Usher and Rihanna’s secret tryst at a New York hotel

Rumours of a relationship between R and B superstars Usher and Rihanna have been doing the rounds after they were spotted at the Coachella festival last weekend.

Now, it has emerged that the singers had a secret date at a hotel in New York a couple of days later.

"They had a really good time together last weekend and wanted to see each other again somewhere private straight after,” The Sun quoted a source as saying.

"They've known each other for a long time but it's always been bad timing,” the source said.

"They've had a few long, passionate kisses. There's definitely a spark between them. It would have been too obvious to go somewhere in LA and they were both going back to New York for work commitments," the source added.
