Despite reports to the contrary, it can no longer be denied that actor Leonardo DiCaprio and pop singer Rihanna are playing beautiful music together.
In most of his past relationship, the 40-year-old actor tends to be in control of the affair most of the time. He tends to be the boss of the relationship, points out a source close to DiCaprio.
However, in the case of Rihanna, the situation seems to be different with Leonardo as he is also allowing the singer to be the occasional boss on their relationship, reports Yahoo! News.
The source explained that Rihanna is by far the most independent woman that Leo has ever dated. Unlike in his past high-profile relationships where he tends to be the boss, it’s different with Rihanna. He actually allows the singer to also take charge of their affair and they are actually equals too, which is a good change for Leo, added the source.
Rumors of the couple’s relationship began at the start of the year when they attended a party together and were seen getting too comfortable with one another.
Confirming the relationship
While the two have yet to make an announcement to confirm or deny that they’re dating, their actions no longer need explanation.
On February 20, Rihanna turned 27 years old and it was Leonardo who threw the star-studded bash for her, which pretty much confirmed how serious their relationship is.
The celebration also provided the first photo of the couple together in a public event. An insider, who was at the event, said that Leo and Rihanna were very flirtatious all night. It was already obvious that they’re a couple.
There were lots of kisses, smiles and lingering looks between the two during the entire party. But the Hollywood actor still gave Rihanna the space to be the star of the night, the source added.
Despite being into each other, Leo and Rihanna have been taking it slowly and one day at a time. They don’t want to rush the romance because they are both having fun at the moment, cites the source.
Veterans of high-profile relationships
Both celebrities have been veterans of high-profile relationships. Leonardo has had past relationships with fashion models Toni Garrn and Bar Refaeli. Rihanna, on the other hand, has dated singer-rappers Chris Brown and Drake.
Despite her new love life, Rihanna was still taken aback when reports recently came out that her former boyfriend Chris Brown has allegedly sired a child of an anonymous woman.
Rihanna was shock when she learned of the story that she actually read the article four times before coming to her own conclusion about the latest from Chris Brown.
Chris Brown and Rihanna were on an on-again, off-again relationship for five years that also included a tumultuous incident in 2009 where Chris reportedly beat up Rihanna. The rapper served jail time for the incident.
