Jesse James not dating Kat Von D

Jesse James and Kat Von D are just good friends — despite recent reports to the contrary! The pair fueled romance rumors when they were seen having dinner together in D Las Vegas Saturday night.

But a rep for Jesse — who’s divorced from Oscar-winning actress Sandra Bullock — has spoken out to set the record straight.

“They did have dinner, but they are just friends,” the rep told People magazine.

The rep adds that Jesse met Kat “a while ago” since both of their shows are on TLC.

“They’ve always remained good friends,” says her rep. “There is no romance there with Jesse.”

James’s divorce from Sandra Bullock was finalized in June. Kat Von D has been in an on-again, off-again relationship with Motley Crue bassist Nikki Sixx, who does make an appearance this season on LA Ink.

Meanwhile, sources say Sandra is staying in contact with Jesse — who cheated on her with a string of slutty women — so she can maintain a relationship with his kids.
“She’s doing it especially for Sunny,” an insider told Fox News.

“She is not ready to give up on Jesse’s children. She wants to be in their lives and continue to spend time with them. Sandra will not be letting him back into her life otherwise. She is holding strong and firm to her solo future plans.

“Sandra is moving on with her life and settling into single life just fine. She is busy with baby Louis, work and friends.

“They are selling their joint L.A. home together and Jesse has his own L.A. place. Sandra will split her time between Texas and New Orleans and Jesse will split his time between LA and Texas.

“Sandra and Jesse speak infrequently, via email and other people. It’s a lot to take on so close to their break-up … but it is all about the kids. Her friends are worried about her being close to him at all, but Sandra knows what she wants. Jesse can only get back into her life if Sandra chooses and she is nowhere near that place.”

“Sandra will not be taking him back or spending any quality time with Jesse. They are over and she has made it very clear to Jesse.”
