Photo Credit: Splash NewsDecember 24, 2009, (Splash News) - Love-split actress Susan Sarandon is being linked in reports to a man less than half her age who she met at a 'naked' ping-pong party.
However, her rep, Teal Cannaday, denies the rumors.
"The rumors are absolutely untrue," Cannaday told ABCNews.com. "Susan's relationship with Jonathan Bricklin is strictly a business one."
Sarandon stunned Hollywood when she announced her split from actor Tim Robbins after 23 years together, saying the couple actually split in the summer.
Shortly after her announcement reports linked the 63-year-old actress to Jonathan Brinklin, 31, her partner in a swanky New York table tennis club called Spin.
Page Six insisted Sarandon was "recently rumored to be involved with" Brinklin - while website Gawker went further by saying they are "now in a relationship".
Sarandon met Brinklin when she went to one of his Naked Ping Pong parties, thrown in a loft he shared with three friends where everyone plays table tennis, fully clothed despite the title.
She then ironically ended up hiring him to make a tribute video for Tim Robbins' 50th birthday, as well as investing in his private club Spin.
Sarandon, promoting her new movie The Lovely Bones, had stayed away from questions about her private life during a round of TV interviews.
But a statement released by Sarandon's spokesperson, Teal Cannaday, confirmed: "Susan Sarandon and her partner of 23 years, actor Tim Robbins, have announced that they separated over the summer. No further comments will be made."
