Jennifer Lopez and P Diddy have been spotted together in New York, prompting rumours that they are dating again.

Lopez, who announced her divorce from Marc Anthony last month, was originally involved with Diddy in the late 1990s and is said to have attempted to rekindle the romance with the Bad Boy CEO in recent weeks.

A source close to the singer and American Idol judge told BET: "Puff wouldn't be my first choice for her, but then again he was always very supportive of her sex symbol image and never got mad when she wore sexy clothes. He actually encouraged it."

Meanwhile, an insider on P Diddy's side described Lopez as his "fantasy girl" and "the love of his life".

Reps for the stars have not commented on the reports.

It was previously suggested that Anthony thought that Lopez dressed "too sexily" and attempted to control her wardrobe choices.

The marriage reportedly nearly ended in 2009 over an alleged affair that Anthony engaged in with an air stewardess.
