A$AP Rocky confirms he is dating Rihanna

US rapper A$AP Rocky has announced that he is in a relationship with singer Rihanna. 

The rapper described her as "the love of my life" in an interview with GQ.

Rumours over whether the stars were dating began as early as 2013, when the rapper supported Rihanna on her Diamonds World Tour. 

"She amounts to probably, like, a million of the other ones. I think when you know, you know," he said. "She's the one."

The pair both featured in the A$AP Rocky's 2013 video for Fashion Killa; while the rapper provided a guest verse on the remix of Rihanna's 2012 hit Cockiness (I Love It). 

Since becoming an official item, they have been trying to avoid being photographed together by the paparazzi, the article stated.
