Sean 'Diddy' Combs sparked reports he and his ex-girlfriend Kim Porter have reunited again after meeting her for a romantic lunch date in Los Angeles on Friday.

Diddy and Porter were spotted enjoying an intimate meal at Italian restaurant Trilussa in Beverly Hills.

The on-off couple split last summer, just months after Porter gave birth to the couple's twin girls, D'Lila Star and Jessie James.

Diddy and Porter already had a son, Christian, together from a previous romance.

Their cosy lunch on Friday comes seven months after Porter told Essence magazine she packed up her belongings and took cars, furniture and the couple's children one weekend when Diddy was out of town.

She told the magazine, "I wanted to be dramatic. I wanted him to know I wasn't breaking up with him for two weeks - or maybe leaving for two days.

"If I pack up everything - twins and all - it means I'm out!"

Porter admitted reports linking Diddy to another woman was "definitely part" of the reason she split.
