Washington, Nov 13 : Actor Kiefer Sutherland has denied reports that he has rekindled romance with his ex-wife Kelly Winn.

America''s Star magazine earlier reported that the 24 star and the former model are back together, a year after their divorce was finalised (08).

The couple called it quits in 1999 but Sutherland only filed separation papers in 2004 and their marriage was legally declared over in May 2008, reports Contactmusic.

A source told the tabloid, "She really understands him and his quirks, and once the pressure was off to fix the marriage, he relaxed and became more open with her. He''s finally realised he never should have left Kelly."

However, Sutherland''s representative told GossipCop. com the reports are "not true". (ANI)
