The 21-year-old Australian Olympic gold medallist, who has previously dated swimmer Eamon Sullivan and been romantically linked to sports stars Michael Phelps and David Williams, was rumoured to be seeing D'Arcy after they were seen attending a friend's 21st birthday party together.
A friend of Rice told The Sunday Telegraph: "Steph and Nick have been spending a lot of time together. It's been going on for at least six months."
However, Rice's mother Raylene said: "There is no relationship except for a friendship between Stephanie and Nick D'Arcy."
In 2008, D'Arcy was charged with assault and banned from the sport after a fight with swimmer Simon Cowley.
