American news and political commentator, Van Jones has opened up that he is not dating Kim Kardashian, describing the reports as rumours that are completely ‘absurd’.
Gatekeepers News reports that Kim was first linked to Jones, a CNN reporter in April, shortly after she officially filed for divorce from rapper Kanye West.
Jones, while speaking to Page Six at the reopening of Jay-Z’s 40/40 Club, dismissed the rumours that he was ever in a relationship with his longtime friend.
“I never made any comments about the rumours of me and Kim Kardashian dating as I found it absurd,” the 52-year-old said, as he noted that “it was flattering for me, but it probably wasn’t flattering for her.”
Jones statement comes after Kim laughed off the romance rumours during the Keeping Up With The Kardashian’s reunion special, The Final Curtain Part 1.
The host, Andy Cohen had asked about her alleged romance with her legal mentor and Kim claimed the rumours had ended up being beneficial for her pal’s love life.
“Van texted me and was like, ‘This rumor has gotten me so many dates and I’m so grateful, so I owe you’,” she had said.
