Danny Amendola is throwing a flag on this rumor.
After the New England Patriots alum was supported by pal Xandra Pohl during a taping of Dancing with the Stars last week, he shut down any brewing romance between the pair.
“Xandra is a great friend of mine,” Danny told E! News’ Will Marfuggi in an exclusive interview Sept. 24. “I’m a huge fan and supporter of her and it’s good to have a friend like her.”
Of course, Danny emphasized that Xandra is still a very close friend, adding that his “mom loves her.” (For more from Danny and the DWTS cast, tune into E! News tonight, Sept. 25, at 11 p.m.)
Good thing, considering Xandra was spotted sitting side-by-side with Danny’s mom Rose during the Sept. 17 episode. Xandra, 23, wore a V-neck T-shirt with her hair down, and was seen smiling big and applauding throughout the night’s performances.
And while the 38-year-old shut down any romantic speculation between the duo, rumors have been circulating long before Danny laced up his dancing shoes. In fact, the pair were photographed attending Tom Brady’s Patriots Hall of Fame June induction ceremony at Gillette Stadium in Massachusetts.
