Rihanna Is Very Happy Dating ASAP Rocky And They Have Been Inseparable: Source
With the temperature dropping in New York City, Rihanna's relationship with her boyfriend ASAP Rocky seems to be heating up. The 32-year-old songstress is reportedly happy with her new relationship, and they have been inseparable.
The pair decided to go for a walk together around the city on Dec. 2 and was spotted enjoying a dinner date with friends at N.Y.C.'s Beatrice Inn just a few days ago. Rihanna and ASAP Rock have been inseparable the past few weeks, a source told PEOPLE. Although it is a new relationship, the insider claims they both seem very into it.
PEOPLE confirmed that Rihanna and rapper ASAP Rock, also 32, were an item. The news confirmed rumors about their romance, which sparked after the "Umbrella" singer's split from her boyfriend of three years, Saudi businessman Hassan Jameel in Jan.
Rihanna and Jameel called it quits since their lives were too different, and maintaining a relationship was quite challenging for the duo, according to an insider. It is worth mentioning here that ASAP's lifestyle is quite similar to Rihanna's, and they have a lot in common. As a result, they always seem to have a great time together.
Another source told Entertainment Tonight on Dec. 1 that Rihanna feels comfortable around her new beau since they have known each other for quite some time now. Moreover, she feels a connection with the rapper because his dad is from Barbados, and Rihanna is from the island country in the Caribbean.
Their love for music brought Rihanna and ASAP Rocky closer in 2012 when they teamed up for Rihanna's track "Cockiness (Love It)." They also did tours together in 2013, and that same year, the "Rude Boy" singer served as ASAP's inspiration in his music video, "Fashion Killa." They recently appeared in Rihanna's Fenty Skin campaign.
A source told Us Weekly that ASAP has been into his longtime friend for years, and he was always the initiator of their flirty vibe. However, Rihanna never encouraged his advances and kept him in the friend zone until recently, when things took a romantic turn earlier this year.
ASAP Rocky is a generous guy, and Rihanna has a reputation for being generous as well. While they have remained tight-lipped about their relationship, a source claims Rihanna is very happy dating the rapper.
