LATEST: Nicole Kidman and Elizabeth Hurley's ex-boyfriend Steve Bing have fuelled reports they're dating, by passionately kissing across a Los Angeles restaurant table.

Last week (ends12NOV04) it was reported the movie pair had enjoyed a series of dinner dates in New York, culminating in two romantic meals at the Il Cantinori restaurant in Greenwich Village.

And now Kidman and billionaire film producer Bing - the father of Hurley's two-year-old baby DAMIAN - have been spotted acting intimately at the Polo Lounge in Beverly Hills.

One stunned diner tells Britain's The Sun newspaper, "Everyone had candles on their tables, but they blew theirs out. It wasn't some little kiss - it was an open-mouthed lip-lock."

Neighbours have also seen Bing's car parked outside the apartment Kidman's renting while she films new movie Bewitched, according to The Sun.

Bing sparked a media frenzy in 2002 when he split up with pregnant Hurley, denying he was the child's father. DNA tests later proved he was.
