Are Rihanna and Lewis Hamilton an item? Pair ‘have had string of secret dates’

Well, well, well! What do we have here? Rihanna and Lewis Hamilton are dating, appaz.

The pair have apparently gazed into each other’s eyes and done that Lady and the Tramp thing with some spaghetti on a number of dates this year and were reportedly doing such things in New York last weekend.

A source close to Rihanna told The Sun on Sunday: “They’ve had a flirtation for years and have always fancied each other, but since May this year they’ve been talking a lot.

“Finally their schedules allowed them to spend a weekend in the same part of the world and they made the most of it.

“They are both really busy but Rihanna has asked him to come to Rock in Rio in September so he can see her perform and spend time together.”

So what lead to the pair’s upcoming shenanigans in Rio? They are said to have grown close at the Met Gala in New York earlier this year when Lewis sat with Rihanna at the after party.

Lewis split from former Pussycat Dolls singer Nicole Scherzinger in February this year and was linked to Keeping Up With the Kardashians star Kendall Jenner but it seems the pair are just friends now.

On his feeling for RiRi, the source added: “He is a bit infatuated with her and thinks she is not only sexy but incredibly funny, although he knows she has a reputation as a heartbreaker.”

Will she break Lewis’s heart?
