AceShowbiz - Contrary to recent reports, Bella Hadid is not dating Jack Nicholson's grandson. Shortly after words spread like wildfire that she is romancing Duke Nicholson, the sister of Gigi Hadid offered some clarification about the status of her relationship.

On Wednesday, October 14, Bella's representative informed E!
