Congratulations (!) To the happy couple (?) – The Cut

For months, the evidence has been mounting: Rihanna and A $ AP Rocky are dating, they say. First, it was the hotel room they reportedly shared earlier this year, the day after Rihanna split from her billionaire boyfriend. Then it was just spending a lot of time together – although Rihanna and A $ AP Rocky are longtime friends, public dinners and walks in New York City didn’t necessarily scream romance. But anonymous, the sources continued to insist these two are “inseparable”, and Rihanna “seems very happy to be dating A $ AP”, who would have “been very [her] for years. “Everything is plausible, especially the latter, but where’s the hard evidence ??

Hm, good. What does a warm Christmas with Rihanna’s family strike you?

According to Entertainment Tonight, the alleged couple spent the holidays in Barbados, where Rihanna was born – an “obvious step” in their relationship, according to ANDsource.

“They have known each other for a long time as friends and in the workplace, which allows them to get along, travel together and become fully involved in each other’s lives,” the source added. “They always have such a great time together and definitely seem to be in love.”

And not to dwell on the fact or anything, but these two have been friends for a long time – they collaborated together for musical purposes, and also for the purposes of a Fenty Skin campaign. According to a previous ET report, this “trust [in] each other as friends above all… made their romantic relationship very strong. While neither Rihanna nor A $ AP Rocky have personally confirmed the rumors in public, bringing a new partner home for the holidays would indeed send a message. So! Congratulations to the happy couple perhaps, and our deepest condolences to Drake and his sex watch.
