Nicole Kidman has slammed reports she is dating millionaire Steve Bing, insisting she is a "single woman".

The "Moulin Rouge" star has been linked to Bing - father of Elizabeth Hurley's son Damien - for several months, as well as Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi's son Al-saadi Gaddafi, reported the Internet Media Database.

As a single mother to Isabella and Connor, Kidman explains: "It is very hard for a single woman in my position."

Asked about her relationship with Bing, Kidman says: "We are friends". On her meeting with Al-Saadi earlier this month, Kidman added: "That was business".
