Rihanna Dating Update: Is Karim Benzema Her New Boyfriend?

Is Rihanna, the Barbados babe, dating? Is Karim Benzema, Real Madrid's football star, her boyfriend?

These are some of the questions the media and Rihanna's fans are asking.

According to Hollywood Life, a source revealed that Rihanna is bringing unofficial boyfriend Karim to her Barbados home to introduce to her family.

"Marriage isn't something Rihanna is thinking about yet, that's not where her head is at, but she's having a great time with Karim. She's taking it day by day with him but so far so good. She's talking about how she wants to take him home to Barbados with her. Her mind isn't on anyone else right now. Rihanna is extremely proud of the Barbados, she wants to show it off to Karim, show him where she comes from and introduce him to her family," the source said.

Furthermore, in a report by International Business Times on June 25, the "We Found Love" hitmaker was thought to be getting serious with rumored boyfriend Karim Benzema. The two were first linked during the 2014 FIFA World Cup Event.

According to a source: "They have major chemistry and have known each other since last year's World Cup. They've been meeting up for a couple of months now and he'd like them to go exclusive."

However, Rihanna was supposedly dismayed with Benzema when he was spotted with Karrueche Tran in a Los Angeles club.

The insider added, "Rihanna is holding off on committing fully to Karim. She wasn't happy he'd been in the same club as Karrueche. Rihanna is strong, though, and is playing it cool. She's also got a lot of exciting work projects coming up, so needs to concentrate her efforts on that."

There's no official confirmation yet coming from Rihanna and supposedly boyfriend Karim Benzema about the status of their relationship.

In other news, Rihanna's name was dragged in the controversy involving Patrick Schwarzenegger, Miley Cyrus' ex-boyfriend.

Latin Post reported that the son of "Terminator" star Arnold Schwarzenegger was outside the premises of 1 OAK trying to get in when the doorman cut him short. Patrick then threw a fit and shouted for about 10 minutes saying things like "Do you know who I am?" as well as "You'll never work in this town again!"

Well, he ended up entering in though, and settled beside Riri, who was seated at the other table. He was said to have flirted with the singer. It was not crystal clear though if Rihanna gave him attention, but it's safe to say that maybe she did not and might have even warded off his advances since she is friends with the "Wrecking Ball" singer and most importantly her rumored boyfriend, Karim Benzema, might get a red card if he kicks Patrick.
