Rihanna and Chris Brown have reportedly been hooking up for nearly a year, according to Us Weekly.

The former couple split up in 2009 following Brown’s assault on Rihanna the night before the Grammys.

R&B singer Brown was sentenced to six months of community service, one year of domestic violence counselling and five years probation. The Judge also issued a five year restraining order which means Brown has to stay 10 yards away from Rihanna at a public event and 50 yards away from her at all other times.

An insider told the magazine that 23-year-old Rihanna and Brown “meet up very casually.”

“She comes to see him anytime she’s in L.A.”

“Rihanna loves to live dangerously, and talking to and hooking up with Chris is all part of that,” said another source.

22-year-old Brown has a girlfriend, model Karrueche Tran.

An insider told Us Weekly that Tran knows Brown is cheating on her with the Umbrella singer, but wants to hold on to him anyway.

“Karrueche thinks Chris' studio is where most of the hookups have taken place."

The insider added that Tran “won’t give him up for a few discretions [sic].”

However, Brown’s rep told Us “He and Rihanna are just friends. He’s not cheating.”
