Kate Upton goes public with new man in NYC

Kate Upton has seemingly confirmed rumours that she's dating her new man Maksim Chmerkovskiy, after they were seen holding hands while taking a walk in Manhattan on Friday.

However, the Sports Illustrated model has been denying their association for weeks, the New York Post reported.

In the apparent couple's first public display of love, Upton, who has claimed to have just a friendship with the former 'Dancing with the Stars' hunk, sported workout gear and was seen smiling and gripping Chmerkovskiy's arm.
