According to Us, Rihanna and Ryan first hooked up back in December - after Rhi’s relationship with sports star Matt Kemp hit the rocks - but have been keeping their new relationship seriously quiet.

'They initially hooked up when things were strained with Matt Kemp,' one source revealed, adding they ‘spent the night together’ after a Gucci/Roc Nation event earlier this month.

Ryan – who was recently linked to Mamma Mia! star Amanda Seyfried, and has two children with ex-wife Reese Witherspoon – even made an appearance at Rihanna’s high profile 23rd birthday bash, where she reportedly welcomed him with a ‘huge hug.’

But despite being spotted together, the pair were giving nothing away.

'They hung out a bit, but were discreet. It is still very casual. Clearly they are keeping it on the downlow,' said the source.

Rihanna partied the night away with celebs including Beyonce, Jay-Z and P Diddyat the glittering Beverley Hills bash, held a private residence on Monday.
