Must be love on the brain! Rihanna and A$AP Rocky have spent years denying that their relationship is anything but platonic, but things finally changed when the rapper called her “the love of my life” in 2021.

After more than a year of rumors, the “Peso” artist confirmed in a May interview with GQ that he was dating the Fenty Beauty founder and called her “The One.” One month earlier, a source told Us Weekly that the pair were spotted “holding hands and laughing” during a night out in Los Angeles.

“It’s obvious they’re a couple and also are each other’s best friend,” the insider added. “They kid around a lot [and] laugh a lot. They have private date nights together a lot and have a blast hanging out together.”

The duo made their red carpet debut in December 2019 at the Fashion Awards in London, but at the time, Rihanna was fresh off her breakup with ex-boyfriend Hassan Jameel, with whom she was first linked in 2017.

“Rihanna and A$AP are hanging out and hooking up,” a source told Us in February 2020. “They’re having fun and have always had chemistry.”

Fans of the musicians first started hoping for a love connection between the twosome when they teamed up in 2012 for a flirtatious performance at the MTV Video Music Awards and A$AP jumped on a remix of Rihanna’s “Cockiness (Love It).”

A few months later, the New York native paid tribute to his friend with a shoutout in his song “Fashion Killa,” from his January 2013 album, Long. Live. A$AP., but by February, he was linked to model Chanel Iman. The former pair got engaged in April 2014 but split for good in October of that year.

Rihanna, meanwhile, was pursuing a relationship with Drake, whom she dated off and on from 2009 to 2016. The duo collaborated on several songs together — including “Work” from her 2016 album, Anti, and “Too Good” from his 2016 LP, Views — but called it quits for good in October of that year.

“She doesn’t want to be held down,” a source told Us at the time. “They will always be close,” added another insider. “If they end up together, it could happen, but not now.”

It’s apparently not happening in 2021, either, because the Ocean’s 8 star seems to be going strong with A$AP. “A$AP has been very into Rihanna for years,” a source told Us in December 2020, adding that the “Umbrella” singer “kept him in the friend zone” for a while. “Things changed over the summer and they finally hooked up. They’ve been together ever since.”

Joey King has found her prince.

Four months after getting engaged to fiancé Steven Piet, the actress took to TikTok to pay tribute to her future husband with a heartwarming video montage.

“This is my fiancé, Steven,” she wrote on July 1. “I love him with my whole heart, and i wanted to show him off a lil.”

Highlighting some of the couple’s cutest moments together, the video included clips of the two dancing in the car, snow tubing, cuddling with their dogs, laughing over coffee, cooking and more, set to the song “Become a Mountain” by Dan Deacon.

The Kissing Booth star added, “Just felt like making a video showing merely a fraction of how wonderful life is with you.”

The post’s comment section quickly filled up with TikTok users gushing over the pair’s chemistry. “He matches your vibe perfectly, so happy you found your other half,” one user wrote, while another remarked, “You can feel the happiness & love.”

Smash the goblet, throw the rice, buy something off the registry. Congratulations are in order for Lindsay Lohan and Bader Shammas, who are now bonded in holy matrimony. 

As per a report in PageSix on Saturday, the couple were married in an intimate ceremony just hours before the Mean Girls star turned 36. The paper confirmed with a representative that “Lindsay Lohan is married.”

Lohan let the cat out of the bag late Friday when she uploaded an image of herself and her love flashing big smiles. In a caption she wrote “I am the luckiest woman in the world. You found me and knew that I wanted to find happiness and grace, all at the same time. I am stunned that you are my husband. My life and my everything.”

Deploying heart emojis, she added “every woman should feel like this everyday.” Lohan’s younger brother Dakota was among the many influencers in the comments offering congrats. 

Lindsay first showed off her engagement ring in late November last year. At the time she referred to Shammas with the Gertrude Stein-like caption “My love. My life. My family. My future.” The actress met the Kuwait-born financier in Dubai. Though Lohan is keen to tag him in Instagram, his account remains private. The 35-year-old was educated at attended the University of Tampa and University of South Florida, studying mechanical engineering and finance.

In a conversation with Extra in February, Lohan made it clear that her nuptials would be mellow, and she would not be a bridezilla.

“I’m more low-key,” she said. “Even on my birthday, I want to make sure everyone else is good. And then I can be okay. So, I’ll be more like that. I’m looking at destinations. I’ve already started talking to a friend of mine about the dress. But I want to do things right and I want to pace everything.”

That said, she did suggest there would be multiple dresses, as outfit changes are “the best part.”

It’s been a few years since Lohan has appeared in a mainstream film or television show. (Though earlier this year she turned heads in a self-effacing Super Bowl ad co-starring Dennis Rodman, William Shatner and Danny Trejo, and featuring the Tarantino needle-drop “Little Green Bag” by the George Baker Selection.) That may change in a few months however, with a return to rom-coms in Netflix’s hotly anticipated Falling For Christmas.
