Rihanna has a new man in her life, or rather five of them.

The Grammy winner recently joined Maroon 5 for a new version of the band’s “If I Never See Your Face Again.”

The photo seen here is from the video shoot where Rihanna and Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine had to act out an on-screen romance.

The track hits radio on May 13 and will be available on iTunes next week before being added to re-issued version of Maroon 5’s “It Won’t Be Soon Before Long,” (due out in June) and Rihanna’s own “Good Girl Gone Bad: Reloaded” (dropping in July).
