A representative for Scarlett Johansson has denied reports that the star is dating Jason Sudeikis.

Life & Style claimed that the Iron Man 2 actress went on a dinner date with the Saturday Night Live star this weekend.

An onlooker at the pair's chosen venue - Santa Monica gastro pub Father's Office - said: "Scarlett and Jason were flirting and making lots of eye contact. He reached across the table twice to grab her hand."

However, a spokesperson for Johansson has since described the meal as an "outing amongst friends", which was also attended by Sudeikis's SNL co-star Will Forte.

The rep explained to Celebuzz: "The part they chose not to run was this - ‘Scarlett is not dating Jason nor is she dating anyone for that matter'. It was just a friendly outing amongst friends."

Johansson filed for divorce from husband Ryan Reynolds back in December, while Sudeikis has recently split with Mad Men star January Jones.
