Is it bad to become friends with my friends girlfriend?

So I met these two people about 6 7 months ago, with them probably being partners, I'm not exactly sure but I think they're in a relationship. Now with the guy, we're friends, and see each other time to time alone. And with the girl, we chat sometimes. Now I really like that girl and I wanna be friends with her, strictly friends. The guy knows I'm a direct person and don't fool around from people's back.
Would there be a misunderstanding here that I'm hitting on her girlfriend? When I talk to the girl I've said multiple times that I'm happy to meet her and be her friend, meaning I've always used the word friend when describing my relationship with her, so she knows I wouldn't hit on her.
