Is Kate Upton getting ‘canoodly’ & ‘intimate’ with Maksim Chmerkovskiy?

Kate Upton

It has been awhile since we’ve had a good Kate Upton romance rumor, hasn’t it? Well, I guess it’s really only been since early April when Kate was thought to have hooked up with P. Diddy, but both parties denied anything happened at all. Before that piece of gossip circulated, Kate dated Detroit Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander, and she seems to have a thing for professional sports players in general. Now though, there’s a distinct possibility that Kate might be into dancers though. According to Us Weekly, Kate is getting with Maksim Chmerovsky, but they’re trying to keep it all hush-hush because they’re such a “new” couple. Hmm. Well, they both have a tendency to nip out, don’t they? Here’s the Us story:

Maksim Chmerkovskiy

Kate Upton turned 21 on Monday, June 10 — and the buxom blonde may have celebrated her milestone birthday with a new man. The two-time Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue cover girl is rumored to be dating Dancing With the Stars pro Maksim Chmerkovskiy, multiple insiders tell Us Weekly exclusively. “It’s very new,” a source says of the stars’ alleged romance. “They were set up through friends. They just started dating.”

When contacted by Us, Chmerkovskiy’s rep declined to comment on his personal life. A source close to Upton, meanwhile, said that the two are not dating and that they have known each other for a long time and are just good friends. Her rep had no comment.

Whatever their status, the pair certainly looked like a couple when they dined a deux at Scalinatella in New York City’s Upper East Side neighborhood. “They were very canoodly,” an eyewitness tells Us, noting that the birthday girl and her purported beau arrived late and were holding hands at the table. “It was a very intimate meal.”

Upton — a 5-foot-10 model famous for her blue eyes and sexy curves — is currently shooting The Other Woman with Cameron Diaz and Leslie Mann. It’s her first starring role in a feature film after making cameos in 2011’s Tower Heist and 2012’s The Three Stooges.

Chmerkovskiy, meanwhile, was previously engaged to fellow Dancing With the Stars pro Karina Smirnoff; they called it quits in September 2009. The 33-year-old also starred in the Ukrainian edition of The Bachelor in 2011.

I don’t know about this tale. If Kate’s team has already denied this story and says that she and Maksim are just friends, why were they all “canoodly” (great word) and holding hands at a restaurant together on her birthday? Kate could probably do better than Maksim, but she could certainly do a lot worse. He’s a pretty well-spoken guy, and he’s got the moves. Get on that, Kate!

    They’re both young & hot, so why not?

  2. jellybird says:

    Maybe they are trying to convince her to do Dancing with the Stars? I would probably tune in just to see her support garments. Like a lesson in physics with pretty people.

    • Buckwild says:

      Ooh. I would be interested in seeing her on Dwts

    • Decloo says:

      Her star is ascending not descending. She won’t be a candidate for DWTS for another few years when she’s a has-been.

  3. marie says:

    he’s a good looking guy, but doesn’t he have anger issues? I think Kate could do better.

  4. Hautie says:

    Run, Kate, Run!

    Yea, this one seems to have control issue’s. And likes to keep his women very thin.

    So if Kate suddenly drops 30 pounds in the next 90 days. Don’t be surprise.

  5. Faye says:

    From watching the show, I can say with certainty that he’s an arrogant ass with major anger issues who shows a lot of disrespect to women. There’s also the story of him slapping Hope Solo. While it’s impossible to know the truth, the fact that ABC never contested her version of events (which included their getting her to sign a form waiving her right to sue over the incident) gives very strong credence to her account.

    Kate can do better.

  6. QQ says:

    Why those Dancing with the Shits Dancers are Always always always on some sex tangle like with contestants, engaged every other year, To each other, to contestants, to media whores? Im baffled and scared at the possible germ cesspool being created up in that show (yes Karina Lady with the Hatchet face, im Looking at You too!)

  7. LeBarron says:

    I finally figured out who she reminds me of: a blonde Lucy Hale.

    • Pastyousayyouneverknew says:

      YES! I’ve been trying to remember who she would look like if she was brunette

  8. Adrien says:

    Maksim looks like Tim Tebow in the last photo.

  9. gorda says:

    He is a douchebag. Who in their right mind would want to date him. He is so arrogant and full of himself. Can’t stand guys like him but iam not surprised if this is true because Kate is vulgar. So they deserve each other.

  10. Bella Bella says:

    Did I miss a gossip day? How is Kate vulgar?
    To me she seems like a nice girl with the the assets needed to make a good living with men’s magazines. Bonus to her for grabbing a Vogue cover. I like her. I would hang out with her and hope she taught me the cat daddy. (minus that gross perv Terry R)

  11. LawyerGirl says:

    I’m in LOVE with her outfit in that second picture! I want everything she’s wearing.

  12. Viv says:

    He was the Ukrainian Bachelor? How did I miss this?
    Did we discuss this here?

  13. DGO says:

    He’s a loser. She could do so much better.

  14. Abby says:

    No Kate! You can do better! I’d much rather see her with a pro athlete for some reason.

  15. katherine says:

    weirdly enough I just me him last night at a charity event in Florida. he was the MC and danced (so did his brother, Tony and Karina and some other pros). He was so kind, sweet and really really funny. He’s been helping this charity for displaced foster kids for 8 years and even does one on one lessons the day before to raise money for this organization. I’m sure he’s not perfect but at least he does some good with his talent and fame.

    p.s. Tony (from DWTS) is really hot in person and one of the most charming men I’ve ever met lol
