The latest man that Kate Upton has been romantically linked to is NBA basketball star, Blake Griffin, 24.

Cameras caught the Sports Illustrated swimsuit model, 21, who enjoys sitting court side at basketball games according to Global Grind, and the Los Angeles Clipper forward in a public display of affection recently.

The two stars "got very cozy" at Beauty & Essex in New York City on Wednesday, reported E! Online. 

Griffin was there to meet friends including his teammate, DeAndre Jordan around 10:30 p.m., but instead was so smitten with "The Other Woman" star, who arrived at 11:30 p.m. that night.

He wore a navy-and-white button-down shirt and salmon-colored pants while Upton, who joined his party, rocked a sexy blouse, super-skinny jeans and heels.

The group was spotted munching on empanadas, lobster tacos and stuffed peppers. They also knocked back some Don Julio Tequila shots.

Everyone appeared to be having the time of their lives, laughing and enjoying the food and atmosphere. But the attention and eyes were on Upton and Griffin, who looked very into each other and oblivious to the rest of the world.

A source said, "the pair were cuddling and holding hands, although they were not seen making out. They seemed pretty cute together."

According to the report, the group, which also included club staffers who are longtime friends of Griffin, continued the party after leaving the happening venue. They hit up Avenue Nightclub, where a source said "they closed the place down!."
