Until we saw these pictures of Rihanna getting cozy with Los Angeles Dodgers baseball player, Matt Kemp, we were hesitant to believe the rumors that these two are dating.

But these pictures of 25-year-old Kemp and 21-year-old Rihanna getting frisky in a hot tub on vacation in Mexico seem to confirm the status of the twosome as a full-fledged couple. Tongues first started wagging when Matt showed up to see Ri-Ri perform on New Year’s Eve in Dubai.

The Daily Mail recalls Kemp’s description of the perfect partner, “That’s the most part, independent. Somebody who can go off and do their own thing and not have to worry about me all the time.” He didn’t happen to mention that he’d like a woman with legs that won’t quit, but it looks like that’s what he got. Bonus.
