Real Madrid forward Karim Benzema has reportedly started dating the ex-girlfriend of Belgium international Axel Witsel.

The 27-year-old was romantically linked to popstar Rihanna after the pair were spotted partying together in New York and Los Angeles during the summer.

However, it appears that the France international is actually dating Analicia Chaves, who used to be in a relationship with Zenit St Petersburg midfielder Witsel.

According to the Daily Mail, a video has emerged of Benzema miming to Tupac's track 'Hit 'Em Up', which includes the lyrics "you claim to be a player, but I fucked your wife", while embracing Chaves.

The Real Madrid players are currently in Australia for a pre-season tour.
