Rihanna and Lewis Hamilton seem to be a perfect match. They were rumored to be flirting around this sumer and everyone wants to know what's happening with them. After months of partying together from Barbados to New York, the Formula One Champion, Lewis has finally opened up.
"You know, I've known Ri (Rihanna) for a long time," the 30-year-old racer told E! in a recent interview. He added, "We've been friends for a while. We get to hang out every now and again..." The question still remains if they are couple or "just friends" as Lewis put it.
According to Mirror.co.uk, the rumors of Rihanna and Lewis Hamilton dating first stirred up, when the two were spotted at the annual Crop Over Festival in Barbados. They had also been spotted together at New York's 1 oak nightclub, which added fuel to the rumors.
An insider had informed E! News that Rihanna and Lewis had taken off to Barbados for a nice little getaway. He added that Rihanna was just looking forward to spending time with her family and friends, but Hamilton was the only romantic interest on her mind.
"She (Rihanna) is not at any point in her life now ready to settle just for anyone, but she is enjoying the time she has with her friends and also focusing on work," a source told the reporters.
While Lewis' "just a friend" comments appear to be covering up their relationshiop, he insisted that the 'Diamonds' hit maker was just a friend.
Lewis had previously dated pop diva Nicole Scherzinger, a former Pussycat Dolls singer, but their 7 year relationship came to an end earlier this year.
Moments later she was spotted hanging around with his rumored "gal-pal" Kendall Jenner, according to the Business Standard. Lewis and Kendall had been seen chilling out together on a yacht in Monaco. Reporters told that Lewis had been snapped in his wetsuit on a luxury boat before jetting out of America for the Gumball 3000 rally.
The reporters added that Kris Jenner thought that Lewis would be a "good influence" for her daughter, Kendall. She thought that their association would boost her modeling career.
For the time being, however, Rihanna and Lewis Hamilton dating rumors have been dismissed by the Formula One Racer himself.
