Kate Upton Romance! SI Supermodel Getting Cozy With Clippers’ Blake Griffin at NYC Bar

Blake Griffin knows how to fish a good catch!

That's what we learned recently following reports that the Los Angeles Clippers power forward has been hooking up with Sports Illustrated supermodel Kate Upton.

According to E! News, the All-Star hunk and the voluptuous model were spotted holding hands and getting 'very cozy' to each other at New York City bar on Wednesday night.

The 24-year old Griffin first arrived at Beauty & Essex to meet his friends, including Clippers pal DeAndre Jordan at around 10:30 p.m. The former Oklahoma Sooners standout rocked a navy and white button-down shirt and salmon-colored pants, as reported by E! News.

About an hour later, the 21-year old Upton showed up and joined Griffin and his friends. The model was reportedly wearing sexy skinny jeans with a nice blouse and, Oh yes, killer heels.

The group dug in some yummy foods like lobster tacos, stuffed peppers and empanadas. They also had a sip of Don Julio Tequila, relishing a great New York night.

Afterwards, Blake and Kate suddenly got too comfy to each other to the extent that the couple were cuddling and holding hands. E! News' source added they are quite a cute pair.

Griffin is fresh from another All-NBA season, averaging 18.0 points and 8.3 boards over 80 games with the Clippers. The Clips finished the season with the best record in the pacific division, but they were booted out by the Memphis Grizzlies in the first-round of the NBA playoffs.

On the other hand, Upton is arguably the hottest commodity right now in the modeling world. The blond beauty has already graced the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, Vogue, Esquire and Cosmopolitan, to name a few.
