Sienna Miller has received an apology from the newspaper for incorrectly stating she dated the late Heath Ledger.

The New York Times listed the late star and rapper Sean 'Diddy' Combs as previous boyfriends of the Factory Girl actress.

However Miller, who has dated Jude Law, Rhys Ifans and actor Balthazar Getty, was left furious at the incorrect romantic link the newspaper had published.

Bosses at the publication have now apologized for claiming she was more than just friends with both stars.

An apology in the newspaper reads, "An article about Sienna Miller mis-states the nature of the relationships that she had with Heath Ledger and Sean Combs. She was friends with both of them; she did not have romantic flings with either of them."
