Rihanna And ASAP Rocky Are Dating: Source
Rihanna and ASAP Rocky's dating rumors began floating online several months ago, but the pair neither confirmed nor denied those speculations. Now, a source has confirmed that the longtime friends are actually dating.
The confirmation comes after the New York Post's Page Six reported that the pair was spotted grabbing dinner with friends in New York-based Beatrice Inn. The couple, both 32, sparked romance rumors following the Barbadian singer's split from her boyfriend of three years, Saudi businessman Hassan Jameel.
Earlier this year, The Sun reported that Rihanna was dating ASAP Rocky, but an insider told E! that she wasn't seeing anyone at the time. The "Everyday" rapper appeared in Rihanna's Fenty Skin campaign in July, and they did several interviews together, promoting their collaboration.
In videos for Vogue and GQ featuring RiRi and ASAP, the pair answered questions such as what do they first notice in people how they care for their skin. Rihanna jokingly replied that her skin type is as complicated as men were when ASAP Rocky asked about her skin type. She went on to say that while women are often touted as complicated, it is men who are complex.
Rihanna then asked the rapper what his skin type was, and he replied, "handsome." Nearly one year ago, the musicians sparked romance rumors when they appeared on the red carpet at the Fashion Awards at Royal Albert Hall in London together. They also celebrated New Year's Eve together in New York City, in the Edition Hotel.
The “Umbrella” singer supported ASAP at his Yams Day Benefit concert, which was held in Brooklyn. She was spotted hanging out with ex-boyfriend Drake there. A source told Us Weekly that ASAP always thought Rihanna was gorgeous and cool but refrained from crossing the line because they were very close friends.
The Ocean’s 8 actress was previously linked to Chris Brown, who was found guilty of assaulting her in 2009. She then had an on and off relationship with Drake, 34, until 2016. ASAP was linked to model Kendall Jenner from 2016 to 2017.
Rihanna and ASAP Rocky have been friends for quite some time now. The rapper did an opening act for the U.S. dates of Rihanna's Diamonds World Tour back in 2013. The rapper was even featured in her track called "Cockiness."
In 2018, the pair was spotted in Paris, where they were attending a Louis Vuitton fashion show. What do you think about ASAP Rocky and Rihanna's relationship? Share your thoughts in the comments section below.
