Kim Kardashian and CNN reporter Van Jones are at the center of dating rumors, just two months after she filed for divorce from her estranged husband Kanye West.
While the pair have been pals for years, fans speculate their friendship may have turned romantic during her four-year law apprenticeship with his Oakland-based nonpartisan organization.
Sources close to Kardashian, however, are shooting down speculation of a romance, saying the pair have a long working relationship together and a shared interest in criminal justice reform.
On Sunday, New York Post columnist Cindy Adams expanded on the rumors as she noted he is ‘so left,’ he ‘maybe even influenced her politics.’
‘I will not wait while everybody tells me I don’t know what I’m talking about,’ she went on.
Twitter users are divided by the idea of them as a couple, with many accusing Kardashian of ‘using’ Jones to ‘further her law career.’
‘People are gonna look at Kim as using Kanye to advance her in the fashion world and using Van Jones to help advance her into her next career field in law,’ fired one fan.
