Playboy model denies she's dating Geoffrey Edelsten

Playboy model Ashley Kirk is insisting she's not dating 73-year-old businessman Geoffrey Edelsten, despite what he may be saying.

A representative of the 26-year-old tells KIIS 101.1's Matt & Meshel that Ashley is flat out denying the whole romance.

"I spoke with Ashley who said she is not dating this guy, and will not do an interview," the rep told the radio hosts. "So, I am not sure how the rumours got started."

A previous report suggested that the pair, who have a 47-year age gap, were an item. Even Geoffrey himself appeared to confirm the romance to the The Daily Telegraph this week.

The radio host quoted an "off the grid" source who claims Ashley is "sulking right now", because news outlets are "reporting this romance without her getting paid."

Apparently that's a thing in the US, but not so much Down Under.

They said: "To which the good doctor [Geoffrey] has responded, "Oh, in America the magazines pay and she doesn't understand Australian newspapers don't do that. She never gives interviews without being paid."

The Melbourne entrepreneur told The Daily Telegraph this week that he has been seeing the aspiring actress for a few weeks now.

"We have a lot in common and there is sensational chemistry between us," he said.

"She’s gorgeous, articulate and fun and is attracted to me, I believe, because I’ve a lot to offer. I have seven masters and two doctorates and can help mentor her career."

Geoffrey says that he was introduced to Ashley by mutual friends when he was in the US a few weeks ago.

Although Ashley is 46 years younger, Geoffrey is no stranger to dating younger women.

He was previously married to Gabi, 27, an American model who he met on a sugar daddy site.

The pair starred on the Aussie version of Celebrity Apprentice and had a massive falling out on the show, prompting Gabi to leave him and flee back to the states.

"Gabi is old news. I haven’t heard a word from her since we split last year," the entrepreneur revealed.

With their divorce currently underway, Gabi said she is now looking towards the future and hoping to date someone more "age appropriate".

"Probably someone, like, in their 40s," she said.
