They’ve been good friends for years and, for some time, rumored lovers. Though Sandra Bullock has denied that Ryan Reynolds is or ever was her “lovah,” photos showing the two vacationing together with her son have sent the gossip mill spinning again.

Some time ago, Sandra came out to support Ryan at the premiere of his latest film, “The Change-Up,” walking the red carpet with him and even posing for pictures.

As it turns out, this could have been their way of going public with their romance, word online has it. The set of photos of the other day would seem to confirm this theory, that the two are dating.

“Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds hooked up... for a friendly hike in the Wyoming wilderness – along with Sandy’s adorable son Louis Bardo,” TMZ writes.

It has all the pictures, which seem to have been snapped on a cell phone, probably by a fellow hiker who later sold them to the e-zine.

“Ryan carried Louis in a backpack during the nature walk through Grand Teton National Park last weekend. The trio is vacationing in Jackson Hole with a few other friends, but we gotta ask...,” TMZ further writes, hinting that the two stars may be an item.

Ever since her divorce from Jesse James, who cheated on her, Sandra has been linked to Ryan, to whom she admittedly turned to get over her broken marriage.

The fact that her good friend was going through a similar experience, since he’d just broken up with Scarlett Johansson, brought the two together – and made them fall in love.

Following months of reports, at the Golden Globes 2011, Sandra took a stand and set the record straight – or so it seemed at the time.

“I think there will be a collective sigh amongst women across the United States when I say he’s not my lovah,” Sandra told reporters on the red carpet, as we also informed you at the time.

“He’s just an amazing friend for 10 years. But I don’t get his loving after dark,” she added.
