Orlando Bloom's estranged wife denies he is dating Laura Paine.

The Pirates of the Caribbean star was spotted holding the model's hand as he took her to dinner over the weekend, but Miranda Kerr - whom he split from seven months ago after two years of marriage - says they aren't dating.

"They're just friends. They've been friends for years. We spoke about it, we speak every day. It's fine," she said.

Miranda - who has recently been linked to billionaire James Packer - added her male friends are also often mistaken for boyfriends: "People try to put me together with people I've been friends with for years. As long as I know the truth and people close to me know the truth, that's all that matters. At the end of the day I can't be phased by other people's opinions, and people are entitled to their opinion. Someone linked me with Brad Pitt, I've spoken to him once in my whole life."
