Many media outlets linked Rihanna to actor Leonardo DiCaprio, but sources claim the singer may actually have a budding romance with a soccer player.
TMZ writes:
The singer hit up a 24-hour Cuban diner called Coppelia around 5AM with Real Madrid’s Karim Benzema — a handsome 27-year-old who also plays on the French national team.
The two looked pretty cozy inside the eatery — but left separately.
But here’s the deal … Rihanna is a HUGE soccer fan and first reached out to Benzema during the 2014 World Cup. They exchanged tweets in which she told him she “felt his pain” — he replied, thanking her for the support.
No word yet on if Rihanna is actually dating Benzema, and it’s possible they are just friends.
Welp! Guess she didn’t go Safaree’s way after all!
He has a funny shaped head.
She’s being young and just dating like she should. Good for her.
How random.
He’s kind of cute.
Really? Um ok Rih.
Ciara got her pressed. Too bad this is the best she could do.
It’s probably innocent.
Well you have to date until you find the one, right? Go head Rih.
