It's a springtime romance!

Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes enjoyed a couple's stroll in New York City on Thursday, holding hands and sipping coffee.

Gosling, 31, and Mendes, 38, have been linked since last year, but have yet to confirm their relationship.

However, this isn't the first time the rumored couple have been affectionate in public.

Although Mendes has said that Gosling is "a dream" to work with professionally, she recently played coy when Ellen DeGeneres asked about their personal relationship.

Missing from this particular amble was Gosling's dog – and Mendes's sometimes walking companion – George.
