Rihanna and Chris Brown are reportedly rekindling their romance. The former couple are apparently in touch again.

A source told Hollywood Life: "They've totally been talking again. It started out on social media, and then progressed to texting. They swore to keep things platonic — YEAH RIGHT! It's already escalated to sexting. They're addicted to each other. The smallest thing can put them right to where they started."

"Soon they'll be meeting up in hotel rooms. They always LOVED hooking up in hotel rooms," the insider added.

Brown had infamously assaulted the five-time Grammy winner in 2009. He hit her so forcefully that she had major bruising on her face, a split lip, and a bloody nose. However, the two of them still have a strong and complicated bond, despite their public breakup and drama.

Meanwhile, in an interview with Daily Mail, Rihanna's father Ronald Fenty revealed that his daughter and Brown will not be getting back together. He said: "I don't know what their relationship is now. At the basketball, they just said 'hi and hello'. When we was going to the car park he was trying to talk with her but she turned and was talking to somebody else, so he came and talked to me and I had a picture with him. Afterwards Robyn said, 'dad you really taking pictures with he though?'"

"Let her do what she wants to do. This recycling thing don't work for everything, people don't ask me if I could go back with Ms Fenty. Chris is a player, he ain't ready for no one women yet, he ain't ready. He's a party guy," Fenty added.
