Nicole RichieNicole RichieNicole Richie's fledgling relationship seems to have hit the skids.

But according to the diminuitive one, nothing was going on in the first place anyway.

It was only moments ago the love bug seemed to have smacked this pair right between the eyes.

But according to her spokesperson, Nic's three-month romance with Brody Jenner has crashed and burned.

Even though they were "never really together" insists Nicole.

Oh, OK.

Nic's rep told People magazine: "Nicole and Brody are no longer dating, but remain friends."

Maybe a word is needed in your rep's shell-like, Nic, to get on the same page.

The cute two-some have known each other since they were toddlers, but only started dating in August - apparently.

Nicole Richie and Brody JennerNic with Brody JennerThey reportedly began seeing each other just weeks after Brody, 23, ended his 18-month relationship with Laguna Beach star Kristin Cavallari and months after Nicole, 25, broke up with Adam DJ AM Goldstein.

To clear things up the tiny star has posted a message on her MySpace.com page saying: "I know there are rumours regarding my 'break-up' with Brody Jenner.

"The truth is, we were never really together. We hung out, and he's a nice guy, but my heart was never in it. Anything further is just a cry for publicity."

Shame, they looked kind of sweet.
