Wilmer Valderrama and Minka Kelly Are Dating Again
It looks like these exes are giving their relationship another shot four years later.
A source confirms to E! News exclusively that Wilmer Valderrama and Minka Kelly are dating again. While no details regarding their reconciliation have been disclosed just yet, the insider adds that Wilmer and Minka did enjoy a Mexican getaway together recently with a few pals.
The casually clad pair were just spotted stepping out together for a late dinner date at Palms Thai restaurant in Hollywood last night. An eyewitness states the duo seemed very close during their time out together, adding that Wilmer was a gentleman and opened the car door for Minka.
“[Minka and Wilmer] did have a late dinner at Palms Thai together last night. They sat across from each other and it was just the two of them. I didn’t personally see if they were holding hands or if they were being affectionate, but it looked like a date. They looked casual and relaxed,” a source tells E! News. “Yes, Wilmer was a gentleman and picked up the tab to pay for their food.”
Kelly and Valderrama first dated back in 2012, shortly after the Friday Night Lights star broke it off with professional baseball player Derek Jeter. Their reunited romance comes roughly three months after Valderrama and Demi Lovato called it quits.

Wilmer and Demi split in June after being on and off for six years. Their breakup was a huge shock to fans, who had been anticipating an imminent engagement.
“After almost 6 loving and wonderful years together, we have decided to end our relationship,” the joint statement read.
“This was an incredibly difficult decision for both of us, but we have realized more than anything that we are better as best friends. We will always be supportive of one another. Thank you to everyone who has offered us kindness and support over the years.”
Shortly after the news broke, E! News caught up with the 36-year-old actor at an event for his partnership with Old Spice’s Right Hair Wrongs campaign and chatted with him about life after Demi. “[I’m] good, very good,” he told us at the time. “It’s been a great summer for work, I’ve done some incredible things.”
“This year has become a really interesting journey already,” he admitted. “To be signed onto something so incredible like NCIS and have a couple of movies in the works and producing all the other stuff that I’m doing and this partnership which is so fun…So far this year has been explosive and fun.”
