Jake Pavelka Says He Isn’t Ready to Date, Getting Close To Kelly Bensimon?

Jake Pavelka

Just over a month after his nasty and very public split with fiance Vienna Girardi, it seems Jake Pavelka is quite ready to move on to a new relationship.

“I’m not dating yet. I’m still just taking time for me,” the former Bachelor star told PEOPLE at the Rock ‘n’ Roll Half Marathon in Chicago. “I’m definitely doing some ‘me time’ right now.”

And when asked about the current season of the Bachelorette featuring his ex Ali Fedotowsky, Jake had the following to say: “I feel like I know Ali [Fedotowsky] pretty well,” he said. “I think any decision she makes is going to be the right one for her. She could go either way.”

And despite has nasty split with Vienna, Jake has no regrets with doing the show. You grow up so much during that show,” he added. “You’re not the same person when you start that you are when you finish. It’s an incredible experience.”

After the race, Kelly made the following tweets after posting a picture of herself with Jake at the marathon -

    They’re perfect for one another!

    Maybe she can finally make herself useful and punch him out for all women everywhere!

    Two Born Again Virgins!….YAWN!

    they are almost as annoying as Spencer and Heidi, please make them go away.

  3. He’ll soon be dating some guy.

  4. Jake and Kelly? NO!!! Jake needs to stay away from Crazy Kelly for his own sakes!

  5. ROFL!!!!! Perfect!!!

    Since Kelly has the propensity to go Krazy and punch her opponents, I feared for Bethenny on that trip.

    Tweetybird….lmao

    Perfect match, he’s gay and she’s a man!

  8. Jake and Kelly = Kake

    This is a match made in reality show heaven. They both want to be famous so it will be interesting to see who outdoes who.

    Lord, Kelly is so weird about men and sex. And Jake is weird and doesn’t have sex with his girlfriends. I can just wait for the day that Jake and Kelly does one of Kelly’s youtube PSA about having safe sex while systematic bullying by NOT wearing condoms but wearing “Love’ instead.

    They deserve each other.

    @8 or how about Jake + Kelly = Jelly? Jelly beans anyone?

  11. RT lol lma thanks for the laugh

  12. @10

    Jelly does make more sense but I’ve seen that moniker used before for:

    Jill + Kelly = Jelly (Back when they were BFFs).

    *ack*

    I just threw up a little in my mouth…

  16. Isn’t that just like a guy who is rumored to be gay hanging out with an old woman. LOL. How stereotypical.

    So….Kelly B is officially a fag hag now? Maybe he’ll teach her to brush her hair and find some pants!

  18. He must be a petite thing.

  19. well, he is attracted to men. And Kelly was born a man.

  20. It doesn’t surprise me one single bit. He likes the contraversial woman on reality tv so he can get himself back in the spotlight. Nuff said.

  21. These two deserve each other. Both are fame whores, both struggle with the truth. Certainly both have problems with anger management. Both have horrible reputations that they only have themselves to blame for.
