  • Kate Upton Reveals What She Wants In A Man

    Kate Upton has seen her career take off in the last year, after a modeling gig for Sports Illustrated led her to Hollywood and onto the cover of nearly every magazine on the newsstands. Since skyrocketing into the public eye, she’s garnered quite a bit of attention in her YouTube videos and in commercials dedicated to her knockout bod, but she has pretty specific criteria when it comes to looking for a guy.

    “I think, really, it’s all about confidence – it’s however a guy feels the most confident. And anytime someone walks into a room who is just exuding confidence, I think whatever they’re doing is amazing. I think there is a fine line between grooming when you’re confident and you appreciate yourself, and grooming because you’re insecure. I think some guys try to please what other people think they should look like, instead of knowing how they feel the best in themselves,” she said.

    Upton spoke recently on the rumor that she’ll do a shoot for Playboy, saying it’s not in the cards right now but that doesn’t mean it will never happen. She also said she prefers print modeling to the runway because of the weird energy that collects backstage.

    “Fashion shows are not collaborative. t’s only about the designer, so I get bored in that situation. There’s also a weird energy backstage – it’s a little too aggressive, I prefer a relaxed, happy environment,” she said.

    Despite revealing what she looks for in a guy, Upton is actually taken; she’s dating Justin Verlander of the Detroit Tigers.

  • Kate Upton Engaged to a Magic Mascot?

    Kate Upton clearly is one of the most desired women in the world right now. Allegedly, she’s taken, but this small fact won’t stop many men from making their move…it won’t even stop some mascots.

    Friday Upton accompanied her maybe boyfriend Justin Verlander, pitcher for the Detroit Tigers, to an Oklahoma City Thunder’s game, where they faced off against the Orlando Magic. When Verlander briefly left Upton at their courtside seats, the Magic’s mascot, Stuff the Dragon, decided to make his move. He took a seat next to the swimsuit model, and the fun began.

    Stuff proposed to Upton and even gave her a giant ring to prove his sincerity. Verlander returned shortly to discover that his girl might be officially off the market. Later, tweets from Upton, Verlander, Stuff, and the Magic’s official Twitter page revealed more details of this funny story.

     

     

     

     

    Though Upton didn’t answer Stuff yet, we’re sure she will take this the offer very serious. Doesn’t every girl dream about a mascot proposing to them?

    On another note, since Verlander and Upton played along with the idea of Stuff stealing Verlander’s “boo thang,” is it safe to officially acknowledge that they’re dating? We think so. Congrats to Upton and Stuff on their possible engagement.

  • Kate Upton Gets Affectionate with Justin Verlander at Super Bowl Party

    The Super Bowl ended horrifically for the Denver Broncos, but some of their fans, in their honor, scored big. For example, Broncos’ fan Kate Upton may have reunited with an old flame while celebrating the Super Bowl.

    On Friday, January 31, Upton attended the 2014 GQ Super Bowl party, and received more than a gift bag. Guests of the event saw her getting cozy with her rumored ex-boyfriend Detroit Tigers Pitcher Justin Verlander. The two have never confirmed a relationship, but have denied dating rumors since January 2013. In February 2013, rumors surfaced that they ended their romance. Then she officially started dating Dancing with the Stars’ dancer Maksim Chmerkovskiy in June of the same year. Chmerkovskiy and Upton ended their romance six months later in December. Now with Upton recently single, new rumors about Verlander and her courtship have emerged. They still deny any romance rumors.

    However, their actions at the GQ Super Bowl party won’t help prove their case. They posed for some public pictures together, and they got more intimate when the cameras weren’t on them. According to E! Online, the pair was seen holding hands, dancing and getting a little affectionate.

    When she wasn’t with Verlander, Upton still cut loose. She tossed off her heels-replacing them with hotel slippers-and danced around with some of her friends. Party attenders reported Upton as being “friendly and humble” to all everyone around her.  She stayed at the party until 1:30am.

    Upton told E! Online that she was rooting for “The Broncos” to win the Super Bowl, because “my parents are from there and I love horses.”

    There is no denying that the Broncos lost last night’s Super Bowl game, but Upton can continue to deny her romance with Verlander. Maybe this is the year that the rumored couple will finally at least admit they know each other.

    The 21-year-old looked stunning in a black leather dress, making her blue eyes pop even more. Verlander didn’t look to bad himself sporting maroon pants and a tweed blazer.

    According to an E! news, Upton was “very affectionate” with the 30-year-old athlete. Verlander was a “complete gentleman” and rubbed her back. They held hands at their booth and she rested her head on his shoulder.

  • Kate Upton and Justin Verlander Are Not Dating

    Kate Upton and her ex-boyfriend Justin Verlander were spotted together over the weekend, which stirred up rumors that they were again romantically involved.

    Upton, 21, and Verlander, 30, were photographed at the Wells Fargo Arena in Philadelphia on Saturday night while they were watching the Philadelphia Flyers versus the Tampa Bay Lightning hockey game. @Charlton_dylan, an avid Twitter user, posted the photo of the couple (or not) on her personal twitter page. “Kate Upton and Justin Verlander at the flyers game in the box seats next to ours,” she captioned the photo.

    While it may appear that Upton and the Detroit Tigers pitcher are headed for reconciliation, sources close to couple reveal that they are NOT dating again. Verlander had to undergo core muscle repair surgery on Wednesday morning to correct an injury he received during his offseason conditioning program. “Kate and Justin are not back together” the source confirms, adding that Verlander had asked Upton to visit him before his surgery. “She wanted to be there for him,” the source continued.

    Verlander will endure six weeks of physical therapy, and is scheduled to begin playing again at the start of the 2014 season. “Despite the fact this is a little bit of a setback physically, his previous workouts will probably allow him to catch up to speed much quicker,” the team’s manager said during a press conference. “We fully anticipate Justin to participate in spring training and be in a position to compete at the beginning of the 2014 season,” Tigers GM Dave Dombrowski said in a statement.

    After his surgery, Verlander took to Twitter to thank his friends, family, and fans for their support. “Thanks for the support regarding my surgery today. It went well and now my only focus is to get ready for 2014! #determined,” he tweeted.
