NeNe Leakes is NOT ‘revenge dating’ Star Jones ex-husband Al Reynolds, Breaking Celebrity News can reveal.
Reports had surfaced that Reynolds – who was divorced by Star in 2008 after three and a half years of marriage – had been spotted out and about with the larger than life Real Housewives Of Atlanta reality star.
Both NeNe and Star have been at loggerheads since the two divas appeared on Donald Trump’s Celebrity Apprentice on NBC.
But a source told Breaking Celebrity News: “There is no romance going on between these two – they are just friends plain and simple.
“They have a common friend in Basketball Wives star Evelyn Lozado and there is no way NeNe would try and date Al to get back at Star.

“It suits Al to be in the spotlight he even made cameo appearances on Basketball Wives and wants to keep his public profile going.
“For her part NeNe likes the guy so why not? But there is no romance going on that is for sure.”
