Former The Bachelor star Chris Soules has firmly denied he's dating Ben Higgins' bachelorette Amanda Stanton.

Soules admitted he was interested in Stanton when Higgins' The Bachelor season began airing earlier this year. Soules told Jimmy Kimmel at the time the single mother of two young girls was "kind of cute" and caught his eye.

Flirty photos then surfaced earlier this month of the pair enjoying the Wango Tango concert together in Los Angeles, which naturally sparked dating speculation.

Soules, however, shot down the rumors during a weekend appearance at Foxwoods Resort Casino.

"I am single... I was there alone and she was there with her friends. I was there with my friends. We spoke briefly, but we're just friends. That's the way I would refer to it; There is nothing going on," Soules told Reality TV World in an exclusive interview.

When Reality TV World joked, "So that sounds like a denial," Soules confirmed, "Yeah, it's a denial."

"It's just that there's nothing there," the nineteenth-season The Bachelor star elaborated. "So, yeah, I really don't know where she's at in life or where she's even living. I mean, I'm assuming she's back at home, but we just met and had fun. I took a simple Snapchat of us and she was in it, that's it."

Soules made it known, however, that Stanton "is a great girl though!"

Soules proposed to Whitney Bischoff at the conclusion of his season, but they split seven months after he popped the question in an Iowa barn in 2014 and only two months after the March 2015 finale aired on ABC.
