Yesterday, Pop Sugar published a grainy photo of Leonardo DiCaprio looking chummy (but not sexy) with a tall blonde who was not Blake Lively. The photos were from last week, in NYC. Now, it’s pretty much assumed that whatever is between Blake and Leo, it’s not exactly exclusive. Leonardo was partying (and other stuff) with various models and other chicks while in the South of France, and Italy, I believe. And Blake doesn’t seem to have a problem with that. Perhaps her game is just that good. I don’t know, but I do know that every time there’s some random report or even a photo of Leo with another girl, Leo and Blake are suddenly “on vacation” at yet another beautiful locale. This time, Leo took Blake to Carmel, California, which is supposed to be a gorgeous little seaside town. Incidentally, Clint Eastwood has a home in Carmel (he used to be mayor of the town too). Clint directed Leo in J. Edgar, which comes out later this year. Did Leo take Blake to meet CLINT?!!? Oh, God.

On the heels of reports about a split, Blake Lively and Leonardo DiCaprio proved that they are very much still together with an ultra-private getaway to Carmel, Calif., last week.

The new couple browsed the main drag of the seaside town on June 16, stopping for afternoon coffee at the Carmel Coffeehouse & Roasting Company.

“Blake ordered two cappuccinos,” an onlooker tells PEOPLE. “One with whipped cream, and one without. But when she learned that the whipped cream was homemade, she added it to the second drink.”

“She was very sweet,” the source continues, adding that while Lively ordered, DiCaprio, waited outside with his signature baseball cap tucked low. The duo then took off for a stroll.

DiCaprio, 36, and Lively, 23, were first spotted together in November, shortly after the actress split from longtime beau Penn Badgley. The meeting was grouped, and at the time seemed like nothing more than a friendly outing.

Just a few months later, they seemed flirty at Jeremy Renner’s birthday party.

But it wasn’t until May – right after DiCaprio split from Bar Rafaeli – that he and Lively started getting cozy as the Cannes Film Festival ended. Since then, they have most notably traveled in Italy together.

When People Magazine starts to do these kinds of “every nuance analyzed in detail by passersby” reporting, I always think that the details are given by someone’s publicist. It’s starting to remind me of the Taylor Swift-Jake Gyllenhaal nonsense, as well as all of People’s “exclusives” on Jennifer Aniston throughout the years. Is this all Blake’s publicist’s doing? That might be part of it, but I also think Leo is signing off on much of this too, if not explicitly, then implicitly. He’s fine with everyone thinking he’s loved up with Blake. Blake’s hustle is really magnificent.
