Is Hugh trying to woo back Jemima?

Despite announcing they had split earlier this year after three years together, the couple have held a series of secret meetings in an attempt to get their liaison back on track.

Last week the pair were pictured enjoying a two-hour lunch together at seafood restaurant Fishworks in Notting Hill.

Spotted leaving a restaurant together last week - the on-off relationship between Hugh Grant and Jemima Khan appears to be back on

Friends of the 46-year-old actor say he is desperate to win Jemima, 33, back and has not ruled out a reconciliation.

One said: "Hugh is hoping it's a matter of when they will get back together, not if. He still cares for Jemima very deeply and misses her a lot.

"Hugh has desperately been trying to woo her back. There have been flowers, dinner dates and a couple of secret meetings at his house but they are not officially back together.

"Jemima loves Hugh but she has had her fingers burnt and has said she is not rushing into anything."

Friends say Grant was practically living at Jemima's £18 million townhouse last year with her two sons from her marriage to Imran Khan.

But despite rumours of an engagement, Jemima dumped Hugh in February after apparently telling him to commit to her otherwise it was over.

Sources say she made the decision after taking advice from her mother, Lady Annabel Goldsmith.

The couple are also known to have rowed about Hugh's work commitments and his close friendship with his ex-girlfriend Liz Hurley.

Just weeks before they split, Hugh spoke of his happiness with Jemima, saying: "It's true I've taken a long time to settle down. My life is very nice now."
