After Nicole Murphy and Michael Strahan split up last year, fans of the former “Hollywood Exes” star have been wondering who she’s been spending her time with since the split. One guy in particular that she’s been linked to is Nick Cannon, and in a new interview she finally sets the record straight on whether they’re an item.
In a new cover feature for Bombshell by Bleu magazine, Murphy explains that she’s currently enjoying the single life
No, I’m currently single, focusing on me. I get asked out a lot but I think when the right one comes along, it will be different. I’ve been in relationships for quite along time, so it’s nice to be single and do whatever I want,” Murphy said.
Murphy then discussed the prospect of dating younger men and why she thinks older women should feel free to date younger just like men do.
“I don’t see not one thing wrong with [it]. I really look at it and I think it’s messed up that we have this stereotype that it is wrong for an older woman to date a young man. Why are older men dating younger woman but no one says anything about it? Why can’t we get our freak on just like them? It’s time for people to stop making it like a bad thing. If they have a connection let them be happy and do them. When I see it I’m like good for you,” Murphy said.
Murphy then addressed the rumors that she and Cannon are an item.
“We’re just friends. He’s a good guy but we’re just good friends. I see him, we say hi, we hang out. We grab something to eat, but that’s about it,” she said.
And although her engagement with Strahan didn’t work out, Murphy explains that she’s open to walking down the aisle again.
“I’m not closed-minded to it. Maybe, I wouldn’t mind one day but I’m in no rush. If it happens it happens but I’m not looking for it,” Murphy said.
Well, Cannon may not be romantically in the picture, but we’re sure Murphy can have her pick of any man.
