Kendall Jenner Dating Ashton Irwin Rumors Addressed; ‘KUWTK’ Star Poses Nude In Preparation For ‘Fifty Shades Of Grey’ Sequel Role?

Kendall Jenner dating Ashton Irwin of "5 Seconds of Summer" surfaced when the two were spotted in New York. However, the 20-year-old crooner denied having a romance with the "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star.

"We're not dating. I met her in New York with our team, and we just hung out and had a drink. We were walking down the road -- there was a whole group of us," he told The Sun. Nonetheless, he doesn't deny being attracted to the brunette beauty.

Meanwhile, the 18-year-old model remains tight-lipped about her dating status. She recently posed nude for celebrity photographer Russell James' upcoming book entitled "Angels." Kourtney Kardashian shared her sister's photo on Instagram and called Jenner her "Saturday muse."

Jenner's daring photo shoot made some fans wonder if she'd be willing to star in the "Fifty Shades of Grey" sequel. One insider recently told Grazia magazine that film director Sam Taylor-Wood attempted to get Jenner for the novel-based film starring Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan.

 "She's fascinated by her and expressed interest in her appearing in the first film but it didn't happen," said the source. Should the young model sign up for the sequel, it is believed that she'll be playing a minor role.

 "It wouldn't be a major role but would certainly be a foot in the door of. Hollywood. Apparently, she'll only sign on once Sam Taylor-Wood is confirmed as the director," said the source to the publication.

Some wondered if the runway model will be playing the role of Christian Grey's tormented ex, Leila Williams. However, she is described in the book as someone who closely resembles Anastasia Steele and Jenner does not bear much similarity with Johnson.
