I still remember the excitement in 2017 when we learned that Rihanna had a man. It was such big news that #RihannaHasAMan was trending on Twitter and Rihanna-stan MSNBC journalist Chris Hayes was obsessively trying to find out the guy’s identity. In the past two years, there are occasional updates on Rihanna’s relationship with Hassan Jameel, a Saudi billionaire who seems to treat her like a princess. They’re either breaking up constantly or very lowkey, or a mix of everything. I don’t know if they’ve really been together all this time, but I do know that they were photographed in the same space this week. Apparently, they were in Capri together. That’s Hassan in the white hat. He’s tall and cute and hell, I would. I would in Capri, on a yacht.
There are also photos of Rihanna and Hassan cuddled up together on a yacht, which I completely understand, because, again, yacht and Italy. The rumor is that some of Hassan’s family members are on vacation with them too. Hm. Is this guy the one? I feel like they really don’t spend a lot of time together, but maybe they do and we just genuinely don’t see them.
Meanwhile, this was also the week when Forbes declared Rihanna to be the richest woman in music today. She’s richer than Beyonce, richer than Madonna (how??), richer than Celine Dion. Her income bump didn’t come from music though: Rihanna’s now worth $600 million mostly because of Fenty Beauty and her lucrative new fashion line with LVMH. That being said, Forbes estimates that Rihanna’s net worth is only slightly higher than Madonna’s – by their count, Madonna is worth about $570 million.

She has plenty of my money. I love Fenty products.
Kaiser. They live in London together. She moved to London for her businesses yes but also to be closer to him. Us stans kno….They’ve been together the entire time, just been very lowkey. Plus he has the resources to afford them the deep privacy she prefers nowadays. She’s never seemed happier and I think they will get married (and are probably engaged).
WE SHARE THE SAME AIR?
WTF? *freaks out*
They are living together in London. It seems serious.
They’ve been together since late 2016. There are pictures of them celebrating NYE in London.
All those reports of them breaking up are pure fiction.
They’re just lowkey and while everyone is speculating, they are living their best life in London, where Rihanna moved to more than a year ago.
I think they’ve been together this whole time. She’s just very low key about this relationship, I like that. (They do get papped once or twice, but even that’s low key somehow). I saw somewhere but I’m not sure where or how reliable it is, that she’s been living in London the last few years, isn’t he based there? I like Rihanna, and what she’s done with Fenty beauty and now fashion line is impressive.
ETA I see the London thing has been confirmed above, stans always know everything lol.
I’m happy for her!
Me too !
I must confess I’m mega envious of her. He is super hot and my type to a “T”.
P.S.: I still remember when Naomi Campbell went berserk after he broke up with her.
AHHH! You see, I didn’t know he’d been with Naomi Campbell! Everyone’s comments are so interesting, thanks!
Get it RiRi.
Came here to say exactly this!
I came to exactly that too. Get it RhiRhi!!!!
🙂 Crossed fingers
Ditto!
im rooting for them… i think their engaged….
i really always kinda of like how rihanna and beyonce never confirm fully your feels on things…like they just living and going thru life and if you feel a rumor is true…then thats cool LOL
i kinda took this approach with my fiance like i didnt post pictures of him for the 1st 8 months and even still i’ve archived a lot of pictures of him on ig. We live together and do things together but also spend time apart hanging with friends and doing separate things…. and people really dont know how long weve been together and it kills them about it all….like friends or acquaintances think they know our story and we dont correct them hahahahha
Yay for Rhianna! I am glad she is finally with a man that seems to make her happy and she’s living her best life!
Chris Brown who?
Yay x2! So glad she’s over Drake too
Agreed!
We need more pictures of him, this one does not do him justice. He is so fine. Go RiRi
Agree (re: more pictures of him).
Disagree: “Go RiRi”. It should be “Go Eve” (seriously, I’d wreck that).
My God he is so hot. She seems really happy with him!
Yea this is the first I’m seeing of him, he is HOT! Happy for them.
I like Rihannah. But here’s the thing. I could be wrong, but I think this is the same man who dated Naomi Campbell, and Naomi introduced him to her “friend, Rhiannah”, and Rhiannah turned around and stabbed Naomi in the back, and took her man. Yes, he’s just as much to blame as Rhiannha. It doesn’t matter; when you pull dirty, lowdown, stuff like this, it ALWAYS comes back to you, and it’s never good. Just sayin’.
Meh. They weren’t married and he obviously wasn’t committed to Naomi if he left her so easily for Rihanna. Love can hit you unexpectedly.
There’s no proof that Naomi was ever dating him. People say this because there are pics of them together and it seems Naomi was at least around when they were introduced or introduced them herself. Thing is I recall Navy pulling up pics and tabloid stories of Naomi with another man around the same time, her usual type. Even recently Naomi has dropped Rihanna’s name a couple of times so there doesn’t seem to be bad blood there. Seems like people just want the drama.
He dated Naomi Campbell around 2016.
So I don’t think there was an overlap with Rihanna. Back when he (Hassan) was seen with Campbell, Rihanna was having her on and off relantionship with Drake.
And before Campbell he was married to an art critic called Lina Lazaar.
There’s was definitely some overlap between Rihanna and Naomi. I think there was a video of Naomi introducing them, it’s somewhere on IG. And two ultra famous women back to back from an incompatible culture makes me side eye him.
People are applauding, but I don’t think this will end up how people think it will be.
@Molls, please stop using terms like ‘incompatible culture,’ which are plain racist. You can’t make sweeping generalizations on how this individual Muslim, Saudi, Arab man is going to be behave, so you actually have no idea what makes him compatible with a famous woman like Rihanna (maybe they both love mac and cheese? Because Rihanna brags about making a killer mac). I side eye men who are players, because it’s just the plain ass patriarchy. Men are like this everywhere, so make the patriarchy your target. What’s going on in the States right now with the anti choice laws is proof of that. Let’s not making sweeping comments about other societies, thanks.
