While neither Coulter or Walker had responded to the allegations as of yesterday, the conservative superstar finally took to her own Twitter account to address the rumors this afternoon: “Best of friends, love him, no romance,” Coulter wrote.
She had previously addressed the gossip on Huff Post Live back in 2013, where she essentially said the same thing – that the duo were close friends, but nothing more.
Coulter did not elaborate any further on her Twitter account except to inform the Daily Mail that there was no “e” in “Ann”.

Coulter also took to Twitter to deny the rumor: This isn’t the first time Coulter has had to clarify her relationship status with Walker.
Were you as floored as we were to hear Ann Coulter was dating '70s TV star Jimmie "JJ" Walker?? While creator Norman Lear apparently didn't think much of casually dropping the knowledge in an unrelated interview, this is pretty shocking news for Coulter fans.
Although his wife was initially reluctant to meet with Coulter due to her outspokenness, Lear said that she came across as 'a dreamy, delicious, sweet person.' The stunning claim was made by Norman Lear (right), who knows Walker, 69, from his stint as the executive producer of Good Times. He also told CNN that he was opposed to affirmative action and gay marriage, though he favored legalizing same-sex marriage since it was not an issue worth fighting over.
Lear, 94, said the unlikely pair were an item during an interview for Entertainment Weekly with Black-ish creator Kanya Barris (left)'I am as serious as I can be, and I spent an evening at the same table with them, so I know,' Lear said.'As we're driving to the dinner, I said, 'Ann Coulter will be at the table.' [And my wife] said, "I can't sit at the table with Ann Coulter, I will not sit at the table with Ann Coulter." And Ann Coulter was a dreamy, delicious, sweet person.''J. He has taken right-of-center views on issues like the death penalty, the size of government, and capitalism.
Lear said, “I love [Walker]; he’s a wonderful guy, but I’ll tell you something about him that’ll astound you: He dates Ann Coulter.” Lear also described Coulter as a “dreamy, delicious, sweet person.” Barris was skeptical of Lear’s belief that the two are dating, joking: “I’m not sure Ann Coulter eats solid food.
I definitely don’t think she’s dating Jimmie Walker.” Coulter apparently had a good laugh over the rumor resurfacing, telling the Post that Walker is “hilarious.” He’s also a Republican, she added, which would definitely make him acceptable friend material in Coulter’s book.
