Karim Benzema, the soccer star, is supposedly dating singing sensation, Rihanna, since June this year. But now, the long-time girlfriend of more than a year, Analicia Chaves, has surfaced to claim this bad boy. In OK magazine, as featured in an interview by Life and Style, Chaves claims Benzema has been seeing her and Rihanna at the same time, but since she has first dibs on him, she refers to the songstress as the 'other woman'.
In June, when the supposed love story started, Benzema was to meet up with Chaves at Miami, but instead flew to New York and posted pictures in the company of RiRi. Funny thing is, although he has been seen all over with the R&B star, when Chaves confronts him, he still denies any relationship. Chaves claims he is still texting her, telling her he loved her and wanting to make love to her.
Benzema is a French professional football player who is playing for the Spanish club, Real Madrid. He has one daughter, Melia, just over a year old, with another long-time girlfriend, Chloe de Launay.
All this boyfriend-grabbing brouhaha is not affecting Rihanna any bit, if her public appearances with some other man are any indication. She has recently been linked to Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton. They have known each other for a while, but bonded during the Met Gala early this year when he attended RiRi's after party. Hamilton just split from long-time girlfriend, Nicole Scherzinger, and last May, was rumored to be dating Kendall Jenner. Reports say they have been flirting with each other constantly through text messages.
RiRi was very recently photographed during the Crop Over Festival in her native Barbados, living up to the bad girl / party girl image, with a scanty costume and cold booze.
