Rumors swirled that Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence and her ex-boyfriend Nicholas Hoult were getting back together when they were spotted having dinner together this week.

However, sources now say that their dinner was just a friendly outing between exes who keep in touch.

As we previously reported, they were seen having dinner at The Little Door in Los Angeles after splitting in January.

But a source tells RadarOnline “They are still very close friends, despite their break up, and regularly text or phone each other from across the pond. With Nicholas being in Los Angeles for business meetings, it gave them the chance to get together and catch up on what’s going on.”

The insider also noted they “are not back together.”

Although they’re not reconciling, the former couple is reportedly not ruling out that notion.

“They’re not ruling out getting back together in the future, but for the moment they are just very close friends,” said the source.
