Rihanna’s new boyfriend, Karim Benzema, is rumored to be cheating on her with Karrueche Tran, who the footballer regularly invites to his hotel rooms. This isn’t the first time Rihanna and Karrueche have shared a man, however: Chris Brown also reportedly jumped between Rihanna and Tran, and it’s rumored both women are still in love with the performer.
As previously reported by the Inquisitr , Rihanna began hooking up with Benzema after the 2014 World Cup. Karim and Rihanna exchanged tweets about the epic game, with Rihanna consoling Benzema: “@Benzema I feel your pain right now!” Karim responded with “@rihanna No pain no gain, thanks for the support!”
RiRi and Karim were first spotted together getting intimate on a 5 a.m. breakfast date in New York City at a 24-hour Cuban diner called Coppelia. Rihanna started dating the footballer only a year after sex charges against Karim were dropped. Karim Benzema was accused by a French court of sleeping with underage prostitutes, which included a 15-year-old. The charges against him and several fellow team mates were dropped, and Rihanna doesn’t seem disturbed by the news.

Karim likes splitting his time between Rihanna and Karreuche , and will be seen at a party and photographed with Rihanna, but reserves his bedtime for Tran.
“Rihanna is Karim’s main chick, but Karrueche is is side chick,” a source reported to Hollywood Life . “He’ll bring Rihanna to party with his friends and sleep over at his L.A. rental. [And] he’ll have his driver pick [Karrueche] up and bring her to him at a hotel.”

Cheating aside, it seems the relationship between Benzema and Rihanna isn’t solid, since Rihanna is still reportedly in love with Chris Brown. During Brown’s BET performance of “Post To Be,” Karim’s jealousy was sparked as he watched Rihanna’s “face light up” during the song, reports International Business Times .
Is Rihanna’s flame for Chris Brown affecting her relationship with Karim? Rumors are flying that Benzema is Rihanna’s second choice.
“Rihanna does like Karim and enjoys him a lot,” an insider told Hollywood Life exclusively. “He treats her well and he’s such a stud in everything he does. She told him she won’t break his heart, but she did tell him she’ll always love Chris.”
Meanwhile, Karrueche Tran has hinted she might one day get back with Chris, despite news that Brown cheated on Tran with with Nia Guzman and fathered a daughter, named Royalty.
Neither Rihanna or Karim Benzema have confirmed any of the rumors.
