Madison Beer insists she and Brooklyn Beckham are not dating.

Although the pair were spotted kissing in Los Angeles recently, Madison, 18, insists she and the aspiring photographer are just good friends and are not romantically involved.

In an interview with BUILD Series, she said: "I'm very much single, not ready to mingle. I'm very much focused right now on my career. I'm 18 just trying to navigate my life and I'm having fun and there's obviously boys I can crush on, but I'm very much single.

"He's great, though, he's a cutie, literally one of my best friends. It's hard because now every time I'm seen with him people are like, 'Oh my god, they're boyfriend and girlfriend!' But we're seriously best friends. We hang out almost every day with our whole group of friends in LA together and he's moving to New York soon, so we're just having fun right now and speculation is going to get started."

Madison also hit out at those who are jealous of her friendship with Brooklyn, 18, whose parents are David and Victoria Beckham.

She added: "Don't attack a girl because you see one photo of her and a guy in public. You have no idea what this person's doing behind closed doors. I'm also very open with my fan base and we're all very close and I don't feel like I have to hide anything from them.

"And me and Brooklyn very easily could go through the back of place or we could do whatever, but I'm not sneaky and I don't lie."

Brooklyn is currently house hunting in New York, as he is set to relocate for university to study photography.

He recently said: "When I moved back to London I was looking at my GCSE options and photography really stood out. My dad had bought me a camera and I started using it and I loved the whole process - from taking the pictures to editing and developing - and I just started taking photos the whole time.

"I am going to study photography in New York and I have been doing intern work for some of the most inspiring fashion photographers."
