Are Jena Dover and Flip van der Merwe dating?

heat magazine is reporting that actress and model Jena Dover is dating Springbok player Flip van der Merwe. According to their sources, the two have been seeing each other even though they live in different cities.

Flip, who plays for the Blue Bulls, is based in Pretoria, while Jena is based in Cape Town. A source told the mag: "They hook up whenever they get the chance to see each other. When she's in Joburg for work, she drives up to Pretoria to see  him. They seem to be really into each other."

When heat called Jena for comment, she denied the rumour and said: "Oh my God. How do you guys know everything before anyone else does. He is definitely my buddy. I don't know which sources have been giving you that information but it's not true..."

The two were also apparently seen at the same British Airways event this year, but were not photographed together.
