Former on and off couple Chris Evans and Minka Kelly fueled speculations about a rekindling of their relationship. The duo was recently photographed spending some quality time together over Labor Day weekend.
The 35-year old actor and the 34-year old actress stepped out together for a stroll with their dogs in L.A.'s West Hollywood on Saturday, September 5. They were seen in their laid back look with "Captain America" actor dressed in jeans and a bicep-baring T-shirt, while the "Friday Night Lights" star chose to wear a more athletic yet comfortable getup.
The two were seen very comfortable with each other. At some point, they even exchanged a spirited high-five. They were allegedly talking non-stop and laughed as they walked closely beside each other with their pets. The friendly, yet sweet gestures were not strange to the duo's fans since they've shared a history of a somewhat complicated relationship.
The former lovebirds started dating way back in 2007 and called it off that very same year. Five years after they broke up, in September 2012, they tried to rekindle the old flame but they decided to split for a second time in October 2013.
A source close to the former couple admitted to Us Weekly that at that moment, distance and time was really the issue for their breakup. "It didn't make sense for them to be together right now," one source stated, adding that the two parted on friendly terms. The source continued by stressing out, "They still care about each other."
Even though the two were spotted together once more, just last week, Evans revealed to ETonline that he was definitely still single. "That is still the case," he admitted. "I consider myself a very romantic guy," the actor added. He also emphasized that he doesn't really consider romance just only between two people as it is also applicable in love for his music, art, nature, and all other things.
Despite both stars breaking up, they reportedly remained close. Previously, this October, Kelly was seen hanging out with the actor's family at a karaoke night at Lavender Asian Cuisine & Bar in his hometown in Massachusetts. "They sat next to each other, they were off in a corner, having drinks and keeping to themselves but still part of the group," an insider spilled out to People. "They kept a very low profile. They're really cute!"
Meanwhile, the actor purportedly tried to pursue Lilly Collins for a while, but their dating rumors died out. And just recently, Kelly was treated to a birthday dinner, just this June by the newly single Sean Penn.
