Kate Upton Dating Blake Griffin Mere Days After a Kate Upton Topless Video Surfaces?

A source tells E! News the Sports Illustrated swimsuit beauty and Clippers forward got “very cozy” Wednesday night at NYC hot spot Beauty & Essex.

Griffin showed up to hang out with friends, including DeAndre Jordan. Upton showed up a little later and joined their group.

The group noshed on empanadas, lobster tacos and stuffed peppers. And yes, Blake’s crew indulged in some Don Julio Tequila shots. (Wonder how they’re feeling today!)

Woah! At a bar and drinking? On a school night!?

While everyone in the group, which included a few Beauty & Essex staffers who are longtime friends of Blake’s, appeared to be having “a great time,” it was the basketball star and Kate who were cozying up to one another in the club. A source says the pair “were cuddling and holding hands, although they were not seen making out. They seemed pretty cute together.”

Not seen making out! Sounds like stuffed peppers weren’t the only thing that was cooking that night! Now if you’ll excuse me I’ll be spending the rest of the afternoon coming up with celebrity couple names for Blake Griffin and Kate Upton. So far I’ve got Blate, Kake, Grifton, and Uffin.
