Star Jones Dating NBA Star Dwyane Wade?

Is the May-December Romance a True Story?

According to various rumors and reports, Miami Heat NBA star Dwyane Wade and ABC star from "The View" Star Jones have been seen out in public together and may in fact be dating.

The Internet and magazines as wel as TV have all been abuzz with these rumors, but are they really true? At this point it seems just like some innuendo and maybe an appearance or two as friends blown up and taken out of context. The media outlets are loving the story because they can take the possibility of it being true, manipulate the headlines a bit, and publish it as some sort of cliffhanger-type story that people will be so curious about that they have no choice but to click and find out what's going on.

The alleged romance doesn't seem to make sense because of the age difference but at this point it hasn't been confirmed if Star Jones and Dwyane Wade are actually dating or not.

A conversation by Charles Barkley and Alonzo Mourning on TNT's NBA Tip-off TV show is listed here, discussing the possible romance:

Mourning on whether or not his Heat teammate Dwyane Wade is dating TV personality Star Jones: "(Wade) and (Jones) are friends...Star (Jones) is a great person, but I don't see that as a match at all."

Charles Barkley responded to that explanation with a playful comment of his own in his own typical, say-what-he-feels-like style:"She's a cougar, isn't she?" said Barkley, referring to Star Jones and the perception that she may have overacheived a bit in the dating game if the story is indeed true. Barkley and Dwyane Wade did a bunch of cell phone commercials together so they also know each other pretty well but Barkley didn't seem to know any inside information of his own about whether the two stars are in fact dating or not.
