CNN —Jennifer Lawrence is setting the record straight about speculation she and Liam Hemsworth had a “secret fling” while he was with Miley Cyrus.

When Cyrus released her song “Flowers” earlier this year, many of her fans believed the lyrics were about her split from Hemsworth.

During a recent appearance on “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen,” Lawrence was asked if the music video was “referencing a secret fling” she had with Hemsworth.
