Miley's 'Just a Friend' Says Justin

Maybe underwear model Justin Gaston is more interested in his bro-mance with Billy Ray than he is with Miley.

While Miley gushed and gaffawed to Ryan Seacrest about Justin and played coy with a "maybe, maybe not" answer about whether or not she's dating the hunky 20-year-old... Justin had a much more direct answer when asked about the status of their relationship: "Just a family friend, you know.” Ouch!

But just listen to Justin rave when asked about Billy Ray at the CMA's Wednesday night:

“I met Billy Ray on the show and just became friends with the whole family. And they’re such a great family,” Justin said. “I moved [to LA] two years ago and started a modeling career and that’s kind of just to break into the music business and everything.”

And perhaps most telling was Justin's admission that he prefers older women. He seemed particularly interested in Nicole Kidman. "She's beautiful, especially in person,” he said “Maybe I’ll meet her.”
