Rihanna and Chris Brown Back Together

Pop star Rihanna is said to be reunited with R&B singer and boyfriend Chris Brown.Less than three weeks after the February 7, 2009 assault that left a shocking image of a battered, beat-up Rihanna, via a leaked police photo, People magazine quotes unnamed sources that claim the two music stars have reunited and are staying at one of the homes of hip hop mogul Sean Diddy Combs.

Says the quoted source: “They’re together again. They care for each other…While Chris is reflective and saddened about what happened, he is really happy to be with the woman he loves.”

TMZ has confirmed the story.Previously, People had reported that Chris Brown, 19, had called Rihanna on her 21st birthday, on February 20. According to a source, “He called to wish her happy birthday. They’ve reached out to each other. It’s been mutual.”

Both singers were at the height of their popularity, Chris Brown with hits such as “Run It!” and “Forever” and Rihanna with “Umbrella” and “Don’t Stop the Music.” Their appearances at the 2009 Grammy Awards were canceled and news broke that day of the Chris Brown arrest (he was later released on $50,000 bond) and the Rihanna beating that shocked the music world.

Since then, with the exception of the haunting domestic violence photo of the battered Rihanna, the singer had been keeping out of sight, though not out of the lens of the paparazzi who snapped photos of her in Mexico.Los Angeles prosecutors have not yet decided whether to file formal charges against Brown and there has been no comment from the reps of either of the stars.
