Taylor Lautner has fuelled rumors he is dating country singer Taylor Swift after they were spotted enjoying a date in Los Angeles.

The two Taylors were photographed side-by-side watching a hockey game between the Los Angeles Kings and the Columbus Blue Jackets at the city's Staples Center on Sunday (Oct25,09).

The pair, who both star in upcoming movie Valentine's Day, have been rumored to be playing out a real-life romance ever since they were spotted embracing following one of Swift's shows in Chicago, Illinois earlier this month (Oct,09).

Swift's representatives subsequently claimed the duo is "just friends", but the pair's latest public outing has fuelled dating rumours once again.

The New York Daily News reports the pair headed back to the same hotel after the hockey game and claims they left the Beverly Wilshire together early the next morning.

Lautner returns to the big screen next month with the second installment of the Twilight franchise as he returns to the role of Jacob Black in New Moon.
