Unbelievable! Rihanna opened up about her daughter with Chris Brown – WATCH

Rihanna ended her relationship with Chris Brown for a second time in 2013, but according to insiders the couple have grown close again thanks to his daughter Royalty.

It was revealed in March that the Loyalty singer had fathered a child with close friend Nia Guzman, born in June 2014 and the singer has made a big show of how fatherhood has changed him. But is it enough to tempt Rihana back for a third time?

A source told HollywoodLife that Chris has been sharing pictures of his daughter with the Pour It Up singer and she thinks the little girl is adorable.

They claimed: “He texted her several pictures of himself playing with Royalty and her heart skipped a beat. She was floored by how happy and caring he was in those photographs. She replied back ‘you two are everything. I want to come tuck both of you in for the night,’”

The couple initially dated for a year until he assaulted the singer in 2009 on the way home from a pre-Grammy party. By 2012 rumours the pair were hooking up again began flying and after an emotional interview with Oprah where she admitted to still loving her ex-boyfriend, they took the rekindled romance public.

It didn’t last long though and they were over again by April 2014. The pair appeared to have maintained a close relationship though, with Chris telling Access Hollywood last September that they’d always be close.

“Me and her [Rihanna] are friends. We have a great understanding, there’s no issues. We’ve been friends for almost 10 years and I don’t think that’s ever gonna change.”

In recent weeks RiRi has been linked to both Lewis Hamilton and footballer Karim Benzema, so she appears to be enjoying the single life right now.

Chris spoke about becoming a father to Ryan Seacrest in June and admitted it had changed his life.

“There comes a time when people kind of have to grow up and become more of an adult and take on different responsibilities,” he explained,

“I think this was just a blessing in disguise with my daughter because I get a chance to look at her and teach her the right path and also be a father in my daughter’s life. Just to see a smile on her face – just to see the littlest things – is emotional for me, so I just love that aspect of being able to be a father now.”
