Nicole Kidman Continues to Battle to Stop Bing Rumors  4/22/05

Nicole Kidman has attempted to thwart constant rumors about her relationship with Steve Bing by promising to keep everyone informed when she does fall in love.

Film producer Bing - the father of Elizabeth Hurley's three-year-old son Damian - has been photographed on several occasions with Kidman, sparking frenzied gossip the pair are dating.

However, the actress has once again insisted their bond is purely friendship-based, and vows to inform the world when she finally settles into a romantic relationship.

Kidman, 37, says, "It's a friendship - no more. Why do people always assume that men friends are lovers? I enjoy being able to go out with men for dinner and talking. I also like dancing. That doesn't mean we're having a relationship.

"When that (a relationship) happens, I'll talk about my prospective husband.

Before that, I'll keep my views to myself."
