For the past few months, Minka Kelly, best known for her work in shows like "Friday Night Lights" and "Parenthood," has been rumored to be dating two-time Oscar winner Sean Penn following his split from "Mad Max: Fury Road" star Charlize Theron - but she might be Chris Evans' dating pal!

In fact, a couple of years back, Chris Evans' dating life was all about Kelly, as the star of the upcoming Marvel film "Captain America: Civil War" has been with the actress on-again and off-again for a few years, dating in 2007 and later in 2012 for a short while.

Now, rumors that Chris Evans' dating Minka have sparked once more as, according to E! Online, the two were spotted together last Saturday walking their dogs in West Hollywood, which could be just a friendly activity - but, considering these two have a past, of course news outlets are jumping to conclusions.

As Us Weekly reports, the reason it didn't work with them in the past wasn't due to any personality clashes whatsoever, as Chris Evans' dating Kelly was only halted because of their work: both of them keep very busy schedules, and at the time of their split it was said that it had been amicable and that they still "care about each other."

Could this be the right time for the attractive pair?

While Kelly has been surrounded by rumors regarding Penn, Chris Evans' dating life has been equally under the scope, and in the past few months he was rumored to have dated Oscar winner Sandra Bullock and then Phil Collins' actress daughter, Lily, with whom he reportedly split after she got back together with "Twilight" actor Jamie Campbell-Bower.

People Magazine recently spoke to spokespeople for both Evans and Kelly to get some comments, but they denied that Chris Evans' dating the "Charlie's Angels" actress - though who knows if they're just hiding for the time being?
