Show of unity! Diane Kruger shakes off those split rumours as she takes an arm-in-arm stroll with Joshua Jackson in NYC

They were rumoured to have split late last year.

But Diane Kruger and her longtime boyfriend Joshua Jackson were clearly together with arms linked as they stepped out in chilly New York City for a stroll on Monday while wearing matching shades.

They were both bundled up for winter weather with Diane, 39, dressed in a plaid coat and tall boots and Joshua, 37, smartening up his appearance in a zippered wool jacket and driver's cap.

He's currently starring in a play in NYC called Smart People, which perhaps explained the clean and close shave.

Diane mastered winter elegance in that knee-length checked coat and black leather boots. 

She kept her blonde tresses stylishly pulled into a ponytail as she linked arms with her beau of nine years. 

Joshua covered his head with a flat cap and kept it simple with blue jeans and brown boots.

The couple have only previously been seen together in public once this year, after rumours of a split.

At the beginning of February they attended the launch of his off-Broadway play, which is about four clever Harvard intellectuals who grapple with issues of race and identity. 

The former Dawson's Creek star stars as a neuroscientist professor at the 2econd Stage Theater.

He's been noticeably absent from her Instagram posts, however Diane has posted a number of cryptic quotes, after reports she was seen in a clinch with Walking Dead star Norman Reedus last December.  

The actress, who has been in a relationship with The Affair actor Joshua Jackson since 2006, was 'all over' the 46-year-old actor, fellow bar patrons told The New York Daily News.

Onlookers claim 39-year-old Diane was straddling Norman's lap and kissing him while at the East Village bar.

A source close to Diane told DailyMail.com at the time: 'This story is completely fabricated and untrue.'

Diane posted to Instagram earlier this month: 'Men aren't stupid, and you don't need a complicated set of rules to find a good one who loves you. Here's the only rule you need. If a man loves you, he will do anything he can to keep you around. Anything.'
