Ben Flajnik Reveals Date Night With Kris Jenner
Ben Flajnik, the former "Bachelor" and wine enthusiast, is revealing that he went on a recent date with rumored new love interest Kris Jenner.
While Flajnik, the 31-year-old winemaker, has repeatedly denied dating a newly-separated Jenner, 58, he took to Instagram to share an image from their date night. However, Flajnik made sure to address Us Weekly magazine to poke fun of their reports that he was dating the Kardashian matriarch.
"Dear @usweekly, still dating @lizheinlein @krisjenner #cubbie #callmeforfacts," Flajnik wrote as a way to have fun with rumors that he has been denying lately.

The images include himself with Jenner and entrepreneur Liz Heinlein at the Los Angeles restaurant, Nobu.
Jenner also posted a similar message along with an image of the group date which she captioned, "Date night with @benflajnik and @lizheinlein."
The Kardashian matriarch addressed dating the season 16 "Bachelor" to E! News recently.
"Ben and I are good friends," Jenner told E! News. "I think he is a great guy but we aren't dating!"
Flajnik previously appeared on Jenner's talk show "Kris" earlier this year and has since embarked on a Mexican vacation, a concert date, invited her to his winery and went shopping with the self-proclaimed "momager." While the pair's rumored relationship has made its way to the Dec 9 cover of Us Weekly, Flajnik is upset at the reports.
"She's a beautiful, smart woman. But we're friends," he insisted to People magazine. ".. She understands why I'm upset and uncomfortable with [the reports]. She deals with this kind of thing on a daily basis, and I've worked really hard to stay away from this kind of image."
Jenner announced her split from estranged husband and 64-year-old Olympic gold medalist Bruce Jenner earlier this year.
"We are living separately and we are much happier this way," the Jenners said in a joint statement to E! News after 22 years of marriage. "But we will always have much love and respect for each other. Even though we are separated, we will always remain best friends and, as always, our family will remain our number one priority."
