Tabloid reports linking Shania Twain to Billy Joel romantically have been shot down by the country star's publicist.

The National Enquirer first reported the couple was an item, suggesting they'd enjoyed a string of top secret dates but Twain's rep insists, "the story is not true".

Twain split from her husband Robert "Mutt" Lange in 2008 while Joel ended his marriage to wife Katie Lee this summer.
