• A day at the zoo has renewed speculation that Eva Longoria has reconciled with Eduardo Cruz. The exes, who parted ways last month after a year of lovey-dovey coupledom, were spied on an affectionate outing to the Los Angeles Zoo on Monday.

  But they weren't alone. The "Desperate Housewives" star was pushing a stroller that reportedly contained Eduardo's nephew, Leo, the cutie-pie offspring of Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem.

  The baby's presence didn't seem to dampen their PDA, with paparazzi capturing the inconstant couple locking lips, holding hands and hugging.

  The PDA highlight: As they exited the zoo in separate cars, Cruz, 27, said goodbye to Longoria, 37, by getting hands-on with her tush.

  The PDA lowlight: The Spanish crooner held a cigarette in one hand while holding Eva's hand in the other, all while just a few secondhand smoke-filled feet from the tot.

  The family-themed outing follows the duo's cozy tête-à-tête earlier this month at the Chateau Marmont.

  "I don't really have a philosophy on love," the twice-divorced actress recently told People, "but I am a hopeless romantic."
