Stop the press.
Rihanna has got a new man, and he. is. fit.
Amongst the news of Rihanna's new single and humanitarian work, she's been spotted (we use 'spotted' in the loosest sense, more like creeped on with a long lens camera) living her absolute best life in a pool in Spain, with some champers and an incredibly beautiful man.
If you haven't seen the photos (who hasn't at this point?!), we're not going to print them here because they're low rent pap shots, but to be fair, all you really need to do is picture this:
Imagine Rihanna, Queen Ri, BadGalRiri, Robyn Fenty, whatever you want to call her, in all her balcony-bikini, curly-haired glory, looking like a kingpin, smoking a fat one, drinking from champagne flutes, in a pool, necking-on (too much Love Island, sorry) with a tanned, pearly-toothed, brunette adonis.
Reports say the snaps were taken on Monday, and we are not really here for that whole telescopic lens thing, but on the other hand, we can't stop thinking about how incredible Rihanna looks and how much fun she seems to be having with her new guy pal.
Go on with your badgal self RiRi.
Even better than the photos themselves though, have been the Twitter reactions. People. Are. Dyingggg. We've rounded up some of our favourite reactions for the reminder that Rihanna is a boss and also a sexual Goddess.
A lot of people were absolutely devastated she was no longer theirs to dream of.
A lot of people have realised that as she's the ultimate trendsetter, we all need to toddle off and find us a hot Spanish dude.
There was also a lot of chat about his perceived ethnicity.
A lot of people were feeling for Drake at this tough time.
People wanted to find out who the eff this shiny-toothed lothario was.
And then the internet revealed he is potentially an ex of powerhouse Naomi Campbell.
Yes, obviously a hashtag started trending.
Rihanna we are sorry some horrible paparazzi invaded your private space, but, at the same time, also not that sorry because wow...
