John Mayer recently admitted to having a crush on former talk show host Ricki Lake and she has said the same in return, however, she insist that the two are not romantically involved and their relationship is purely casual.

“I swear to God, there is no story,” she says. “I met him at a party. He admitted he had a crush and I admitted, hey, vice versa. That was it. I wish there was actually something to tell. There was nothing.”

According to some, John and Ricki have exchanged numbers and the New York Post’s Page Six was quick to say there was a romance between the two.

“He was adorable. Nice,” Lake told the PEOPLE reporter. “[But] I’ve been more intimate with you than I was with him.”

Even if there had been sparks, the single mom adds, the tabloid frenzy would have cooled things down. “The media [attention] blew my chances!” she mock-lamented.

That night, the two did both attend events for John C. Reilly’s new film, Walk Hard: The Dewy Cox Story, but their paths didn’t seem to cross.

Lake attended the premiere, where she again shot down rumors of a romance, calling it “completely overblown.” Mayer, meanwhile, hit the afterparty at Social Hollywood, where he sat with a small group of friends and noshed on appetizers.
