It was claimed last week that Cassandra Wood had her sights set on Nick Cummins’ brother Jacob.
But on Monday, The Honey Badger’s 25-year-old sibling hit back at the reports.
‘[I am] not in a relationship with Cass Wood,’ he told Yahoo Lifestyle.

Last Monday, Woman’s Day reported that accounting student Cassandra turned to Jacob for support after being brutally rejected by the former Wallaby.
‘It started off as a friendship and things could well have blossomed,’ a source claimed.
‘They’re waiting for all the show’s hype to die down before they make any announcement on the status of their relationship, but Nick couldn’t be happier for them,’ the ‘insider’ added.

During an episode of The Bachelor, which aired in late August, Jacob appeared to bond with Cassandra while offering her relationship advice.
In a piece to camera, he explained that he and Nick, 31, had previously spent time holidaying with Cassandra on the Gold Coast.
Jacob said at the time: ‘I met Cass about a year ago. She was up for the summer, up at the Gold Coast and we went surfing with Nick and we had a few yarns, few beers.’

‘They have a history outside, so it’ll be interesting to see how it works for her,’ he added.
Following Nick’s brutal rejection, Cassandra admitted that she struggled to move past the heartache.
During an appearance on The Sunday Project earlier this month, the Instagram model told Lisa Wilkinson: ‘I feel like a bit of a joke. It hasn’t been [easy].’
