Rihanna and A$AP Rocky, her new boyfriend and longtime friend, spent the holidays with her family in Rihanna’s home country of Barbados, and they definitely aren’t hiding their relationship anymore. For the first time since news broke of their dating, the two were photographed kissing on Monday.
Rihanna wore a green dress, and the two were seen out with friends. They went out on the water in a catamaran, enjoyed drinks, and even went jet skiing. You can see more photos of them out here on Daily Mail.

Entertainment Tonight was told on Sunday that Rihanna inviting Rocky to spend the holidays with her family was a big deal. “Spending Christmas together was an obvious step for Rihanna and A$AP,” the source saids. “They’ve known each other for so long as friends and in a work setting, which makes it so easy for them to get along, travel together and be involved in each other’s lives to the full extent. They always have such a good time together and definitely seem in love.”
At the beginning of December, Us Weekly was told by a source that Rocky had wanted to date Rihanna for a long time. “A$AP has been very into Rihanna for years,” the source said, adding he “was always the instigator” in their flirtatious connection. Rihanna “would brush off his advances and kept him in the friend zone” until the summer, the source said.

Entertainment Tonight got the first real detail about their relationship hours after news of their dating broke on November 30. “They have always had amazing chemistry and Rihanna relates to A$AP and it feels natural, easy and fun,” ET’s source said. “She feels very comfortable around him since they’ve known each other for such a long time and also feels a connection to him because his dad is from Barbados.”
