Katy Perry and Ryan Phillippe are having some fun with a recent dating rumor.

On Sunday, the 42-year-old actor posted a Twitter message denying that he and the pop star were an item. "I AM NOT DATING KATY PERRY. BARELY KNOW HER," he wrote. "PLEASE STOP FLYING HELICOPTERS OVER MY HOUSE. SHE IS NOT HERE. thx."

A few days later, Perry decided to respond to Phillippe's tweet with a joke. "Can u let me out of this basement pls?" she quipped. Reese Witherspoon's ex-husband responded, "Never."

The 32-year-old musician added: "Hi, nice to meet you, sorry bout that @RyanPhillippe. Carry on, lol."

Both Perry and Phillippe are newly single. In November, Phillppe broke up with fiancée Paulina Slagter after nearly five years together, while Perry called it quits with Orlando Bloom in February after a year of dating.

At the time of their split, the "Chained to the Rhythm" singer sent out a tweet insisting that her and Bloom had an amicable breakup. "HOW 'BOUT A NEW WAY OF THINKING FOR 2017!?" she wrote. "You can still be friends and love your former partners! No one's a victim or a villain, get a life y'all!"
