Rihanna And Lewis Hamilton Heat Up Dating Rumors In Barbados, But What About Karim Benzema?

Rihanna has taken a break out of her busy recording schedule to party in Barbados in honor of the island’s annual carnival, but it looks like Rihanna hasn’t been partying alone.

Rihanna was spotted hanging with her close friends during the celebratory event, but photographers also caught Rihanna’s rumored boyfriend, Lewis Hamilton, partying and dancing to the music alongside Rih’s crowd.

For the festivities, Rihanna donned an elaborate feathered and bejeweled headpiece complete with matching bottoms and bra while Hamilton opted to go shirtless to show off his incredible body, E! Online reports.

Despite the rumors surrounding Rihanna and Hamilton’s alleged romance, sources close to Rih insist that she and the Formula 1 driver are just friends. In fact, the source notes that Rihanna “is not dating Lewis” and that she is still “hanging out with Karim [Benzema] at the moment.”

Rihanna and Benzema first ignited dating rumors in early June after they were seen having a late-night meal together following an evening of partying at NYC’s hottest nightclubs. A source close to Rihanna revealed at the time that she and Benzema share a mutual admiration for one another and stay in close contact via text or phone calls when they can’t be together.

Benzema made headlines last month after he was spotted getting cozy with Analica Chaves, leading fans to believe that the soccer star and Rihanna were on the outs. While neither Rihanna nor Benzema ever commented on the dating rumors, sources insist that the duo remain on good terms.

While Rihanna heats up dating rumors with both Lewis Hamilton and Karim Benzema, the songstress is also making headlines for her rumored rekindled friendship with ex-boyfriend Chris Brown.

Brown fueled dating rumors with Rihanna last week when fans caught the “Ayo” singer performing Rihanna’s chart-topping hit “B***** Better Have My Money” during his performance in the Philippines.

In an interview with Tim Westwood, Brown gushed over his love for Rihanna while noting that he still listens to her music all the time.

According to sources close to Brown, Rihanna’s ex seems to be warming up to the idea of reaching out to the “Diamonds” singer in the hopes of rekindling their former romance, Urban Islandz reports.

“I think Chris was lame to let RiRi go…I mean she is the baddest chick in the game right now, she is just killing it musically and in fashion so it’s no surprise that he is still in love with her, she is banging. Him singing Rihanna’s song is just his way of telling everyone including her that he still loves her. I think Breezy wants that old thing back.”

While Rihanna has yet to respond to Brown’s kind words about her and her music, it appears Rih is busy getting cozy with Lewis Hamilton while in Barbados.

Who do you think Rihanna is dating? Is there a chance for her and Chris Brown in the future?
