Kate Upton And P. Diddy Deny Romance

Kate Upton and P. Diddy have denied they are dating.

The rap star has been linked to the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue model after they were reportedly seen kissing in a Miami Beach bar late last month, and has now taken to Twitter to insist he isn't even ''personally'' close to the blonde beauty.

Diddy, 43, told his followers: ''Attention all Media. I don't even know Kate Upton personally! I'm not dating her! What's being reported is not true. END of story! (sic)''

Kate backed up the musicians' post and re-tweeted a message which claimed the pair were ''sucking face''.

She wrote: ''Really??? Not at all true... ''@TheCut: .@KateUpton and @IamDiddy seen sucking face and dining out!'' (sic)''

A source claimed the pair were getting intimate in the VIP area of Club LIV during a party held by Diddy.

They said: ''They were kissing, they weren't hiding it.''

Kate split from Detroit Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander in February, while the 'I'll Be Missing You' hitmaker - real name Sean Combs - has most recently been linked to singer Cassie after they were spotted house hunting together in Beverly Hills at the beginning of the year.
