Despite photographic evidence of the pair getting intimate in various locations, Chris Brown is deny that he and Rihanna are an item.

Gossips first linked the pair when they were spotted kissing at Rihanna’s birthday party.

The pair were recently photographed frolicking in a pool in Jamaica and were reportedly making out all over Paris Fashion Week.

However Chris tells MTV News UK in a new interview: “[From] a relationship standpoint I am a single guy, I am definitely single.”

He did, however, admit to there being someone special in his life: “I have a close friend but it’s not like a relationship, I’m not trying to settle down.

“I’m only 18, so I’m just trying to live my life and have fun.”

Rihanna is also playing the ‘nothing-to-see-here’ game with the press, insisting recently: “I’m single. If a good guy comes along we’ll make it work, but for now I’m having fun being a single woman.”
