By: Shannon Gossage

Cruz and Bloom were reportedly spotted together partying at L.A. hotspot Hyde twice in one week sparking rumors of a romance. The two were first spotted on Saturday on the dance floor looking more than friendly. He was later spotted kissing her hand "affectionately." Apparently Bloom is not looking to make a commitment just yet, he was also spotted flirting with an unidentified brunette who he picked up and hugged. He was also allegedly seen giving the unidentified woman his number.

Tuesday Bloom and Cruz showed up at Hyde together again. This time Cruz’s sister Monica joined the alleged couple. A source said of Bloom and Cruz, "They were definitely together and holding hands." It was also reported that Cruz and Bloom were spotted hanging out and "spending time together" Thursday night at the Chateau Marmont. The two reportedly were "getting quite cozy" on one of the couches. The two reportedly remained cozy until "well after midnight."

It has been reported that Bloom is trying to "flaunt" his romance with Cruz because his ex, Kate Bosworth, is reportedly involved with model James Rousseau. Bosworth reportedly met Rousseau during Fashion Week at the Marc Jacobs show. Bosworth and Bloom dated on-and-off for four-years and most recently called it quits earlier this month. A source said that both are having a hard time letting go and are going out of their way to make the other jealous. There has been no official word from Bloom’s camp on the status of his relationship with Cruz, but her rep said, "They are not dating."
