Chris Martin infatuated with Rihanna post Paltrow divorce?

Martin, who split from Gwyneth Paltrow in March after 10 years of marriage, had immediate chemistry with the 26-year-old singer when they collaborated on their hit, 'Princess of China', in 2012 and allegedly wants to explore his feelings for her further.

Coldplay frontman Chris Martin is reportedly mesmerised by R&B star Rihanna.

Martin, who split from Gwyneth Paltrow in March after 10 years of marriage, had immediate chemistry with the 26-year-old singer when they collaborated on their hit, 'Princess of China', in 2012 and allegedly wants to explore his feelings for her further, reported Contactmusic.

"They plan on spending much more time together. Chris felt suffocated by Gwyn because she's such a perfectionist.

But Rihanna is more down-to-earth and carefree and beautiful. He thinks she's intoxicating," a source said.

The 'Stay' singer, who recently split from Drake, was spotted having dinner with Martin at her favourite restaurant, Giorgio Baldi, in Santa Monica last Sunday.
