Blossoming romance: After a self-confessed 'year of being truly single', Nick Jonas has confirmed he is dating British stunning actress Lily Collins, 26
The singer first met Lily in 2009 when they worked together at the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards in LA.
While it sounds as though a blossoming relationship is on casual terms, Nick has gushed: 'We went out a couple of times. She is amazing.'
'I've enjoyed meeting different people and spending time with people with all the cards on the table. All people need human interaction at some level. And at my age too, dating is important, getting to know yourself by meeting different people, seeing what it's all about.'

However, Nick later took to Twitter to deny that he is in a relationship with Lily, tweeting: I'm very single y'all. That is all.
He then added, seemingly taking aim at the newspaper that reported the news: 'Hate when liberties are taken for headlines.'
Alas, the talented pair have been spotted on a number of fun dates since the beginning of the year.

On 19 February, they were seen at LAX minutes apart after returning from Europe on the same flight.
A few weeks earlier on January 20 they were spotted flirting at Bowlero - an upscale bowling alley - in LA's Mar Vista neighborhood, where source revealed that they spent the night laughing together.
And the next week, Nick and Lily headed out on a ski trip to Mammoth, California, a five hour drive north of Los Angeles.

He adds though that he had been keeping his options open, explaining: 'It has been a year of truly being single but meeting great people and being respectful of them.'
Meanwhile Lily has previously had an on/off relationship with Jamie Campbell Bower, 26.
The couple starred in the 2013 film The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones together and were in a relationship from July 2012 to August 2013, before splitting and then reuniting in May last year.
