Rihanna is set to leave tongues wagging after she was pictured leaving a New York diner at six o’clock on Tuesday morning, with Real Madrid footballer Karim Benzema.
The 27-year-old flashed her assets in a low-cut top as she left 24-hour eatery, Coppelia, with the handsome sportsman, also 27, in tow after she partied at nearby nightclub Griffin.
While the status of their relationship is currently unknown, the pair were first linked in June 2014, when the singer tweeted her support to the player around the time of the World Cup.

She wrote to him: ‘@Benzema I feel your pain right now!’ to which he replied: ‘@rihanna No pain no gain, thanks for the support!’
MailOnline has contacted a spokesperson for Rihanna and Karim Benzema.
