Apprentice Winner: "I'm Not Getting Married"  6/9/06

The latest winner of US reality show The Apprentice has hit back at reports he is set to wed his girlfriend, who was a rival contestant.

Property tycoon Donald Trump selected Sean Yazbeck as his latest right-hand man at the live finale on Monday night (05JUN06) - when the British-born businessman revealed he was dating Tammy Trenta.

But Yazbeck, 33, insists it is far too early in their relationship to consider marriage.

He says, "We're not getting married. At this stage, it's way too soon to be talking about that.

And he explains the mix-up - he simply misheard the question when quizzed by journalists. He adds, "I thought I was answering whether I loved her!"
