The couple “looked like two teenagers in love” while partying at the Svedka New Year’s Eve bash at the Hotel Gansevoort in New York City, a source tells Star. After arriving at the event, hosted by Kid Rock, at 1 a.m., the two “were glued at the hip,” says an onlooker. “They were in the VIP room, sitting practically on top of each other, toasting to 2008.”


The weekly entertainment magazine reports that when asked if he and the 25-year-old were an item, Blake, 26, cautiously replied, “She’s cool. We’re hanging out. We’ll see what happens.” But Haley was a bit more forceful, according to the source.

The chatty insider dished that when a female party- goer tried to approach Blake, "Haley pushed her out of the way." She definitely made it clear they were together and to star away!” The couple exited the hotel at 3 a.m. and left in a car together!
