Kris Jenner, 'Bachelor' Ben Flajnik Mexico Vacation Fuels Romance Rumors
Kris Jenner and Ben Flajnik have been subject to recurring dating rumors in recent weeks, but the "Bachelor" star insists they are just business associates.
The unlikely pair, who have gradually grown closer since Flajnik appeared on Jenner's talk show "Kris" in July, recently fueled dating speculation after photos emerged of them spending time together. The duo has enjoyed a vacation together in Mexico, a concert date, shopping trips and even a trip to Flajnik's winery.
The season 16 "Bachelor" was also recently photographed leaving Jenner's Calabasas home behind the wheel of her Bentley, but he has vehemently denied that they are more than friends.

"I happened to be in L.A. and I didn't have a car, so she let me borrow hers. She wasn't even there. Her assistant opened up the garage and just said, 'Pick one,' " Flajnik told People magazine.
"We have some really great things in the works, and this is frustrating because it's not the light I wanted shed on our projects," he said about the dating rumors. "It is like you can't do anything without people thinking you're hooking up or in a relationship."
On Tuesday Us magazine claimed Jenner, 58, and Flajnik, 30, became involved shortly after he appeared on her show.
"They started hanging out. It got romantic right away," an insider told Us of when they first met. "They've been hooking up."
Flajnik, who was previously engaged to Courtney Robertson, wasted no time responding to the report.
"Here we go again. Hey @usweekly maybe put a call into me once and a while for some fact checking. Sincerely, #TheTruth," he tweeted Tuesday, Nov. 26.
Meanwhile Jenner, who announced her separation from Bruce, 63, after 22 years of marriage in October, has done little to dispel the romance reports.
"You find who you fall in love with in life," she recently told ET Online of potentially dating a younger man. "If they happen to be a certain age, they happen to be a certain age."
