Kim Kardashian just "friends" with old Aussie bodyguard Shengo Deane

Kim Kardashian is reportedly just "friends" with her old Australian bodyguard.

Shengo Deane, who had a fling with the reality television star while working as her bodyguard on Keeping Up with the Kardashians last year, said that the rumours of him meeting her during her recent visit to Australia are not true.

Deane was photographed on the cover of Woman's Day magazine this week and named as "the man Kim Kardashian really wanted to marry", but he has shot down the reports and revealed that he has been in a relationship with Virgin Australia employee Sally Poulos for the past three months.

Deane told The Daily Telegraph: "The reason I didn't want to work with her while she was here was because it would get blown out of proportion, and her management agreed.

"It would just start rumours but they have started anyway. I know where [Woman's Day] got their information, but it's not true. Kim's going through a hard time so I messaged her and said, 'All the best'. We're still friends.''

Since Kardashian filed for divorce from husband of 72 days Kris Humphries last week, the NBA star has said that he wants to reconcile with her.
