American actor Evan Peters has in a way confirmed that he is back together with Emma Roberts. He said he "just loves" the actress.

The on and off couple sparked rumours they are back together in August and the “American Horror Story” star has now appeared to confirm the reunion, just months after they called off their engagement.

Speaking at the premiere of the new season "American Horror Story: Hotel", he told people.com: "She is really great."

Asked about their relationship, Peters, 28, then coyly gave a thumbs up, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

He added: "I just love her."

The actor began dating Roberts, 24, in 2012 and proposed to her in December 2013. However, the couple ended their engagement in June.
