They've been linked romantically together numerous times but so far both Rihanna and Drake have brushed off rumours they're dating.

But they're doing little to dispel speculation in their new joint video for Drake's single Take Care as they demonstrate their chemistry.

Drake released the clip yesterday, which showed the pair cosying up as they embrace in a number of intimate clinches.

Just friends?! Rihanna and Drake do little to dispel rumours of a romance in the newly released clip of their track Take Care

Rihanna smokes up the screen with her off shoulder white chunky knit cardigan.

And the pair were happy to get close for the promo as they embraced in a number of intimate cuddles.

Drake sings the track as he strokes Rihanna's bare shoulder while she smoulders and rests her head on his chest.

The clips of the two superstars are interspersed with images of flying birds, snowly landscapes and charging bulls to add to the sexy feel to the video.

And it's not only the clip itself which has caused a stir, re-fuelling murmurs of a relationship between Rihanna and Drake.

The director of the video, Yoann Lemoine, also ignited rumors last month when he described the closeness the stars share.

He told MTV News: 'They seemed to be super close and that's what I wanted for the video. Visually, it's a very humble video. ... It's not crazy.

'It's actually the most indie video I've done my whole life. It's probably the most famous artists, and they were so open to a project that was so minimal.'

Take Care is the duo's first video collaboration since Rihanna's What's My Name? where the pop darling takes a stroll through New York City and embarks on a flirty venture with Drake.

Both artists are currently single, fuelling rumours they could be dating.

However Drake was quick to deny they were anything more than friends during an interview on Radio 1 in January.

He told hip-hop DJ Tim Westwood: 'Me and Rihanna have a great connection, but no, we’re not together.'

However the couple have a history that can't be denied.

In May 2009, soon after Rihanna had split with Chris Brown, the couple were spotted sharing kisses outside a bowling alley following a night out with friends.

Though nothing came of it, the RnB singer later opened up about their brief fling.
She told radio host Angie Martinez: 'We weren't really sure what it was. We just went out - my friends, his friends.

'I definitely was attracted to Drake, but I think it is what it is, like it was what it was.'

She added: 'We didn't want to take it any further. It was at a really fragile time in my life, so I just didn't want to get too serious with anything or anyone at that time.'
