Inside Rihanna and A$AP Rocky's 'Natural, Easy' Relationship

Last night, People confirmed that Rihanna is officially off the market now, taken by her longtime friend and now-boyfriend A$AP Rocky. Now, Entertainment Tonight has a little detail about what their relationship is like from a source.

“They have always had amazing chemistry and Rihanna relates to A$AP and it feels natural, easy and fun,” the source said. “She feels very comfortable around him since they’ve known each other for such a long time and also feels a connection to him because his dad is from Barbados.” Rihanna, of course, is from Barbados, and posted about the country’s independence day today.

Rihanna and Rocky first sparked dating rumors in January, shortly after her split from her billionaire ex-boyfriend of three years, Hassan Jameel, was reported. But a source shot down reports that Rocky and Rihanna were in a relationship.

E! was told by a source at that time that “Rihanna is single. She just got out of a long intense relationship with Hassan. She wants to be single and isn’t going to jump into something. She’s hanging out with A$AP Rocky, but she is not dating him.” That source added that yes, “they have a long history, and she’s just having fun.” Things clearly escalated in the months since although no publication has gotten details on when exactly Rocky and RiRi stopped just being friends having fun and began dating.
