Last week, word got out that pop star Rihanna and actor Leonardo DiCaprio had been spotted partying together at the Playboy Mansion, acting as if they might be more than friends. They even left the event in the same car, headed to an afterparty and then probably spent the rest of the night together.  

News that they could make up one of the newest and most surprising couples in showbiz spread like wild fire and was deemed very shocking: she didn’t seem his type and no one knew they hung out in the same circles.

Apparently, insiders weren’t surprised, because this had been going on for years.

Leo and RiRi have been hooking up for years

Sources familiar with the situation tell the latest print issue of Us Weekly (story via Hollywood Life) that these two have actually been hooking up in secret for a few years, sometimes even when they were in a relationship with other people.

Secrecy was a must because of it, but when they reconnected after Leo split from Victoria’s Secret model Toni Garrn and Rihanna was single, they saw no reason to hide from the world. This would explain why they were all over each other at the aforementioned party, of course.

“After his breakup, Leo started texting Rihanna again. They decided to have some fun. Neither one is looking to make this anything more than fun. He’s into her, and they’re enjoying it,” the spy says.

For the time being, that’s all we have on this alleged romance, if we may call it that. Even assuming there’s any truth to the report, chances are Leonardo and Rihanna won’t be walking down any red carpet hand in hand because that’s not his style at all.

Leonardo DiCaprio, the serial model-dater

Leonardo DiCaprio has a thing for models and it’s very well documented. Since the days of yore when he seemed to come very close to settling down with Gisele Bundchen, he always favored a very specific type of woman: she’s tall, she’s blonde and she must be a model for Victoria’s Secret.

Above all, she must be discreet and agree to his conditions of not making a public show of their relationships.

In more recent years, Leo’s type hasn’t changed a bit, down to the age: his girlfriends remain in their 20s, while he ages. This has sparked plenty of comparisons online to another famous serial-dater, Jack Nicholson, but also countless jokes about how, these days, Leo just picks up the latest Victoria’s Secret calendar and “orders” the first one he sees and likes as his next girlfriend, preferably by phone.
