"Morgan Freeman has spoken out against claims that he and his step-granddaughter are engaged.  Rumors about Freeman and E&amp;#039;Dena Hines began two years ago when it was reported that the two were in a romantic relationship.  Hines is the 27-year-old granddaughter of Freeman&amp;#039;s first wife Jeanette Adair Bradshaw. Although the two are not related by blood, Freeman helped raise Hines from a young age.  The Oscar-winning actor has now decided to publicly address allegations that he and Hines have plans to wed, telling TMZ: &amp;quot;The recent reports of any pending marriage or romantic relationship of me to anyone are defamatory fabrications from the tabloid media designed to sell papers. &amp;quot;What is even more alarming is that these fabrications are now being picked up by the legitimate press as well.&amp;quot; Hines has also issued a statement saying that the stories &amp;quot;are not only untrue, they are also hurtful to me and my family&amp;quot;. Morgan Freeman was honored with the Cecil B. DeMille award for lifetime achievement at the Golden Globes in January. He is currently filming Oblivion alongside Tom Cruise.
