Diane Kruger and Garrett Hedlund are NOT dating, despite an inaccurate webloid report. Gossip Cop can exclusively correct this speculation. We’re told it’s “not true.”

As Gossip Cop reported, Kruger and Joshua Jackson split in July after 10 years together, while Hedlund and Kirsten Dunst split in April after nearly five years of dating. Kruger and Hedlund were spotted having dinner in New York City this week, and so according to RadarOnline, the newly single duo must be seeing each other. The website blares in a headline, “Diane Kruger Moves On From Brutal Breakup With Kirsten Dunst’s Ex,” before alleging she and Hedlund were caught “getting cozy” together. “Kruger is certainly getting some revenge on Jackson once again, showing him she knows how to upgrade,” writes the repeatedly discredited webloid.

The outlet’s romance claim about Kruger and Hedlund, however, is purely speculative and entirely unsubstantiated. Gossip Cop checked in with individuals close to both stars, and we’re assured Hedlund and Kruger are just friends. A rep for Hedlund notes, “They have been friends for years since they filmed Troy,” the 2004 action-adventure movie in which they both co-starred. And a mutual pal of Kruger and Gossip Cop similarly tells us the dating claim is simply “not true.” Despite RadarOnline’s assumption that two members of the opposite sex must be dating if they share a meal, this just isn’t the case with Kruger and Hedlund.
