In contradiction of widespread reports, Halle Berry is insisting she does not have a new man in her life.
Berry had been spotted kissing an unidentified man who was assumed to be her new man.
She was said to be passionately in love and the New York Post published a picture of her kissing the man, with the headline Halle’s Hot New Flame.
In fact, the man in question is French filmmaker, Pitof (he goes by one name) - director of her new film, Catwoman.
Berry’s publicist said they are very close friends and were photographed hugging and saying goodbye at Sony film studios.
They were emotional because they had just spent six months filming together.
Catwoman opens in the summer.
Berry has been single since her marriage to second husband, Eric Benet ended in October amidst rumours of his infidelity.
Berry meanwhile has been named 2004 female star of the year by the annual Sho-West film convention in America.
