Liz and Hugh spark romance reports

Hugh Grant has continued working with Hurley during the split

LONDON (Reuters) -- British actors Hugh Grant and Liz Hurley have been pictured enjoying a Mediterranean holiday together, sparking media speculation that the couple have resumed their romance.

Several British newspapers printed photographs of the couple kissing during a holiday on a yacht off the coast of Sardinia.

"They were clearly having a great time together and, to look at them, one would have thought they were very much together," the Daily Express quoted an unnamed onlooker as saying.

One of Britain's most glamorous celebrity couples, Hurley, 34, and Grant, 39, announced in May they had put their 13-year romance on hold.

At the time, they refused to rule out the possibility of a reconciliation, with a spokeswoman for the pair saying the split was only temporary.

Outwardly, little appeared to change in the relationship. The couple continued to share a home in Chelsea, London, and attend public events together. They also continued to run their production company Simian Films together.

The couple have been regular fixtures on the pages of celebrity magazines and tabloids since Hurley stole the spotlight from the floppy-haired actor at the premiere of his film Four Weddings and a Funeral in 1994 with a revealing Versace dress held together with safety pins.

The coverage propelled Hurley to new heights of fame, helping her win a lucrative modelling contract with cosmetics company Estee Lauder.

Grant was arrested in 1995 during an encounter with Los Angeles prostitute Divine Brown, prompting a short "cooling off" in the romance. But Hurley stuck by her man and the relationship continued uninterrupted until the split in May.
