Amar’e Soudemire pAArties Hard With Kanye's Ex

Losing a basketball game sucks — fortunately, when you├óΓé¼Γäóre rich and in the NBA, you get to party with people like Kanye West├óΓé¼Γäós ex Amber Rose.

The duo cozied up at Covet, a Midtown lounge in NY, after the Knicks loss and didn’t leave until 2 a.m.

Said a source:

“He had his arm around her shoulders when they walked in. They weren’t overly affectionate, but he was whispering in her ear all night. It was so obvious they were together.”

Stoudemire├óΓé¼Γäós rep insists they are just friends, but we├óΓé¼Γäóre not so sure. He recently tweeted, “Can someone send me a pic of Amber Rose? I need that. I keep hearing how beautiful she is, show me. Gone!!”

Sounds like a new couple to us!!
