Kim Kardashian Denies Calum Best’s Dating Claims, Says ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ Star Is Just Her ‘Schoolmate’

Did Kim Kardashian hide a secret affair with Calum Best? The “Celebrity Big Brother” star made headlines after rumors of him having a “secret fling” with Kardashian broke out, but a rep for the “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” star denied the reports.

The dating speculations surfaced when a report claimed Kardashian and Best dated when they were younger, after they were introduced by Kim’s stepbrother, Brody Jenner. According to Daily Mirror, Best and Kardashian remained amicable with each other, since their relationship ended when they were not yet celebrities.

“They ran around the same set in LA and mostly Malibu,” a source said, as per Daily Mail. “There's a bit of a Hollywood clique. This was after Kim's dad died and they would hang out around Bruce Jenner's Malibu home with their friends.”

According to the publication, an insider said “Calum still keeps in touch” with the Kardashian-Jenner clan whenever he’s in the United States. But the source stressed the rumored fling happened before Kardashian met her first husband, Damon Thomas, and before the infamous sex tape with ex Ray J leaked online.

Speaking of Ray J, the insider revealed that Kardashian’s ex knew about the alleged fling. The source further claimed Best and Ray J have met and both get along really well.

Kardashian’s rep, however, denied the reports, saying the story was “false.” Kanye West’s wife’s spokesperson stressed Kardashian and Best never dated. “The story is false,” Kardashian’s rep stated, Huffington Post quoted. “They never dated however, he was in her 5th grade class.”

Best, on the other hand, is currently a housemate of the “Celebrity Big Brother” reality show. The reality TV series also features Kardashian’s ex, Ray J, and Spencer and Heidi Pratt.

Meanwhile, Kardashian recently made her first public appearance following the Paris robbery incident last October. To feel safe in public, Kardashian reportedly tripled her security entourage.
