Victoria’s Secret model Miranda Kerr has denied rumors that she is romancing actor Orlando Bloom.

The 24-year-old stunner told Australian TV show, A Current Affair that while the Lord of the Rings star is a "sweetheart", they are nothing more than friends.

"Well … you know, we're friends and he's a nice guy … he's a sweetheart” said Kerr.

Yet despite the pair being pictured house hunting in New York City, and the models conversion to Nichiren Buddhism, a religion practiced by Bloom, she insists that she is enjoying life on her own.

"My whole life, I've pretty much had a boyfriend so far," she continued "So it's good for me right now to have some time for me."
