Is Rihanna dating Lewis Hamilton? The two sparked rumors when they were seen together at a parade at her home island of Barbados. 

Hamilton joined the singer for the annual Kadooment Day event and they were seen dancing with a group of friends. The Formula One driver was on Rihanna's carnival float, where she danced along with other festival goers. Wearing a jeweled bikini and an elaborate headdress, the 27-year old appeared to have been having a great time as Hamilton, clad in a baseball cap and shorts, gamely participated in the merrymaking as well. 

According to the Mirror, the pair has been on a series of secret dates this year, including a night out in New York last weekend.

A source close to Rihanna reportedly said, "They've had a flirtation for years and have always fancied each other, but since May this year they've been talking a lot." 

The insider added that their schedules have allowed them to spend a weekend in the same part of the world. 

As to when their next date will be, the source said that although both celebrities are extremely busy, Rihanna has allegedly asked the 30-year-old racer to come to Rock in Rio "so he can see her perform and spend time together." 

It was reported that the pair grew close at the Met Gala in New York earlier this year when Lewis sat with Rihanna at the afterparty. 

Meanwhile, although dating rumors continue to spark around the two, a source told E! News that they are just friends.

"She is not dating Lewis," said the insider. "Rihanna is still hanging out with Karim [Benzema]."

Rihanna and the soccer player were first linked in June after they were seen together on a number of dates. 

Aside from Rihanna, Lewis has been linked with a number of women including Kendall Jenner since his split with singer Nicole Scherzinger in February. The Formula One driver parted ways with the "Stick With You" hitmaker after an eight year romance. Meanwhile, Rihanna has been linked to Drake after her on-off romance with Chris Brown.
