Brown plead guilty to a felony assault, accepted a plea deal, and in 2013 the two stars briefly rekindled their romance, before finally calling it quits.

She mentioned that after she repaired her relationship with her dad, she could fully forgive Chris for his actions in the past.
Rihanna then went on to say: "We've been working on our friendship again. Now we're very very close friends. We've built a trust again, and that's - we love each other and we probably always will. And that's not something we're ever going to change."

She also spoke about the incident involving Chris and how she felt protective over him after it happened, having worried more about him and his career than herself.
Although they are very close now, they will probably never be in a relationship as Chris is currently in a relationship with Ammika Harris, who is the mother of his child.
Whether she remains single or finds the love of her love, we're just happy that our Queen Riri is surviving and thriving.
