Los Angeles - Penelope Cruz may set hearts on fire.
But she's stated she's only friends with Kylie Minogue's ex-boyfriend, Olivier Martinez.
She told the Daily Mirror on Sunday: "Olivier and I have been friends for seven years. We are very close."
The Spanish bombshell also revealed she's been a shoulder to cry on for Olivier.
The French actor and Kylie called it quits on February3 2007.
Said Penelope: "You can understand it's a difficult time for him right now, so I have been there for him to offer support.
"And it was lovely seeing him the other day - it has been such a long time."
Hugging Olivier outside LA hotel
Rumours of a possible love affair went rampant after the 32-year-old actress was spotted hugging Olivier outside LA's Chateau Marmont hotel on the 4th February - just 12 hours after his split with Kylie.
But the meeting was just an innocent encounter, said Penelope: "He's a great guy, but no, nothing happened."
Olivier and Kylie dated for four years before calling it quits.
According to a joint statement issued by the couple, the split was "amicable and mutual" and they "remain close friends".
