Matt Kemp is putting rumors to rest that he's dating Khloe Kardashian after she filed for divorce.

TMZ caught up with the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball player and asked if Kardashian was his "new girl."

"Nah, we're just friends. The Kardashians are good people, man," Kemp responded.

Kemp didn't answer any other questions about the reality star.

While he denied a romantic relationship with Kardashian, he will be attending Kris Jenner's holiday party in Hidden Hills. The reality mom's Christmas Eve party will include "over 200 friends and family of the Kardashian's. Matt, a nearby neighbor, and love interest of Khloe's will be at the party," a source told Radar Online.

"Don't expect Khloe and Matt to be huddled in a corner off by themselves as they know people are talking about them dating....at this point, they are taking things very slow. Khloe is still extremely sad about the end of her marriage to Lamar Odom, but she had moved on several months ago."

Meanwhile, Jenner has supported Kardashian's reasons to file for divorce, but admitted that she still loves Odom.

"I still love Lamar and I love Khloe, and I hate, hate they're going through this," Jenner reportedly said about Kardashian's Dec. 13 divorce filing. "But if it's something that Khloe feels she needs to do, then I'm 150 percent behind her.

"We all lean on each other, we have to,"Jenner added.
