Kate Upton, Diddy Dating? Model Reportedly Seeing Bad Boy Mogul

According to the New York Daily News, Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Kate Upton and Sean "Diddy" Combs are dating. The 20-year-old Upton has reportedly left pitcher Justin Verlander for the 43-year-old Bad Boy mogul.

Upton told reporters that she had broken up with the Detroit Tigers star on Valentine's Day and was recently spotted making out with Diddy at club LIV in Miami.

"They were kissing, they weren't hiding it," an eyewitness told Confidenti@l.

Diddy was definitely there as he had tweeted earlier in the evening "Miami ... Ain't no party like a @iamdiddy party ... Meet me at Club Liv 2nite #CIROCBOYZ in the building!!!"

Witnesses say that Upton stayed with Diddy in the VIP throughout the night.

On Thursday, Upton and Diddy were spotted having dinner together at Gemma in the Bowery Hotel in NYC.

(Here's where I pull out my inner Jay Leno and say "Let's hop this relationship lasts longer than one of Diddy's names. Hey-o! *Bad dum crash*")

Diddy was most recently linked to protégé Cassie. The couple were seen house-hunting in Beverly Hills in January but it appears that relationship has cooled. Last year, Cassie posed for a GQ spread titled "Diddy's Girl" and Cassie and Diddy were seen together last year in St. Tropez.

"I'm a very lucky man #knowthat." Diddy once tweeted along with a picture of Cassie.

However, it appears that Diddy may have some competition in the form of another athlete. Michigan's Spike Albrecht , surprised crowds with his performance during the NCAA title game, used his 15 minutes of fame to holler at Upton.

"@KateUpton hey saw you at the game last night, thanks for coming out! Hope to see you again :)"
