Edit - who was quoted in a recent interview as saying she was "not going to deny" reports she had an affair with 'The X-Files' star - insists "there is no romance" between her and the 48-year-old actor.
The 28-year-old coach said: "We played tennis, and we were playing partners and friends. There is no romance, and we are just friends. No love, nothing. That is all I have to say."
David's lawyer Stanton Stein added: "Edit Parkay met with me personally before this article came out and told me she never had a sexual or romantic relationship with David."
It was recently reported Tea - who has two children with David, from who she has been separated for "several months" - had been having an affair with her 'Manure' co-star Billy Bob Thornton, and had been sending him a series of flirtatious text messages.
Tea further fuelled relationship rumours by praising Billy, saying: "We have this incredible cast with Billy Bob Thornton, who is maybe my new favourite person in the world."
However, Billy Bob has since denied the reports, with his representative insisting: "Billy and Tea are friends. They recently completed shooting a film together."
