In what is one of the strangest showbiz developments I’ve heard in a while, apparently P Diddy is dating Sports Illustrated cover girl and all-around sexy model lady Kate Upton. Say whaaat?
From The New York Post:
After the 20-year-old Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover girl said she was single on Valentine’s Day and had broken up with star Detroit Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander, she was spotted a little over a month later, on March 24, sucking face with Diddy, 43, at club LIV in Miami Beach.
“They were kissing, they weren’t hiding it,” an eyewitness tells Confidenti@l.
Earlier that night, Diddy, hosting a bash at the club, had tweeted: “Miami … Ain’t no party like a @iamdiddy party … Meet me at Club Liv 2nite #CIROCBOYZ in the building!!!”
The curvy Upton soon joined him in the VIP section and she and the hip-hop mogul stayed together, partying late into the night.
Following their hot hookup in South Beach, the duo met up again in New York, sharing an intimate dinner together at Gemma in the Bowery Hotel on Thursday.
“They were having dinner together,” a source tells us.
I know it’s The Post, so you have to take it with a grain of salt, but this is just strange enough to be true. I just can’t see it AT ALL – he’s twice her age and just… Diddy. Who wants to date a man named Diddy? Not me! (But apparently Kate Upton?) I don’t even have any cogent commentary on this, really. Talk about an odd couple.
Well, he’s rich as hell and has a billion connections. Isn’t that why all his other women dated him?
