Rihanna and Chris Brown To Go Public With Rekindled Relationship

Rihanna and Chris Brown are set to go public with their relationship following the release of Rihanna’s new album according to sources close to the rekindled couple. “She is hitting the studio real hard these days, but talks to Chris every step of the way,” a source told Hollywood Life. “As soon as she finishes up with this album, they will be out. She gotta focus and get that album together and stay paid.”

According to the source, Rihanna is putting the finishing touches on her latest project, titled Unapologetic, and although she hasn’t had much free time, she tries to see Brown as often as possible. “She’s tied up and busy with the album, but she makes time for Chris late nights,” the source continued. “She did one night before – I think, like, Tuesday. I’m not sure but I know she saw him this week.”

Brown has also severed ties from ex Karrueche Tran to avoid any additional drama. “They not talking. He just wants to be done with it and I know Rihanna does too,” the source added. “It’s best for everybody, even Karrueche. The last thing he wants to do is get her caught up again.”

Although Brown and Tran might not be talking, The Sun reports Rihanna has taken a different approach. According another source, the “You Da One” singer and Tran had a two hour long heart-to-heart conversation. “Rihanna called Karrueche for a proper heart-to-heart. They needed to air a few problems,” said the source. “The girls talked for close to two hours. Rih answered all of the questions and Karrueche had a few home truths to tell her.” The Sun also reported that Brown is trying to make amends with Tran in a different way. “Neither Rihanna nor Chris want to make things harder for her than they already are,” the source added. “Chris wants to set her up financially and do right by her – he wants her to stay in his life if possible.”

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
