Jordin Sparks is NOT Dating Blake Lewis

In case you were hoping Jordin Sparks and Blake Lewis were dating, well, I have good news, and even better news. Jordin and Blake are NOT dating. What an odd couple they would have made with him being so much shorter than she is, besides, Blake looks like he hits for the other team. Here’s more:

Couple rumors have been flying about ’American Idol’ winner Jordin Sparks and runner-up Blake Lewis. TMZ recently spotted them holding hands and getting cozy in L.A. where they’re rehearsing for their upcoming ’Idol’ tour. So, in our AIM interview with Jordin, we asked her to set the record straight and tell us once and for all if she’s dating her finale mate.

"No, Blake is one of my best friends, but we don’t see each other like that," she says. "Yes, we hold hands, but we DON’T see each other that way. Yes, he’s cute, duh, [but] he’s also 8-9 years older than me. He’s like an older brother."
