Rita Ora claims she's never dated Nick Jonas.
The 'RIP' hitmaker has shot down rumours she's been in a relationship with the 21-year-old singer after he name-dropped her in his band's song 'What Do I Mean To You'.
Speaking on 'Watch What Happens Live!' last night, Rita explained: "I never dated him. I actually met Nick through a friend and it was a very weird situation because we were close, but it never went to that level and then I read the lyric and I kind of messaged him and was like, 'I have no idea where this came from. If you want to talk about it, call me'.
Although, despite insisting they never became an item, the 23-year-old star admits the hunk did have a crush on her.
She explained: "He was like, 'You know what, I just obviously didn't put out how I felt across to you properly'. And it was one of those situations.
"He never really told me that I think, but regardless we're still friends and I still have a lot of respect for him."
Meanwhile, Rita is currently in a relationship with Scottish DJ Calvin Harris and is looking forward to going on holiday with him after she's wrapped up 'Fifty Shades of Grey'.
She said previously: "I think [he's] ready for us to go away together, I haven't been away with him in a long time. I want to take my weave out, so it will be nice to spend some quality time."

Chelsea Handler prefers to have casual sex.
The 39-year-old host isn't interested in finding a long-term partner, but she still wants to get frisky beneath the covers without having to romantically date anyone.
Speaking on 'Conan' last night (28.04.14), she said: "I have a hard time meeting men, or dating men, long-term in LA -- or in this country, for that matter -- because people can hear what I'm saying, and guys don't think it's that hot."
The blonde comedienne admitted she recently tried to hook up with a hotel manager, but things came to an abrupt end after she asked him for sex before the first date.
She explained: "I didn't want to date him, but I wanted to have some casual sex without any strings attached. That, I think, is a present to the world, you know? I think, wow, look at this, I don't want anything, I have a house, I have money, I have food."
Chelsea also admits she's not very good at flirting with men because she likes to get straight to the point and get them into the bedroom quickly.
She added: "I like to get down to business. I mean, why wouldn't I? I don't have kids, I don't want to be married. I mean can't everybody just have sex with me?"

Naya Rivera has reportedly been fired from 'Glee'.
The 27-year-old actress has reportedly been given the boot from the show after a blazing row with FOX's producers over her co-star Lea Michele's "diva antics" earlier this month, according to the New York Daily News newspaper.
Not only has the brunette beauty been axed from the musical show, it is also believed she's been "written out" of programme's fifth season finale, PopWrapped reports.
Naya's future on the show was questioned when she reportedly stormed off set on April 15 after the 'Cannonball' singer, whose boyfriend and on-screen love interest Cory Monteith tragically passed away last year, reportedly made the rest of the cast wait to shoot a scene as she dealt with personal matters.
However, it is believed the stars have been "icy" towards each other for a while.
An insider told Us Magazine at the time: "Naya is jealous that Lea is the show's main star. There is a lot of sighing and eye-rolling between them. They talk behind each other's backs a lot."
Meanwhile, Naya, who plays sexy lesbian Santana on the hit show, has had a rough month after her fiancé Big Sean called off their engagement and ended their relationship.
She later claimed the rapper had stolen an expensive Rolex watch from her home in Los Angeles because he is jealous of her success.
In a tweet which has now been removed, she wrote: "@BigSean stealing rolexes from a lady's house now. Maybe cuz I'm on Glee and making more money or something. #triflin' (sic)".

Seth Rogen thought Zac Efron was a "little f**ker" when he first met him.
The 'Bad Neighbours' star admits he wasn't impressed by his co-star when he first bumped into him eight years ago, but he's since changed his mind after working with him on the new upcoming comedy film.
Speaking to PEOPLE.com, he said: "I was expecting to not like him very much when I first met him. The first time I met him I assumed he'd be a little f**ker, but that was eight years ago. I was proven very wrong because he's a sweet, nice guy ... He was just so nice, cool and very self-aware and self-effacing and endearing, and all those things that make someone hard to hate."
However, Zac - who shot to fame after landing the leading role in Disney's 'High School Musical' in 2006 - was determined to make a good impression on Seth, 32, because he saw him as an inspiration.
Zac, 26, explained: "I really made some extra effort, and after a while I think I wore him down a bit. I've respected Seth since the first movie that I saw him in. He rebranded comedy, and I identified with it, every single part of it: mind, body and spirit. That's how I want to be."

George Clooney has resigned from his United Nations peacekeeping role.
The 52-year-old actor, who recently got engaged to British human rights lawyer Amal Alamuddin, has stepped down as "messenger of the peace" because he's too busy.
A United Nations spokesperson, Stephane Dujarric, said: "After six years in this role, Mr Clooney feels it is time to retire his official role as messenger of peace.
"The competing demands on their time from their professional and advocacy lives sometimes make it difficult for high-profile individuals to carry out a formal United Nations role."
The hunk was given the title in 2008 following his work to raise awareness about the violence in Darfur, Sudan, and during his six years in the role he was able to travel to the Democratic Republic of Congo and South Sudan.
In March 2012, George was arrested, but shortly released, in a protest over the crisis in Sudan, and he also got the chance to meet with President Barack Obama to discuss his concerns about the country.
The news comes after George's parents Nick and Nina confirmed yesterday (28.04.14) that he had popped the question to Amal, 36, and they are "thrilled" that he is to tie the knot with a "wonderful young woman".
George was previously married to actress Talia Balsam from 1989 until 1993 and has had a number of high-profile relationships since.

Ellen Page used to feel "awkward around gay people".
The 27-year-old star, who announced she is gay in February, revealed her sexuality to her parents when she was just 19 but she admits it took her longer to come out in public because she felt ashamed of who she was.
Speaking in the June issue of Flare magazine, she said: "You think you're in a place where you're all, 'I'm thrilled to be gay, I have no issues about being gay anymore, I don't feel shame about being gay,' but you actually do.
"You're just not fully aware of it. I think I still felt scared about people knowing. I felt awkward around gay people; I felt guilty for not being myself."
However, the 'Juno' star felt the need to come out as she got older because she wanted to be able to show her girlfriend off to the world without anyone judging her.
She explained: "The more time went by, the more something just happened, and, Oh my god -- I want to love someone freely and walk down the street and hold my girlfriend's hand."
The brunette beauty admits her revelation has since lifted a great weight off her shoulders and she feels confident and content within herself.
She added: "I felt happy and confident and the difference was huge ... I feel more creatively inspired than I have in years. And I'm sure it has to do with a lot of bricks being taken out of the backpack."

Cameron Diaz has had a romantic relationship with a woman.
The 'Other Woman' star - who stars opposite Leslie Mann and Kate Upton in the comedy - previously admitted she finds women "beautiful" and has now confessed she has had sexual relations with a female in the past.
Talking on Bravo's 'Watch What Happens Live' during the 'Plead the Fifth' segment with Andy Cohen, who asked if she'd ever "swam in the lady pond", she admitted: "Yes, I have been with a lady, yeah."
Cameron previously dated pro baseball player Alexander Rodriguez for a year before they split in 2010 and, talking about the highlight and downsides of their relationship, she joked: "I think schedule, and schedule."
Meanwhile, her co-star Leslie recently confessed she wishes she could experience sex from a male perspective and see how the "real mechanics" feel for them when they get frisky beneath the sheets.
Asked what she would do if she became a man for the day, she replied: "I would have sex. I would love to know how it operates! Like what the real mechanics feel like! It would be fun to feel the other side, wouldn't it?"
