Kris Jenner and Ben Flajnik go way back.

The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star and the former Bachelor, who have been having a field day with all the reports claiming that they're more than friends, were part of a group that partied at Girls Gone Wild founder Joe Francis' beach-side mansion over the summer.

The pic was posted after Kris and husband Bruce Jenner had already been living apart for a while but before they had confirmed their separation after 22 years of marriage.

"Pool day w/ Litibu this weekend @casaaramara w/@realjoefrancis @krisjenner @cicibussey@rondakamihira @benflajnik. Love you guys!" Francis' girlfriend, model Abbey Lauren Wilson, posted a pic to Instagram of the happy bunch—including Kris in a bright-purple string bikini sandwiched between Francis (a longtime friend of the Kardashian family) and Flajnik.

The 58-year-old mother of six just joked Tuesday about having "date night" with Flajnik at Nobu, mocking an Us Weekly cover touting their romance.

"Dear @usweekly, still dating. @lizheinlein @krisjenner#cubbie #callmeforfacts," Flajnik, whose family owns a vineyard in Northern California, added to the Instagram fun as well.

They looked to be having a ball at Francis' house, where a sea lion also happened to also be splashing around in the infinity pool overlooking the Pacific Ocean.

"Kris is a very, very dear friend of mine. We are not dating, we're just working on a couple of projects together, so that's why we've been seen a lot as of late," Flajnik, 30, told People back in October.

The members of the sprawling Jenner-Kardashian family who were in L.A. gathered for a Thanksgiving feast last week. Kris shared the mouth-watering menu on Instagram, having told E! News that there was "nothing that makes me happier than waking up Thanksgiving morning, turning on the Macys Day parade or a good Kardashian marathon."

New episodes of Keeping Up With the Kardashians will return in January, only on E!
