Chris Brown and Rihanna were once madly in love, but a 2009 assault brought their young romance to a screeching halt. Brown was arrested and charged with felony assault not long after he put the Barbadian superstar in the hospital. He ultimately accepted a plea deal and was sentenced to five years of probation, community labor and domestic violence counseling.
But over the years, Rihanna and Brown have been working on their friendship and are trying to put the past behind them. This week, Oprah Winfrey decided to re-release a 2012 interview with Rihanna for an episode of Oprah Winfrey’s Supersoul Coversations podcast in which RiRi opened up about their special bond.
“We’ve been working on our friendship again,” she said.
“Now we’re very very close friends. We’ve built up 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. That’s not something you can shut off, if you’ve ever been in love.”
She added, “I think he was the love of my life. He was the first love. And I see that he loved me the same way… it’s not even about us being together. I truly love him. So the main thing for me is that he’s at peace. I’m not at peace if he’s a little unhappy, or he’s still lonely.”
