Has Rihanna just found a new summer romance?
That’s the latest rumor circulating around after the “Diamonds” singer stepped out Tuesday morning for a late-night meal with soccer star Karim Benzema.
The Grammy winner didn’t let a few rain drops stop her from visiting Coppelia, a 24-hour Cuban diner in New York City, with her guy friend. Rihanna wore ripped denim jeans, a plunging tank-top and a leather jacket. Earlier in the night, the pair was spotted hitting up The Griffin nightclub in the Meatpacking District of New York City. While E! News has no official confirmation that the pair was being romantic or flirty, romance rumors first sparked last year when Rihanna tweeted a message to the Real Madrid footballer. She wrote, “@Benzema I feel your pain right now!” He then reportedly responded with a message, “@Rihanna, No Pain, no gain, thanks for the support!” Awww!
