Rihanna and Real Madrid player Karim Benzema get close

NEW YORK, June 3 (UPI) -- Rihanna has a late-night dinner --or more of an early breakfast -- with Real Madrid soccer player Karim Benzema.

The rumored couple dined at a 24-hour Cuban diner in New York City. On sighters told E! News:"Rihanna and Karim were seating across from each other, there were about four people at the table and a few more in another table from the same party."

This isn't the first time the "We Found Love" singer has been linked to the 27-year-old soccer player. Back in 2014, during the World Cup, she tweeted, "@Benzema I feel your pain right now!" to which he replied: "@rihanna No pain no gain, thanks for the support!"

It has been speculated that the Barbados native is dating Inception star Leonardo DiCaprio, but has denied the rumors, saying: "I'm so busy right now that I just don't have a lot of time to offer to a man so it wouldn't even be fair to be thinking of pulling somebody else into this life."
