Ben Flajnik, a former Bachelor star, has had to deny rumors that he and Kardashian momager Kris Jenner are dating. A report claimed that they were dating, but Flajnik, 30, said that it is simply not true.
In an interview with Us Weekly, Flajnik explained his friendship with Jenner, 57, but said that they do not have a romantic relationship.
“I did Kris' talk show a few months back, brought my wines on the show. Of course I offered her a visit to the winery whenever she had a chance,” he said. “That's how we met. Recently, she ended up contacting me about a month ago or so and asked me if they could film an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians at the winery. I of course obliged.”
He said that a photo of him with Jenner came from a trip to the winery with friend Jonathan Cheban.
Flajnik infamously split from fiance Courtney Robertson last fall. He told Us Weekly that he is currently dating a girl in the wine business. “We've been dating, she's super great and super smart. It's been a few months at this point,” he said, refusing to give her name.
Jenner and her husband of 22 years, Bruce Jenner, confirmed that they are separated on Tuesday. Bruce spoke with People Magazine on Wednesday, stating that they are not getting divorced right now and are not dating.
“I'm doing great,” the Olympian told People. “Kris is happy, I'm happy. Nobody is filing for divorce.”
