Model Admits To Having Relationship With Sean Penn

Tyra Banks is one good interrogator. Today she "badgered" model Jessica White into revealing her relationship with nearly divorced actor, Sean Penn. Jessica and Sean had been snapped out and about together less than a month after Robin Wright filed for divorce. Jessica was a guest on Tyra's show today and Tyra didn't beat around the bush with the questioning:

"Is Sean Penn your boyfriend? I saw you with him," Tyra Banks asks White, a former guest judge on America's Next Top Model's Cycle 13. "Can I say that? Is that OK, is that too much?"

"No, it's not too much," White replies.

Tyra then holds up photos of the two holding hands. At first Jessica says the two are friends:

"I hold hands with my friends," she says

"Ooooh, she's dating Sean Penn!" Banks replies.

"No, I didn't say that," White says. "[We] used to. Past tense

So, she admits it but tries to play it off like things have now cooled off between the two. There must not be hard feelings, though, because she says this of Sean:

"He is a very sweet guy."

Do you think it was too soon for Sean to jump back into the dating pool? Do you think maybe Jessica is trying to throw the media off their "trail" by saying they are over? Tune in to Tyra's show for the full details.
