Just one day after rumors surfaced that Tom Cruise was dating "That 70's Show" actress Laura Prepon, his rep took to the waves to release a statement denying their newfound romance. 

The Daily Mail reports that the initial reports of Cruise and Prepon's romance were spiked by the duo enjoying dinner together at The Renaissance restaurant in Los Angeles two nights ago. The Italian newspaper Grazie was the first to break the report when the photos hit the wires.

But the actor, who hasn't been publicly dating anyone since his divorce from actress Katie Holmes in 2012 (with whom he shares a daughter, Suri), released a statement that Cruise and Prepon's romance is "false." They see each other at some functions, but they are not dating," an insider told The New York Daily News, though the insider adds that Cruise "will date again and has been talking with women." In addition, the reports are surfacing that the once-introverted star has become more extroverted and friendly since his divorce from Holmes...which could mean that we will see him on the arm of a buxom beauty soon!

For her part, Prepon's last boyfriend was Christopher Masterson, the brother of her former "That 70's Show" co-star Danny Masterson, whom she dated for seven years before breaking up with him in 2007. Prepon currently stars in "Orange is the New Black."

There is,however, one thing the duo have in common: both are Scientologists, and both oftern attend Scientology functions together.

So, do you think these two are really dating, or is there no truth to the rumor? Do you think this is just another publicity stunt? Sound off on your thoughts in the comments below!
