Kylie and ex Olivier ‘rekindle romance’ in Los Angeles

THEY recently sparked reconciliation rumours when they were both pictured at Los Angeles’ Chateau Marmont on Thursday.

And now an onlooker inside the celebrity haunt’s plush restaurant has all but confirmed that Kylie Minogue, pictured right, and Oliver Martinez are back together after admitting the pair ‘seemed to be very much a couple’.

Speaking to Sunday newspaper about their surprise meeting, an insider revealed: ‘Oliver arrived first, motorcycle helmet in hand, and walked around the restaurant before taking a corner table.

‘Then Kylie arrived in a sexy knee-length denim dress. They both looked delighted to see each other and hugged and kissed before sitting down. During dinner they appeared to be very touchy-feely and kissed a few times.

‘Kylie was beaming from ear to ear and seemed engrossed in what Oliver was saying.

‘Afterwards, they left arm in arm and appeared to be heading in the direction of the Chateau’s hotel where Kylie had a room booked.’

The couple’s reunion comes after 51-year-old Oliver – who enjoyed a five year romance with the singer before their split in 2007 – was seen leaving the hotspot just a day after Kylie, 49, shared a photo of herself in the hotel.

Actor Oliver – whose divorce from Oscar-winner Halle Berry was finalised six months ago – was seen racing away from the venue on a Harley Davidson motorcycle.

It appears Kylie is in good spirits after her split from fiancé Joshua Sasse earlier in the year.

Oliver is one of Kylie’s most famous former flames, with the pair meeting at the 2003 Grammy Awards.

The French heartthrob was a strong support for the music superstar during her 2005 battle with breast cancer. She told Elle in 2006: ‘On particular dark days, I’d be lying on the bathroom floor wailing and he’d say, “OK, honey, you can cry for just five minutes, then I’m taking you on the bike for a ride around Paris.”’
