Photos: Rihanna heads for dinner with handsome mystery date

She is currently working on tracks for her eighth album but Rihanna made time in her busy schedule to have dinner with a mystery man during the week.

The 26-year-old singer was spotted at Nobu in New York on Friday where she dined with a tall and handsome man before the duo left together. 

Rihanna was all wrapped up against the chilly New York weather in a large sheepskin jacket, leggings and heavy tan boots and she wore a backwards baseball cap over her long, curly hair. 

However, the mystery man has not been distracting Rihanna from her work and on Wednesday she was spotted heading to a recording studio in Soho.

Posting on Instagram shortly afterwards, Rihanna posted a catchy teaser from one of her new tracks in a short video titled: 'P***kin roun in da studio.' 

She later told fans to watch out for more information, tweeting:  'Any news about R8 will be delivered directly from me.'
