Selena Gomez, Nick Jonas Dating? 'Jealous' Singer Sets The Record Straight

Nick Jonas and Selena Gomez were recently spotted hanging out in California, and of course, rumors about them getting back together started sparking up right away. Selena and Nick have been friends since their Disney Channel days and they dated for a short while, which made it inevitable for the media to jump into conclusions after seeing them together. Especially since the two singers became single not too long ago.

Before tabloids took this any further, the “Chains” singer set the record straight during an interview with Capital FM's Max Akhtar in London Tuesday.

"We kind of ran into each other a couple of weeks ago, like walking in Venice. We were both with separate groups of friends and we ran into each other," he said. "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. 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," he added. "I'll leave it there!"

Later in the interview, Jonas refered to Gomez as “the homie” to what Akhtar said, “No, because that sounds like the side chick. I don’t like it. ‘The homie.’” The Jonas Brother tried to explain himself, saying, “No, no. The homie. I don’t know. Because we worked together and we’re just friends, it feels like it’s that. I wouldn’t want to mess that up! I would want to be friends with her, I think.”
