SWOON! RiRi and Drake ‘officially a couple’ after VMA love declaration

Aug 31, 2016

For years fans have watched eagerly as Drake and Rihanna combined their musical talents, got steamy on stage and denied having a romantic relationship.

But now – just days after the Canadian rapper professed his love for RiRi on the VMA stage – it looks like the pair have at long last made it official.

According to Entertainment Tonight, a source close to Rihanna has revealed that the high profile performers are “definitely a couple”.

The source said: “They are fully dating…No one really knows how long they have been ‘official’ – they just decided to let it become a thing instead of hiding it from everyone. They’re happy.”

On Sunday night Drake melted the Internet with a loving speech dedicated to the Diamonds singer as he presented her with the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award.

Describing Rihanna as “one of [his] best friends in the world” the One Dance hitmaker confessed to being in love with the star since he was 22 years old.

The news comes as Rihanna’s ex Chris Brown is arrested at the end off a dramatic police standoff which began with a claim that he had pointed a gun at a woman.
