AceShowbiz - Lucy Hale and John Owen Lowe have tongues wagging after being spotted together over the weekend. The 35-year-old actress and 29-year-old actor/writer were photographed leaving the Tocaya Modern Mexican restaurant in Studio City on Saturday, with John carrying some food in a white to-go bag.

Lucy kept it casual in a black sleeveless top, high-waisted light blue jeans, black slide sandals, and black sunglasses. John, the son of Rob Lowe, opted for a similar vibe, wearing a sleeveless cream-knit vest and beige loose pants.

While neither Lucy nor John have commented on the dating rumors, they do follow each other on Instagram. Fans began speculating about a potential romance when Lucy commented on one of John's posts in April, celebrating his six-year sobriety anniversary.

Lucy, who has been open about her own struggles with alcohol and addiction, has recently celebrated one year of sobriety. She has credited her sobriety, in part, to the isolation and avoidance of social situations that occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Meanwhile, John and his father Rob are preparing for the release of "Unstable" season 2, where they play father and son. John joked that fans should enjoy the time they get to see the duo together on-screen, as it may be a while before they collaborate on another project.

Despite the dating rumors, Lucy and John have maintained a close friendship. They have both supported each other through their struggles with addiction and have a shared passion for helping others. As friends or potentially as a couple, their connection is evident.
