Rihanna’s boyfriend Karim Benzema is her best friend

The “FourFiveSeconds” songstress already considers the Real Madrid superstar her “best friend”, and such strong emotions continue growing (fast). Though she’s had her fair share of flings, her relationship with Karim is reportedly something different and special. Between partying in New York and Los Angeles together, these two have been inseparable – and it appears that RiRi is smitten! While staring at them, Chris was noticed whispering in his friends’ ears; however, Rihanna was never disturbed and she continued enjoying her night. “She’s also got a lot of exciting work projects coming up, so needs to concentrate her efforts on that”, the source added.

And Rihanna is said to have been ‘completely swept off her feet’ by the French sportsman – who has 16-month-old daughter, Melia from a previous relationship – and friends are astonished by her transformation. “They’ve been meeting up for a couple of months now and he’d like them to go exclusive”, a source told British magazine Grazia.

But these two have broken up and get back together on several occasions and now that Breezy is single again perhaps he has his eyes set on getting back together with the Roc Nation singer. Chris was having a good time with his friends.

Karim and Rihanna met during summer 2014 at the World Cup tournament, however, it wasn’t until recently they started hanging out.

She was rumoured to be dating Leonardo DiCaprio. Do you think Rihanna and Karim are in it for the long haul?
