Is Rihanna Dating Real Madrid Footballer Karim Benzema? Rumoured Couple Enjoy 5am Breakfast Date

Rihanna has sparked speculation that she might be dating Real Madrid footballer Karim Benzema, after the two were spotted at a restaurant together at 5am.

We're not even sure we know our own name in the morning, so gahd only knows how they managed to eat actual breakfast AND make conversation at that ridiculously early time.

The rumour mill is today churning out claims that RiRi has found love in a hopeless place (otherwise known as a 24-hour restaurant) after she was spotted at Cuban diner Coppelia with the footballer.

The two left the New York eatery at 6am after allegedly enjoying some early morning eggs.

Or egg whites, in Karim's case. You healthy boy, you.

Of course, a male person and a female person can't simply enjoy some eggs together without being accused of doing the fandango, with various reports now wondering whether there was more to eating eggs than just, well, eating eggs.

A source 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.

"They came separately and they were speaking French at some point."

OOH LA LA.

They were also allegedly seen at The Griffin nighclub in the Meatpacking District of NYC, although there's no confirmation that they were being flirty with each other.

This isn't the first time the two have been hit with romance rumours, with the 27-year-old 'Diamonds' singer first sparking whispers when she tweeted him last year.

SCANDALOUS.

She wrote: "@Benzema I feel your pain right now!", to which he replied: "@rihanna No pain no gain, thanks for the support!"

Then was, of course, then the rumours she was dating actor Leonardo DiCaprio, something she later denied.

A source later added: "He thinks she's incredibly hot. Like him, she's not looking for a relationship!"

We guess we'll have to wait and see whether these latest dating rumours are true and if we need to buy a football-shaped hat to celebrate.
