'Love Is Blind' Star Damian Powers Clear Rumors After Being Spotted With Francesca Farago

"Love Is Blind" star Damian Powers, who was recently spotted with Francesca Farago, has denied dating rumors.

Powers and the "Too Hot to Handle" star were recently photographed walking arm in arm through downtown West Hollywood, sparking dating rumors.

In an exclusive interview with Entertainment Tonight, Powers denied the rumors and said they were friends.

"Over the past week, I have been in L.A. with my attorney, Alex Ion, pursuing new projects and business ventures. Francesca and I both share the same attorney. Alex arranged for both Francesca and I to meet with him for dinner at the Eveleigh in West Hollywood along with some of our other friends, including Mitchell Crawford and Raiane Macedo," he told the outlet.

"We all planned to leave the Eveleigh together in the same car. Francesca, Alex, Mitchell and Raiane all exited through a side entrance, while I exited through the main entrance of the Eveleigh. Upon exiting the Eveleigh, we were all greeted by paparazzi. Francesca grabbed on to me in an attempt to shield herself from the paparazzi as our entire group entered the car. Francesca and I are not dating or romantically involved but remain friends," he added.

Earlier this year, Powers and his girlfriend, Giannina Gibell, had confirmed that they were going strong and also spoke about how they stayed busy amid quarantine.

"We've gone on adventures together around the Southeast to beaches and local escapes to strengthen our relationship and find ways to feed our souls in a world that has flipped upside down. Long car rides are our favorite," Powers told Entertainment Tonight.

Farago, on the other hand, recently broke up with Harry Jowsey. The two met while filming Netflix’s "Too Hot to Handle" and during the reunion episode, Jowsey proposed to the Canadian model with a Ring Pop. In a YouTube video, Farago said the speculation about their relationship was "taking a huge toll" on her emotions.

"We just had different mindsets to this situation. We would argue every now and then but it was never, for me, relationship-ending and I think for him, small little things ended up turning into relationship-ending arguments," she said.
