Chris Martin's protégé, Victoria Canal, has refuted rumors of her dating Tom Cruise.

“Guys, this is literally bonkers, but apparently the tabloids think i am dating tom cruise. i’m deceased.💀,” she wrote in a lengthy Instagram statement Monday along with a photo of herself covering her laughter with one hand as well as screengrabs of several tabloids reporting their alleged romance.

Canal, 25, admitted that Cruise, 62, is a “lovely person” but is definitely not her boyfriend.

“Let’s just stop this in its tracks – i’m sorry to bum u out but i am not dating the man, albeit a lovely person & artist,” she wrote. “lol never thought I would have to clarify that out loud in my life.”

The Spanish singer stated that the "Risky Business" actor has been "nothing but a respectful and encouraging person and mentor," likening him to her dad, her music teachers, and her other mentor, Chris Martin.

“And again, i am friends with all kinds of people who are very different to me. you learn a lot if you’re open to life bringing you those teachers,” she wrote.

She took the opportunity to promote her upcoming musical projects, including new songs and a tour in Europe and North America.

“Ok lastly gonna take this opportunity to say I’M GOING ON TOUR and have 2 new slaying songs out so if you’re new here, enjoy xx,” she said.

The "Mission: Impossible" star and Canal recently sparked dating rumors after meeting at the Glastonbury Festival in England earlier this summer.

In June, Canal performed on stage with Coldplay, while Cruise was seen watching the show from a VIP area.

“Tom invited Victoria to watch him film for the whole day and that is just not something he does for his random friends,” a source told the Sun. “It might have seemed unlikely that they would become anything more than friends but they are pretty much inseparable.”
