"It's just that I like her, she's a nice person … spiritual people, it's good to hang around those type of people."
Kimmel asked Brand if it was true he brought Tej to the MTV Awards last month.
"Naturally! MTV Awards, let's bring a Yogie!" Brand, whose divorce from pop singer Katy Perry was finalized on Monday, told Kimmel. "She makes me feel real chilled out.
