Ann Romney has put the kibosh on Mitt 2016.
'Mitt and I are done. Completely,' the wife of the two-time Republican presidential candidate said to quash rumors that another campaign is in the works.
'Not only Mitt and I are done, but the kids are done. Done. Done. Done,' she said, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Mitt Romney, 67, has said repeatedly he wasn't interested in running again, but in recent weeks he's been seen as flirting with the prospect.
With no clear Republican frontrunner for 2016, he has taken to the campaign trail to support Senate hopefuls, including Joni Ernst in Iowa on Monday, and has also kept up relationships with key GOP donors.
But his wife, Ann, seems to think a third time is not the charm.
The 65-year-old mother of five was diagnosed with MS in 1998 and she is now committed to a new venture - the launch of the Ann Romney Center for Neurological Diseases at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. The Romneys will dedicate the new center in Boston on Tuesday.
The board for Romney's charitable effort is a who's who of political and media darlings, including Chelsea Clinton's financier husband Marc Mezvinsky, Rep. Joseph P. Kennedy III (D-Mass.), journalist Meredith Vieira (whose husband Richard Cohen has MS), FOX News host Neil Cavuto (who also has MS), Mitt Romney and Spencer Zwick, Romney's former campaign fundraiser.
