Superstar and icon, Rihanna, may be linking arms (and lips) with a new man. As this entrepreneur, actress, and music legend is quoted for being “very happy and single”, we always have a soft spot for a #bossbabe like Rihanna finding a quality partner. This time, it’s a name you’ve likely heard before… ASAP Rocky.

While this may appear as a reported ‘new fling’, it’s been a long time coming! The two have been close friends for many years and recently have been seen out and about in public together.
- Rihanna was escorted by ASAP Rocky to The Fashion Awards at Royal Albert Hall in London back in December of last year (2019).
- Shortly thereafter, the two were seen celebrating New Year Eve together at the Edition hotel in New York City.
- As 2020 progressed, so did their public appearances, as Rihanna was spotted supporting her new man at his Yams Day Benefit concert in Brooklyn in mid-January.
ASAP Rocky's Long Time Crush
Sources have reported that ASAP Rocky has had an interest in Rihanna for quite some time. Claiming this superstar was both gorgeous and cool (...I mean who wouldn't think that), he kept his distance romantically to not ruin their close friendship.
As we're guessing the mutual feelings became too strong for both ASAP Rocky and RIhanna, their friendship blossomed into something more.
But to be clear, the definition of their relationship is still unclear, while some are saying they're "hanging out" others are refering to their mutual chemistry as "having fun and hooking up". Regardless of the label, one thing is for certain, the two are not shy about making public apperances together.
Why We're Happy For Rihanna
Taking the world by storm with her music, movies, makeup company, and fashion line, it's almost impossible to figure out how she does everything. As her life is (seemingly) pretty hectic, it's nice to know that Rihanna has a quality man in her life. As Rihanna's dating history is a complicated one, it's interesting to look at her previous flings as her relationship with ASAP Rocky progresses.
Rihanna's Split from Hassan Jameel
Hassan Jameel (31), is Deputy President and Vice Chairman of Saudi Arabia operations of the business Abdul Latif Jameel... and former boyfriend of Rihanna. The two had been reported 'together' for about three years. They recently split due to chaotic schedules and a relationship that was simply drifting apart. Hey! At least it's comforting to know that even billonaires and superstars break up for the same reasons you and your ex do.
What About Drake
Oh yes, how could we forget the iconic 'what was that' relationship between singers Drake and Rihanna. Collaborating on music and life together, the two have had an off and on again relationship with one another since (roughly) 2009. By relationship, we mean both friendship and intimately.
Rihanna at one point claimed the two weren't even friends during her interview with Vogue back in 2018. Luckily (for all us fans), the two have mended their relationship and are currently on good terms.
Like we said, we're so happy for both Rihanna and ASAP Rocky! As we stay tuned into their relationship, check out SheFinds for all the latest in celebrity news.
