What do Presley and Jones say about the rumors?

As much as some of their fans want to believe that Presley and Jones are a couple, both have denied the rumors. Speaking on ITV’s Good Morning Britain, Presley addressed the speculations and described her relationship with Jones as a “great friendship.”

She also mentioned she’s great friends with many men, but rumors about her having a romantic relationship with any of them aren’t true.

Jones, in his turn, told the Sun he and Presley “have been friends for a long time” and described her as “a lovely lady.” “We do enjoy our nights out together,” the singer added.

Did Jones’ friends give him away?

Still, many people believe there’s something between Presley and Jones that they aren’t telling us about. Singer and Jones’ friend Tony Christie and his wife Sue spoke to Sunday People, and Sue was quoted as saying:

I think they had a spark and had known each other for years. We’ve had friends who have got together later on in life.

It’s really lovely, you should have somebody in your old age.

Well, there’s no way of knowing if Presley and Jones really are more than “just friends” unless they say it publicly. Anyway, if they said they really are a couple, no one would be surprised.
