Rumors have been swirling for weeks that singer Rihanna and actor Leonardo DiCaprio are dating and it seems information has leaked regarding who really takes the leadership role in the romance.
In a new report by Master Herald (quoting Yahoo! News), unlike previous relationships, "The Wolf of Wall Street" actor is letting RiRi take the reigns this time around. The site's source reports that this is because the "Cheers" singer is the most independent woman he's ever dated.
"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," wrote the site of the insider's scoop.
Rihanna and Leo Romance Timeline
Recalling the events that have led to the speculation, She Knows provided a summary of the last few weeks. Word of the alleged romance spread like wildfire after the New Year holiday when witnesses revealed that the celebrities were getting cozy in a St. Barths nightclub La Plage.
This was then followed by a mid-January spotting of the two at the Playboy Mansion and word on the street is that they turned on the PDA not caring who was around to see it. As the rumors heightened, Leo's ex, Bar Refaeli even teased audiences with a comment a few days later.
"I think Rihanna is amazing. She must be everyone's type," she said TMZ cameras (via She Knows).
Come Valentine's, Us Magazine then reported that the couple spent the entire Valentine holiday together by going around New York City and even attended Paul McCartney's secret show together.
While there have been numerous accounts of the two being together, the celebrities have yet to confirm the speculated relationship but Leo's rep has already shot down the rumors and said that the actor is single.
Talking to The Los Angeles Times, a rep for DiCaprio said that the actor "is single and has been for some time." They further added that he's "been focused shooting" a new project with Oscar-winning director Alejandro G. Inarritu's adventure drama "The Revenant" in Canada "for months."
Regardless, even with the denial of a relationship, from the way people are getting excited about the possible relationship, rumors don't look like they'll be slowing down anytime soon.
To date, Rihanna's camp has not responded to requests for a comment.
