Who is Rihanna’s new beau?

All this time we’ve been thinking that Rihanna dates the sexy Leonardo DiCaprio, but could it be that she’s actually dating his friend, Richie Akiva?

Rumours led that Leonardo and Rihanna have been romancing each other since New Year’s Eve last year, which they celebrated in St. Barths and they have been spotted together on numerous occasions at various night spots.

However, it has now been claimed that the reason for their numerous liaisons is that Rihanna is actually dating club mogul Richie Akiva, who has been pals with Leonardo for years, and that Leo and RiRi are just friends.

A source told the New York Daily News newspaper’s Confidenti@l column that, “Richie was with Rihanna in St. Barth’s – that’s where it started. They’ve been hanging out together a lot.”

During the January break to St. Barths, Leo is said to have gone off to enjoy his vacation and left Rihanna and Richie to spend time with just each other.

Rihanna has spent most of New York Fashion week hanging out at Richie’s Up & Down club and during a party hosted by her ex-boyfriend Drake, Richie gave her a shout out and got the DJ to dedicate a track to her.

A club goer on the night said that, “she’s not showing up with Leo, she’s showing up with Richie. I’ve been at 25 to 30 clubs where Rihanna was hanging out. If anyone else had done that, she would’ve been p***ed.”

Even though Rihanna was seen leaving Up & Down on Valentine’s Day within minutes of DiCaprio, she had been partying with Richie to celebrate the romantic night.

We can’t wait to see how this unfolds!
