Speaking at the Fringe, the former first minister says her predecessor is not someone she wants a relationship with.
Responding to a question asked by an audience member, Ms Sturgeon said: "I was very close to Alex for a long, long time. We achieved great things together and I'll always be proud of that.
"We don't have long on this planet, we've got a limited amount of time to spend with people. I want to spend the time I have with people who make me happy and who I like." The former first minister said she recognised that the "police have a job to do" adding that she has "faith" in them to do so.
