Carrie Underwood wants you to know she wasn’t crying over her split from Dallas Cowboys’ quarterback Tony Romo — in fact, she claims they were never together.

“He was not my boyfriend and we were never dating,” the country star, 24, told the January/February issue of Women’s Health. “The more I screamed ‘We’re not dating!’ the more headlines claimed that we were a couple or that I was crying because he was out with another girl.

“We’re really good friends, we hang out a lot, and we’re close…well, friends smooch occasionally,” she added.

The split is better for Romo’s career. He played the second worst game of his career when Underwood was in the stands. His worst game? When Simpson attended last month!

(Romo, who just returned from a romantic getaway with current fling Jessica Simpson, has since been linked to Sophia Bush, Britney Spears — who gave him a lap dance last October — and her ex assistant Alli Sims last year.)

Underwood, who has moved on with Gossip Girl’s Chace Crawford (they’ve been dating since July and she recently spent Christmas with his family) also revealed her dream job: being a news anchor.

“I love being on camera,” she says. “Diane Sawyer is my favorite. She never seems to lower herself to get the job done. She just carries herself well. I really admire her.”

In the meantime, the American Idol champ — who was voted one of Us’ best makeovers of 2007 — says she is content being at home “so I can eat what I want to when I’m out with friends.”

“The older I get, the harder it is to splurge without consequences,” she said. “I love food. Chocolate and cheese and anything that’s bad for me.

“Everyone has these expectations of what people should look like,” she added. “Some people think I’m fat, some people don’t. Who are they to judge? But it does bother me — if I see a picture, and I look chubby, it affects how I feel about myself.”
