Jason Oppenheim and Eugenie Bouchard are NOT dating: Selling Sunset star, 46, and 29-year-old tennis pro are 'just friends' – despite fueling WILD romance speculation by posing for a cozy photo in matching Prada loafers

Sunset's Jason Oppenheim is not dating Genie Bouchard, an insider has confirmed – with the former tennis pro doting on Christie Brinkley's son Jack.

Speculation went into overdrive earlier this week after the real estate agent, 46, and the sports star, 29, both revealed they were wearing matching Prada loafers in photos shared to their Instagram accounts.

The image showed their feet touching each other as they showed off their designer shoes in the backseat of a car.

Naturally, it didn't take long for reality TV fans to wonder if the duo were an item.

“Does Jason have a new love interest?” one Reddit user asked, alongside a screenshot of the photo.

Another replied: 'That would be so weird. This is Eugénie Bouchard, a famous Canadian tennis player and runner-up at Wimbledon.'

“This wasn't on my 2024 bingo card,” a third wrote, while another added: “Maybe she's teaching him tennis?”

However, a source exclusively confirmed to DailyMail.com that they are not in a romantic relationship, 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 taking a step back from dating. I'm not eager to be in a relationship or anything serious again.

'I'm just enjoying my time now. I am genuinely happy. I'm not really dating.'

Jason and Marie-Lou's relationship was prominently featured in the seventh season of Selling Sunset, which was released in November.

In November, Jason told DailyMail.com: 'I just like taking a step back from dating. “I'm not eager to be in a relationship again or anything serious.”

However, the former couple had split long before the series was released and released a joint statement to announce their 'amicable' separation.

“While we still love and care for each other deeply, the distance between us has proven too much of a challenge to overcome,” the statement said.

'We remain good friends and continue to talk often and support each other and we want the very best for each other.

“We thank everyone for their support throughout our relationship.”

Meanwhile, Genie is in love with 28-year-old Jack Brinkley-Cook.

The couple started the new year in style on the Caribbean island of Turks and Caicos, with his mother, Christie, 62.

The former model is clearly a fan of her son's girlfriend as she shared photos of the couple putting on a fun show on the beach.

In one photo, Genie, who wore a mismatched 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 while vacationing together in Miami, Florida.

However, it wasn't until last September that Genie made their relationship public when she posted a photo of herself kissing her other half.

She captioned the intimate photo simply: “Baby boy.”

DailyMail.com contacted Genie's representative for comment.
