She dismissed their relationship as a ‘bit of fun’ and said the ‘long distance’ excuse we’ve all heard one too many times, but it seems that Heroes star, Hayden Panattiere‘s relationship with Welsh TV presenter, Steve Jones IS back on.

Steve Jones flew out to LA to party with Hayden and her ‘posse’ at trendy FireFly last Friday and have been snapped getting all cozy ever since.

The luscious duo were first spotted together at the Cannes film festival in May but Hayden laid to rest rumors that they were an official item saying the distance between them was “too much” yeah yeah…

-Don’t mess with his heart, Hayden!
