Singer Bebe Rexha has definitively addressed speculation about a potential romantic relationship with basketball player Jordan Clarkson, clarifying that the two are merely friends.
When approached by TMZ Sports in New York City this week, Rexha was asked whether there were romantic feelings between herself and the Knicks player following their day together last month. While taking photographs with fans, the singer quickly dismissed the notion, shaking her head and responding with a single word: "friends," according to TMZ.
The dating rumors originated earlier this summer when Rexha and Clarkson, 34, spent an entire day together in Manhattan. Their outing began with an art session led by artist Leopoldo Gout, where photographs captured the NBA champion with his arm around the singer as they posed together.
The pair continued their evening at a Vogue event held at Rockefeller Center, further fueling speculation about the nature of their relationship. The public appearances together prompted widespread discussion about whether the two celebrities had begun dating.
Rexha's recent comments to TMZ came shortly after she celebrated her birthday on Friday. Her straightforward denial leaves no ambiguity about the status of her relationship with the professional athlete.
The clarification puts to rest weeks of speculation that emerged from their joint appearances in New York City, confirming that their connection remains strictly platonic despite the public nature of their summer outing together.
