Nick Jonas clears up that Selena Gomez dating rumor

Nick Jonas is getting pretty good at deflecting dating rumors — but then given his romantic history, that’s not surprising. The latest speculation hounding the former Disney star? That he’s spending time with Selena Gomez. When pressed on the subject during an interview with London’s Capital FM, Jonas sets the record straight: “We kind of ran into each other a couple of weeks ago, like walking in Venice,” he says. “We were both with separate groups of friends and we ran into each other.”

Seems innocent enough. Anything else, Nick? “I put a dinner together with a bunch of really great people, like the Haim girls, who I love. They’re awesome. They’re the best,” Jonas says. “It was a big group of people and we all had a great time. We connect in that sense. It was nice to connect and just catch up. I’ll leave it there.”

Oh my God, guys. Nick Jonas is dating all of his friends at once!
