Jessica Simpson is insisting that the tabloid reports of she and singer John Mayer being a couple are wrong and states that they are just friends.

Jessica, 25, appeared on The View talk show today, where she discussed the rumors. O’Donnell asked, “Is everything going good for you, you’re in a good place, you’re happy…’ Simpson replied, “I’m in a really good place…”

O’Donnell then tried to get Jessica to talk about the tabloid reports that she is dating John Mayer, asking “You don’t want to say, but maybe?” Simpson sighed and shook her head saying, “I love it that she just goes right there….I’m actually not dating John Mayer.” O’Donnell feigned shock saying, “You mean People magazine was wrong?”

People Magazine had featured Simpson on the cover last week with the headline, ‘I’m in love,’ referring to Simpson’s reported new relationship with Mayer. She added, “And they put this quote saying that I’m in love! You know, he’s my friend, I’ve known him for a couple years.”
