[muchlove]

THE RUMOR: Jessica Simpson is secretly dating her personal trainer.

HOW IT STARTED: Jessica flew hunky Mike Alexander -- who grew up with her in Texas -- down to Baton Rouge while she was filming 'The Dukes of Hazzard.' The were so chummy, people on the set started talking.

HOW IT SPREAD: Jessica has told friends how lonely she feels after her split from Nick. She's confessed that Mike has been "a shoulder to cry on."

Mike trains Jess at the trendy Sports Club LA in Beverly Hills. After working out, they've been seen -- get this -- at the El Torito Grill directly across from the gym. Nothing like eating good Mexican food with your trainer after working out!

THE TMZ LOWDOWN: Jessica has been publicly linked with Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine, but now her peeps say that rumor is bogus and that Jess is steadfastly single. Indeed, friends of Jessica's have told TMZ that on a recent trip to Vegas with some girlfriends she showed no interest in any of the guys who were crawling over each other to meet her.

But one of Jessica's close friends says Mike is becoming "the reliable guy in her life." Several photogs have told TMZ that Mike has become a regular at Jessica's recently purchased $5.5 million Beverly Hills mansion. The shutterbugs also say that Mike was recently seen leaving the house early in the morning.
