"FourFiveSeconds" singer Rihanna, 27, has apparently found a new love interest. Recent reports state that Chris Brown's former girlfriend was on a dinner date with French soccer player Karim Benzema, 27, at the singer's favorite restaurant Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica on June 13, Saturday.
Rihanna and Benzema reportedly looked like a couple in love as they dined with friends at the Italian restaurant, where the former is a frequent patron. The pair, who appeared to be smitten with each other, reportedly left the venue separately after having an elaborated meal that lasted for almost four hours.
The "Umbrella" hit maker was said to be dressed casually in a plain black crop top, layered with a couple of gold pendants, which complimented with her curls and deep red lipstick. Also, the Real Madrid soccer star, who is currently on a pre-season break, was dressed casually for the date, wearing a denim jacket over a white T-shirt.
This is the second time this week that Rihanna is spotted in the company of the footballer. On June 11, Thursday, the duo was spotted getting cozy at a performance by Fetty Wap. The sources told People that the pair had nice time as they drank and cuddled throughout the show while sitting in a corner booth.
The pair was romantically paired for the first time in June 2014, when the singer tweeted her support to the player around the time of the World Cup. The rumor got fueled once again, when the pair was recently spotted at the popular 24-hour restaurant, Coppelia, in New York at around 6 a.m.
Meanwhile, sources close to the singer has confirmed to Us Weekly that she is simply having fun with the soccer star and is not dating him seriously.
