Hemsworth's spokesperson revealed the pair, who first met on the set of teen drama The Last Song in 2009, had split last month. But it's clear their separation is most certainly over. The first sign they had rekindled their romance came over the weekend when they were spotted running errands together.

The pair could barely keep their hands off each other

An eyewitness told People: 'Miley and Liam kept smiling and seemed to really enjoy their afternoon together. 'They acted like they had missed each other, kept chatting and seemed to be catching up. They definitely seemed like a couple again. 'Since Miley returned to LA from [a movie shoot in] Europe earlier in the week, she has acted a bit tired and worn out,' the source continued. 'With Liam back in her life on Saturday, she acted totally different and, instead, seemed very happy.
