Rihanna clamps down rumours she's involved with Leonardo DiCaprio as she insists her schedule is too hectic for romance

 

Following their several outings together over the past several weeks, it was all but assumed that Rihanna and Leonardo DiCaprio were Hollywood's hottest new couple.

But in a new interview with Hello! magazine, 27-year-old chart-topper Rihanna has dismissed speculation that she's dating the Oscar-nominated actor, 40. When asked by her interviewer 'how does Rihanna DiCaprio sound to you?' Rihanna responded: 'It sounds to me like you should stay away from the blogs because they will screw you every time.'

She also went on to say that her hectic showbiz schedule currently leaves her with very little time to devote to romance.

 

She explained: 'I’m so busy right now that I just don’t have a lot of time to offer to a man so it wouldn’t even be fair to be thinking of pulling somebody else into this life.

'But if I did, he would have to be man enough to live with my schedule and not get scared.'

Her statements echo those of Leonardo who, his spokesperson, addressed rumours they were an item following photos of them at a birthday party he'd hosted for her last month. He is single and has been for some time', adding that he's 'been focused shooting' the adventure drama The Revenant in Canada.

However, at the singer's 27th birthday party on February 20 thrown by Leonardo, they 'were kissing and dancing together', a source said.

The famous friends could not get enough out each other and were spotted a day later partying at West Hollywood's 1Oak night club, the weekly reported.

Rihanna reportedly did not let the hunky actor out of her sight and was believed to have been 'hooking up' with him on and off for the past three months.

They had been romantically linked on Valentine's Day and New Year's Eve, according to Us.

In January, it was reported that Leonardo and Rihanna were seen kissing at a Playboy Mansion party in Los Angeles. A partygoer tweeted that the timing of the canoodling happened as one of her hit songs played: 'Just saw Leo and Rihanna make out while pour it up was playing. What is life,' the observer wrote.

At the Diamonds singer's shindig that went past 4am, Rihanna and Leonardo revelled among 75 attendees, who included Beyoncé, Jay Z, Robert Pattinson, Jim Carrey and Naomi Campbell.
