DiCaprio spotted with Rihanna
One day after his night out with Rihanna at the Up&Down nightclub in New York City on Tuesday, Leonardo DiCaprio was spotted cycling around town with a couple of friends. The actor, who recently returned from the Cannes Film Festival in France, kept things casual in a baseball cap, v-neck tee, and shorts and looked quite cheerful, flashing a handsome grin as he rode his bike. Most recently, he has been linked to several women, including Polish model Ela Kawalec and Rihanna, and while Leo has yet to address any of these rumors, his mile-wide smile says it all. – popsugar.com
