Honey Badger responds to rumours he's dating MAFS' Jess

Rumours swirled this week that MAFS Jess Power had snagged herself a Honey Badger, with reports suggesting she and Nick Cummins were in the early stages of a fledgling new romance.

However, the former Bachelor quickly put any speculation to bed, hitting out at the false reports.

“I’ve never met her,” Nick tells Yahoo Lifestyle.

He also cleared up any rumours with his fans taking to his Instagram to put the story to bed.

“There’s been an article come out about who I’m dating,” he said in the clip. “I’ve never met or messaged her.”

“I’m single, happy, healthy and enjoying my adventures,” he added.

Speculation follows The Married at First Sight star’s not-so-subtle advances at Nick on social media, including admitting to friends she finds the ex-rugby player ‘really, really hot’.

“Word is she slid into his DMs after things fizzled with Dan and they've arranged to meet up. She wasn't exactly subtle,” a source told NW.

"They're the perfect couple if you ask me. They both don't take themselves too seriously and love having a laugh."

Jess also previously told the publication Honey Badger would be her top celeb pick to be set up on a blind date with.

"I find him so funny, so witty, so hilarious," she said, adding: “I love his Aussie slang and piss myself laughing when he talks”.

Just last week Jess was linked to a buff Melbourne barber, known only as Á.J.
