Selling Sunset’s Jason Oppenheim is not dating Genie Bouchard, an insider has confirmed – with the former tennis professional happily loved up with Christie Brinkley’s son Jack.
Speculation went into overdrive earlier this week after the real estate broker, 46, and the sports star, 29, both revealed they were wearing matching Prada loafers in pictures shared on their Instagram accounts.
The image featured their feet touching as they showed off their designer shoes in the backseat of a vehicle.
Naturally, it didn’t take long before reality television fans questioned whether the duo were an item.

‘Does Jason have a new love interest?’ asked one Reddit user, alongside a screenshot of the photo.
Another replied: ‘That would be so weird. This is Eugénie Bouchard, a famous Canadian tennis player and Wimbledon runner up.’
‘This was not on my 2024 bingo card,’ wrote a third, while another added: ‘Maybe she’s teaching him tennis?’
However, a source exclusively confirmed to DailyMail.com that they are not romantically involved, adding: ‘They are just friends.’
In November, Jason revealed he was single after splitting from German model Marie-Lou Nurk in May after 10 months together.
At the time, he told DailyMail.com: ‘I’m just enjoying kind of taking a step back from dating. I’m not eager to be back into a relationship or anything serious.
‘I’m just enjoying my time right now. I’m genuinely happy. I’m not really dating.’
Jason and Marie-Lou’s relationship had featured heavily in Selling Sunset’s seventh season, which was released in November.

Speaking to DailyMail.com in November, Jason said: ‘I’m just enjoying kind of taking a step back from dating. I’m not eager to be back into a relationship or anything serious’
However, the former couple had parted ways long before the series was released, and issued a joint statement to announce their ‘amicable’ split.
‘While we still love and care about each other very much, the distance between us has proven to be too great a challenge to overcome,’ the statement read.
‘We remain close friends and continue to talk often and support each other and we want the very best for one another.
‘We thank everyone for their support throughout our relationship.’
Meanwhile, Genie is loved up with 28-year-old Jack Brinkley-Cook.
The pair kicked off the New Year in style on the Caribbean island of Turks and Caicos along with his mother, Christie, 62.

The former model is clearly a fan of her son’s girlfriend as she shared snaps of the pair putting on a cozy display on the beach.
In one photo, Genie, who wore a mismatching purple bikini top with pink bottoms, kissed Jack, with their faces obstructed by his sun hat.
Genie and Jack initially sparked dating rumors in August 2022 when they were pictured on vacation together in Miami, Florida.
However, it wasn’t until last September that Genie went public with their relationship when she posted a photo of herself kissing her other half.
Captioning the intimate picture, she simply wrote: ‘Baby boy.’
DailyMail.com contacted Genie’s rep for comment.
