Fresh reports suggest that the two are actually an item, regardless how much they deny it

Cameron Diaz and Sean “Diddy” Combs have repeatedly tried to deny there was anything romantic going on between them but, so far, they're yet to be convincing enough. Fresh reports suggest they're actually getting more serious.

No one can pinpoint the exact day when word got out that the two were dating, but the moment rumors started picking up speed, Diddy was already issuing a denial.

Now, PageSix is saying that they've gotten to a point where denying a romance would hardly make any sense, since they've been spotted “making out” in public – and there are several witnesses who can confirm it.

“Cameron Diaz and Sean 'Diddy' Combs are bonding over more than just a 'movie project' – they were caught kissing Saturday night at PH-D at the Dream Downtown Hotel,” the e-zine writes.

Eyewitnesses reveal that, while the two didn't start out the night together, they certainly ended it that way.

“Spies said the blond actress, who split with Yankee slugger Alex Rodriguez in September, started the night off with dinner at Marble Lane in the lobby with friends. Afterward, the group migrated upstairs to PH-D, where Diddy came to meet Diaz at her table at about 1:15 a.m,” writes the publication.

The two partied the night away with bottles of Patron, Grey Goose and Ciroc. After a couple of drinks, they also stopped caring who else knew about their romance.

“They were kissing and making out” and were “very affectionate” even as they danced, says an onlooker.

Diaz and Diddy left the club together with the group just after 3 a.m. This isn’t the first time Diaz has been seen fiddling with Diddy,” PageSix further writes.

However, publicists for both stars insist that whatever interaction they have is due to working together on a new project and not because they're lovers.
