EMMA Stone was pictured giving her ex-boyfriend Andrew Garfield an enormous hug at the Nespresso Bafta Nominees party at Kensington Palace on Saturday night.
Late last year, Andrew confirmed he still had feelings for Emma, telling the Hollywood Reporter he would take the La La Land star to a dessert island with him.
Although Emma, 28, and 33-year-old Andrew arrived separately at the swanky bash, once inside they found one another and appeared to be getting on like a house on fire.
The pair first became a couple in 2011 after meeting on the set of The Amazing Spider-Man.
However they split four years later, calling time on their relationship in 2015.
Fans of the couple were devastated when they split but the pair have remained close friends, with Andrew telling The Hollywood Reporter he still loved his ex girlfriend.
He said: “Emma Stone. I love Emma.”
When asked who he would take to a dessert island, he added: “She’s all right. She can come.”
Emma has been equally as gushing of Andrew, telling Vogue she missed spending time with the actor.
Speaking a year after their break up, she said Andrew was “someone I still love very much”.
She added: “It’s been interesting. It’s been a good year. And sad. Pros and cons.”
She was joined by Arrivals star Amy Stone at the swanky bash.
The 42-year-old has been put forward for a gong for her role in hit sci-fi flick Arrival.
Amy’s dress had a slight nautical theme, with black stripes running across her waist and shoulders.
The pretty lace gown dropped to her ankles before flowing out slightly.
She teamed the white lace design with a pair of simple black heels.
Amy’s hair was curled into waves like Emma’s, which she wore over one shoulder to show off her pretty diamond earrings.
Actress Anya Taylor-Joy – who is nominated for the Bafta’s EE Rising Star Award– put on a dramatic lace gown for her turn on the carpet.
With a black leather belt cinching in her waist, Anya looked stunning in the pretty dress which showed off he long legs.

Her hair was styled half up, half down, with loose curls hanging over her shoulders and across her fringe.
Earlier this month the actress told Harper’s Baazar about the moment she found out about her nomination.
She said: “I was already awake!”
“I wake up every day at 4 a.m. convinced that I’m late because that’s usually the time I have to be on set.
“I’m always like, [gasps] ‘Oh my God! No, you’re fine. You can go back to sleep for three hours.’
“And then I checked my phone and I was like, ‘Oh my God.’”
Made In Chelsea star Louise Thompson also turned up to join the party.
The reality star wore a stunning dress which did appear to cause her a few problems on the night.
Louise battled to keep the voluminous material under control but once she’d organised the swathes of material, she looked picture perfect as she posed on the red carpet.
Andrew Garfield – who is nominated for Best Actor for his role in Hacksaw Ridge – cut a dashing figure on the carpet.
He was joined at the event by British actor James Norton.
Awards organisers fear A-list guests unfamiliar with royal protocol will approach Wills and Kate for pictures.
The couple will attend the ceremony due to Prince William’s role as Bafta president.
But a source said: “The team liaising with guests and nominees have had a quiet word to stress the importance of royal protocol.
“Many of the A-listers are used to being the biggest deal in the room, but royalty is altogether different.
“They’re not celebrities in the same way and bosses are taking no chances.”
The Sun revealed last month that some members of the organising team had feared Kate’s attendance would divert attention from the awards.
But after further discussions with Kensington Palace, it was confirmed she would accompany her husband to the Royal Albert Hall bash.
