Nick Jonas confirmed he has been dating Lily Collins. The 23-year-old singer revealed he has been out with the 'Love, Rosie' actress - whose father is music legend Phil Collins - on a few occasions, and admitted he "enjoys" dating different people to see "what it's all about". He said: "We went out a couple of times. She is amazing. "We have known each other for years, just running in the same circles. "I've enjoyed meeting different people and spending time with people with all the cards on the table. All people need human interaction at some level. And at my age too, dating is important, getting to know yourself by meeting different people, seeing what it's all about." The Jonas Brothers hunk - who split from actress Olivia Culpo last year - admitted he hasn't ever met Phil and is wary of getting on the wrong side of the Genesis star. He said: "I wouldn't want to do that." Nick has been romantically linked to Hollywood actress Kate Hudson in recent months, and admitted the blonde beauty is a "lovely" person but wouldn't confirm whether he has been dating her or not. Speaking to The Sun newspaper, he added: "Kate is amazing, she is a great person. You spend five minutes with her and understand who she is and what she's about. "She has a beautiful spirit. She is lovely. "It has been a year of truly being single but meeting great people and being respectful of them." Despite being fairly open about his love life, the star has previously said he finds it "strange" that people have been so interested in who he has been dating throughout his career. The 'Jealous' hitmaker said: "It definitely sucks. It sort of feels like, on top of dealing with the situation with the person, you have to be thinking about other people's opinion about it, and without all the information. "The fact that people were intrigued by a 14 or 15-year-old's relationships was strange to me. Now I think it makes a bit more sense. I think it's kind of amusing, people's interests. But it's funny, because I think I live a pretty low-key life."
