According to The Daily Mail, the Married At First Sight star was believed to be exchanging ‘flirty’ messages with the 30-year-old rugby player.

The online publication claims that a source revealed the NRL star has been ‘bragging’ to mates and has tried to ‘line up a date’.

On Tuesday, October 29, The Daily Telegraph’s Confidential published a story claiming Power had been “messaging the Rabbitohs star over recent weeks” and invited Burgess to a Maxim men’s magazine party as her guest.

What’s more, the publication wrote that Power had told friends that Burgess offered to fly her to Sydney.

However, Jessika has since cleared up the rumours.

The reality tv star took to her Instagram story the next day to clarify what had happened.

“I was contacted by a journalist from Daily Telegraph asking if I wanted to do a summer body photoshoot in Bondi and I agreed. I think it’s fun,” she began, adding that the journalist hadn’t clarified what the story would be about.

The 27-year-old said that the reporter had asked her about her connection with Burgess despite having “text messages” to prove she didn’t want to speak about the NRL champion.

“There wasn’t a whole bunch to say,” she said.

“I understand being in the media, everyone feels the need to know everything about my life,” Power continued, before adding:

“There are some things I’m allowed to keep to myself.

“I kept saying to her, ‘why are you asking about Sam for’ and ‘what’s it got to do with me.'”

While Jess acknowledges that some of the comments written in the article were true, the words about her relationship with Burgess were false.

“Things saying that Sam offered to fly me from Brisbane to Sydney are completely false,” she confirmed.

“I actually didn’t really say anything on the record about Sam and I. So a lot of things that have been written in that article…I’m like well, where’s your quote for that?” Power fumed.

“I think it’s kind of sh*tty.”

She concluded by confirming that she was not dating Burgess.

“No Sam and I are not dating. Let’s all move on from that topic,” she said.
