Despite many rumors that Kermit has moved on from his split from Miss Piggy with an ABC marketing exec named Denise, The Muppets star took to Twitter to deny he has an official girlfriend.
As we previously reported, the first photo of Kermit and Denise surfaced on Tuesday, which perhaps is what inspired Kermit to set the record straight.
“Sheesh. I can't believe I already have to do this again,” he tweeted. “Here is the official statement on my relationship status.”
The statement reads, “While I prefer to keep my personal life private, this is Hollywood so who am I kidding? It is true that I am dating again. However, at this time no one woman—or pig otherwise—is my official ‘girlfriend’. We are simply close friends.”
Sources told People that Kermit does call her “his girlfriend,” and that she’s “always stopping by the set of Up Late," but it seems Kermit doesn’t want the relationship to go public. Perhaps he still holds a flame for his ex, Miss Piggy?
We will see this love triangle play out on ABC’s The Muppets, which premieres Sep. 22.
