“I like men who are more aggressive but mysterious,” he said. “But I like a man to be very confident. I like to be sure of themselves and to know that you are the man, I am the lady, and the only way to do this work is to play our roles. “I can not really be the man for you.”
He seems to have found several men who fit all these years.
Rihanna dated Chris Brown from 2008 to 2009 and then again from 2012 to 2013
Chris Brown
Rihanna’s relationship with the singer is one of the most memorable.
The couple met in 2005, but did not formally bond together until 2008, when they were seen together at the Grammys and kissing at her 21st birthday party.
But in 2009, fans were shocked when news broke that Chris had hit Rihanna, and leaked police photos showed her with black eyes and bruises. He was arrested and charged with a felony, for which he pleaded guilty and was sentenced to a five-year suspension.
“I needed this wake-up call in my life,” Rihanna later told Marie Claire UK. “I needed a turning point, and God gave it to me. All [of] these terrible things they tell you, it spoils you “.
Rihanna submitted a restraining order at the time, but eventually forgave him, abandoning the restraining order in 2011 and reuniting with him in 2012 – when he described their relationship as “true love” in 2012.
“It took me a long time. I was angry for a long time. I was indignant, I was holding a grudge. I was dark. I was angry. It came out in my music and in my clothes and in my attitude. I did not like this feeling. “It was heavy,” he said.
They divorced again in 2013.
Rihanna had a one-year relationship with LA Dodgers star Matt Kemp for 2010.

While divorcing Chris Brown, Rihanna had a one-year relationship with LA Dodgers star Matt Kemp in 2010.
He talked about the relationship in many interviews, telling Marie Claire UK: “I feel like I’m really smiling this time. Smiles come from within, and it exudes everything I do. People feel that my energy is different. When I smile, they can say that it is pure bliss and not just a cover “.
But after the split in December of that year, he told Vogue: “I just let it go. I never want to depend on a relationship. I think it is a very special thing to find love. It’s beautiful. “Nothing can match it, but I want to make sure I find other things in the life I love – besides love.”

Rihanna and Drake met in 2005 and went out famously over the years as they worked together on songs such as Work, Take Care and What’s My Name.
During this time, Drake repeatedly ran for Rihanna in various news outlets, describing her as his “absolute fantasy.”
In 2016, he introduced her to the VMAs with widespread praise, saying: “We love videos, which change their artistic perspective from year to year. But most of all we love the woman who has not changed from the first day. She is someone I have been in love with since I was 22, she is one of my best friends in the world. Throughout my adult life, I care about her even though she is younger than me. “It’s a living legend in our industry,” he said.
But it seems RiRi was not a fan of building that way, telling Vogue years later that “waiting for that talk was probably the most inconvenient part.” I do not like the many compliments. I do not like to be blown up.
“We do not have friendship now, but we are not enemies. “It’s what it is,” he said.

Rihanna and Leo were rumored to have bonded a few times, first in February 2015 – when they reportedly spent the weekend together on Valentine’s Day.
Then, in 2016, they were seen together at the opening of the Intrigue Night Club in Wynn Las Vegas.
No one confirmed that they had made an appointment.
Rihanna also reportedly dated Travis Scott in 2015

Rihanna also reportedly dated Travis Scott in 2015, with rumors being fueled by Rihanna’s performances at his concerts.
But the relationship seemed to be confirmed by a story in the December 2015 / January 2016 issue of the Complex. Writer Lawrence Schlossman said Travis had missed their interview because he was “focused on Rihanna, the recently rumored love / girlfriend / girlfriend with benefit”.
In 2020, Schlossman told his podcast that he should never reveal that Travis and Rihanna were together.
“It’s because Rihanna says, ‘Don’t tell anyone I’m crashing Travis Scott, please,’” she said.

Hassan Jamel
Rihanna and Saudi businessman Hassan Jameel met in 2017. They were first spotted having dinner together in November of the same year and in 2018 made a trip to Mexico together.
In 2019, he told Interview: “I have started a new relationship and it matters to me. It was like, “I have to find time for that.” Just as I grow my business, I must nurture that too. I will close things for two days, three days at a time.
“We now have the infamous ‘P’ in my diary, which means personal days. This is a new thing.”
She spoke to him again later that year, telling Vogue: “I’ve been in an exclusive relationship for quite some time now, and it’s going very well, so I’m happy.”
But things got worse and the news that they broke up broke out in January 2020.

Although their romantic relationship is only two years old, Rihanna and A $ AP Rocky have known each other for a decade.
In 2012, she appeared in a remix of Rihanna’s song “Cockiness (Love It)” and participated in the Diamonds world tour as her opening work in 2013.
They remained friends all these years, even watching a Louis Vuitton show together in 2018 and the British Fashion Awards in 2019, among other events.
But when Rihanna and Hassan divorced in January 2020, rumors began to spread that she and Rocky were together.
Although they did not confirm that they were together, Rocky teamed up with Rihanna to promote Fenty Skin in August 2020, and they were seen together in December, with reports that they were “inseparable”.
Rocky confirmed the relationship in May 2021, telling GQ that Rihanna is “the love of my life”.
“I think when you know, you know. “She is,” he said.
