy schedule" argument against this relationship, though. Hoult has also been in a number of new movies that kept him preoccupied, too. So maybe the dinner was just two friends hanging out again.

What do you think? What do you HOPE? The best thing about these two dating is that their respective fans seemed to really love them together. Think about other celebrity couples and how fans usually react negatively towards significant others. That did not happen in this case In fact fans seem to be hoping for a Jennifer and Nicholas to get back together.
