Damien Rice has denied rumours sparked earlier this year that Renee Zellweger and he were romantically involved, which is possibly quite a good thing, give that the Bridget Jones star has now married country musician Kenny Chesney.
The singer songwriter insisted that the two, who did spend some time together earlier in the year, were just friends. According to breakingnews.ie, Rice said "We... we hung out, that's all. People would see us hanging out and immediately think - well, you know. She's really very nice indeed, Renee, so intelligent, so sharp and sorted out. I learned a lot from her, and we became very close and sweet new friends. I'm so happy for her now. And I'm glad I met her. She's a lovely woman."
