Chris Pine is a single man -- rejoice, Pine Nuts!

The “Horrible Bosses 2” and “Into the Woods” actor confirmed his relationship status on Wednesday’s episode of “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.”

Host DeGeneres put the blue-eyed star on the spot during his appearance: “So, you’re handsome, you sing and are you single? I should ask that for other people not [me],” she said before getting him to prove each of those attributes.

“Oh, man!” the 34-year-old said, laughing. “I’m a single man.”

The “Star Trek: Into Darkness” star was most recently linked to Icelandic beauty queen Íris Björk Jóhannesdóttir and previously dated Dominique Piek.

The rising action star has kept in shape for his various roles, something DeGeneres gladly pointed out by showing a shirtless still photo of him.

“Ellen, that’s a lot of fake tanning,” he said. “For the movies, you gotta look healthy.”

Still, his career and fit physique have earned him a fervent fan following. DeGeneres asked him to confirm whether his fans were indeed referred to as Pine Nuts.

“They are. Yes, indeed they are. Do you have a ‘Pine Nut’ here?” he asked.

And she did, bringing a star-struck Pine Nut out onstage.

As for the singing? The Frank Sinatra aficionado demonstrated that as well by serenading the Pine Nut with a few bars from Sinatra’s “Summer Wind.” (He even sounds like the Chairman of the Board!)

Pine, who plays a sleazy heir in “Horrible Bosses 2,” will play Prince Charming opposite Anna Kendrick’s Cinderella in this Christmas’ “Into the Woods.” The big-screen adaptation of the Broadway musical also stars Meryl Streep, Johnny Depp, Emily Blunt and James Corden.

It was love at first “Princess Diaries 2.” Follow me on Twitter @NardineSaad.
