Rumors have sprouted about a potentially new boyfriend for singer Rihanna, as she was spotted with someone at Kevin Durant's July 4 pool party. Apparently, the "Diamonds" singer was accompanied to the party by her date, Cliff Dixon.

Dixon was a former Western Kentucky University basketball player from 2009 to 2010 season. However, he was removed from the team in the middle of his senior season for violating the rules and regulations.

Aside from that, Dixon also played for the Brazilian team Vivo/Franca Basquete Sau Paulo in 2012. On top of that, he played for the Lake Michigan Admirals the year after.

Dixon was also reported to be flirting with Rihanna on Instagram. Dixon made Rihanna his "#WCW "(Woman Crush Wednesday) on July 3.

Moreover, he posted a "throwback" picture of Rihanna on the same site. He captioned the photo with a coy message that read: "She said they gonna hate no matter what, I said the PJ ready, Where you wanna go for lunch?"

Rihanna and Dixon appeared very intimate inside the club and also while they were leaving. These photos and messages suggest that Cliff and Dixon have a romantic relationship.

Furthermore, Dixon has connections with other celebrities like Kevin Durant and Rapper Big Sean.

Kevin Durant, forward for the Oklahoma City Thunder, hosted the party where Rihanna and Dixon were seen together.

On the other hand, Big Sean, who produced hits like "I Do It" and "So Much More" was also seen at Durant's Fourth of July pool party.

Before Cliff Dixon, Rihanna was in a relationship with rapper Drake. They split in May, and "He has been pretty down since Rihanna dumped him...She really broke his heart.". Aside from Drake, Rihanna dated Chris Brown in 2008. They were together until allegations of Brown physically assaulting Rihanna came up.
