Los Angeles, Jul 19 (IANS): After a recent bitter incident, actor Evan Peters was spotted comforting his actress girlfriend Emma Roberts. She was recently arrested for hitting him.

The couple was photographed Tuesday outside a studio in New Orleans, Louisiana, reports tmz.com.

A source close to the duo said that the couple, who began dating last year, is still together despite their recent troubles, and they are working together on the hit horror series "American Horror Story".
