That December he and Rihanna elegantly posed for a red carpet pic together at the British Fashion Awards. Then days after E! News confirmed in January 2020 that Rihanna and Hassan Jameel were no longer a couple, she was spotted looking chummy with A$AP backstage at the Yams Day Benefit Concert.
But again, longtime friends, right? “They have a long history and she’s just having fun,” a source told E! News at the time, describing the singer as “single.”
That being said, Rihanna also told British Vogue in early 2020, when asked where she pictured herself after another decade, “Ten years? I’ll be 42! I’ll be ancient. I’ll have kids—three or four of ’em.”
And would she be up for starting a family herself if Mr. Right didn’t come along?
“Hell, yeah,” she replied. “I feel like society makes me want to feel like, ‘Oh, you got it wrong…’ They diminish you as a mother if there’s not a dad in your kids’ lives. But the only thing that matters is happiness, that’s the only healthy relationship between a parent and a child. That’s the only thing that can raise a child truly, is love.”
