They've been dodging recent relationship rumours.

But it's becoming nearly impossible for Ashley Greene and Paul Khoury to hide their affection for one another.

On Sunday, the couple were seen interlinking their fingers while holding hands - yet again - as they stepped out for lunch with some friends in Sherman Oaks, California.

And they even complemented each other with matching bracelets.

Amping up her style for the occasion, the 26-year-old Twilight actress sported a colourful, floral maxi dress, belted with a slender brown waist belt.

She teamed the elegant number with a pair of coral flats, allowing her frock to drag on the ground a bit as she made her way to the restaurant.

Special occasion? Last week, the two were dressed down for lunch, but this week they got all dolled up

Ashley, who is frequently seen with her hair pulled back, had styled her new blonde locks into sexy waves.

Meanwhile, her scruffy beau displayed his sculpted figure in a faded black and charcoal grey ensemble, consisting of a V-neck blouse, fitted vest, cuffed trousers, and laced, dress shoes.

The twosome were seen together exactly a week prior, holding hands on their way to Vivian's Cafe in Studio City.

Matching: The two were wearing the same bracelet on their wrists

Never letting go: The besotted pair kept a firm grip on each other's hands

'They are dating,' a source told Us Weekly, but clarified that it isn't 'that serious' yet.

Paul is known to be Liam Hemsworth's best friend, and Ashley previously starred with the Australian actor's ex Miley Cyrus in the 2012 film LOL.

Ashley has recently been filming Staten Island Summer, which tells the story of two friends, Danny and Frank, after they graduate high school.

With Danny heading for Harvard and Frank unsure about his future, the pair spend the summer working as lifeguards.

Ashley - who coloured her blonde for the film - plays a member of the pool club they work at, as she deals with her father who is a powerful and overprotective mobster.

The star also recently worked on films Random and Wish I was Here, which are in post-production, and CBGB, which is set to release this year.
