Rihanna has a new boyfriend. RiRi is rumored to be dating 90210 star Tristan Wilds. The romance seems to be in the very early phases. Those close to the singer didn’t even know the status of her love life until Wilds showed up to a wrap party she held for close friends before heading out on tour. (Photos of Tristan below)

As a spy for The New York Daily News says:

“No one knew why Tristan was there initially, because it was not an industry party — it was very intimate,” says a fellow guest. “But everyone quickly realized they weren’t meeting for the first time, because they were openly affectionate for everyone to see.”

The two are planning on keeping in touch while RiRi tours. They’ll be doing the whole Skype, ichat thing to stay in contact.
