Rihanna seemingly finally got over ex Chris Brown and has reportedly started a new romance with former flame Drake.

The singer had been dating Brown on and off since 2008 and had a romance with Drake during a break in 2010.

Now it appears that Rihanna is hoping to rekindle her relationship with rapper Drake and has started communication with him.

A source close to Rihanna told Look magazine: “When she was dating Chris, he banned her from talking to Drake.

"She really missed him in that time - yes, they went out years before but he was also a good friend to her - so calling him was one of the first things she did when she realised she was over Chris."

Drake had apparently been waiting patiently for her, even putting his own love life on hold for a while.

"Drake’s been waiting patiently on the sidelines. Just over a month ago, Drake gave Rihanna an ultimatum.

He told her he needed to move on if she wasn't going to commit," a source close to Drake said

"His love life was paused when Chris and Rihanna reunited, and Drake claims it caused him stress headaches, writer's block and anxiety. He was obviously sick of it, but Rihanna wasn't ready for him. Now Chris and Rihanna are done for good, Drake might finally get his chance."
