Josh Murray, Amanda Stanton spotted kissing after split

Feb. 21 (UPI) -- Josh Murray and Amanda Stanton had a friendly reunion this week following their recent split.

The Bachelor in Paradise Season 3 stars sparked reconciliation rumors during a date night Sunday in Los Angeles after ending their engagement in December.

Murray, 32, and Stanton, 26, were spotted embracing and kissing, as seen in photos obtained by Entertainment Tonight. The pair were all smiles as they walked together hand-in-hand.

E! News reported Murray and Stanton enjoyed dinner at Katana restaurant in West Hollywood. A source said the two were "very affectionate" and that Murray had his arm around Stanton throughout the outing.

Stanton had confirmed her split from Murray in January after getting engaged on the Bachelor in Paradise Season 3 finale. Murray said in a Facebook Live interview with ET on Monday that he's "single" despite the friendly reunion.

"You know, we're trying to deal with stuff in a more private manner, obviously, and we just kind of want people to respect that," the star said. "We don't want to kind of fully dive into anything."

"This is the first time I've seen her in a while," he shared. "We just had long conversations. They were conversations that needed to be had. We had a great dinner. It was a good evening."

Murray and Stanton appeared on The Bachelorette Season 10 and The Bachelor Season 10, respectively, before starring on Bachelor in Paradise Season 3. Grant Kemp and Lace Morris have also split since the Season 3 finale aired in September.
