    Nevertheless, the rumors were apparently out there and they were out there enough that Reese and Tom's reps had to issue a statement to People clearing the air.

    Both parties denied that the pair are dating. In fact, a source told the publication that Reese and Tom have never met at all.

    So...yeah. Weird rumor! Even though it doesn't really make any sense, it kind of makes sense that people are gossiping about both of their love lives like this.

    Earlier this week, Reese filed for divorce from her longtime partner Jim Toth after nearly 12 years of marriage.

    And as you know, Tom is very, very divorced from Gisele Bündchen.

    And, for now, Tom and Reese are not dating each other. OK! Glad that's cleared up.
