London, (ANI): American actor Taylor Lautner has sparked off rumours that he is romancing country singer Taylor Swift after the two of them were seen together in Los Angeles.

Both the Taylors were snapped sitting side-by-side as they enjoyed a game of hockey between the Los Angeles Kings and the Columbus Blue Jackets at the city's Staples Center last weekend, reports the Daily Express.

Speculations of a relationship between the two have been floating ever since they were seen hugging each other after one of Swift's shows in Chicago, Illinois earlier this month. Although, Swift's reps had tried to clear the air by saying the duo were just friends, the pair's latest public outing has kicked off gossip again.

According to the New York Daily News, the pair went to the same hotel after the hockey match and left the Beverly Wilshire together early the next day.
