Earlier this week, Kevin Frazier of Hip Hollywood recently interviewed R&B diva Ciara and got the singing beauty to finally confirm that she is indeed dating NBA superstar Amar’e Stoudemire.

Details and pics are below:

“Just interviewed Ciara and she admitted that she and Amare are indeed a couple. She was very shy about it and said ‘you know I don’t talk about my personal life’ but when I pushed she shook her head laughed and said yes they are a couple. She added that this is a very happy time in her life and that she is really enjoying herself! She and Amare were snapped at a party after the Met Gala last night.”

We knew it!

The newly minted couple made their first public appearance as “boyfriend & girlfriend” at the Candie’s Foundation 2011 Gala in New York City last night (May 3).

Congrats to the new lovebirds!
