It comes months after RiRi ended her three-year romance with billionaire businessman Hassan Jameel.

Despite both Rihanna and Hassan keeping quiet about their split at the time, the 'Rude Boy' singer opened up about her life in March this year, during a candid interview with British Vogue.

She said, “Since I turned 32, I’m realizing life is really short.

"You don’t have a lot of time to tolerate s--t, you know? You put so much on your plate. When you’re overwhelmed, you need to start cutting things out. And I’m overwhelmed too much. What’s happening now is that I’m going back to black and white. My grey area is shutting down.”

At the time of publication, RiRi and A$AP Rocky haven't yet publicly spoken about their apparent romance, so we are hoping they give us something to smile about this Christmas in the form of a cute couple's snap. 🙈
