Desperate Housewives star Nicollette Sheridan has laughed off rumors she is dating comic actor David Spade.

The actress, who called off her engagement to singer Michael Bolton in August, was reported to have embarked on a new romance with Spade after the pair was spotted getting close at her 45th birthday celebrations in November.

However talking to TV host Ellen Degeneres, Sheridan flatly denied she is romantically involved with Spade, saying, "We're friends. We're not dating." And when DeGeneres questioned her answer, Sheridan replied coyly, "Oh... do you see us together? Really?"

Spade, 45, has previously dated Heather Locklear, and has a young daughter with Playboy Playmate Jillian Grace.
