Rihanna’s love life has been a media obsession for years — which may account for why she’s kept her current relationship so private.
The singer has been dating Saudi billionaire and Toyota heir Hassan Jameel for over two years, according to ELLE. Despite Rihanna’s high celebrity status, the two are rarely, if ever, pictured in public together. But recently, they’ve been spotted out together on two separate outings. That — paired with the news that the singer has, at long last, finally registered a new song called "Private Loving" after a long wait between albums — seems to suggest that things may be getting even more serious between the two.

Business Insider reached out to Jameel’s family-owned company, Abdul Latif Jameel, and to a representative for Rihanna’s company, Fenty, to confirm the status of their relationship. Neither party responded to the request for comment.

Despite the media’s immediate interest in their romance, neither the singer nor businessman officially discussed their relationship in the press at first — though Rihanna’s dad did tell reporters that, while he was aware his daughter had a new boyfriend, he had no clue that boyfriend was a billionaire.

"She told me she had a new boyfriend about a month ago, but I didn’t know who he was. I always tell her, ‘Don’t date an entertainer, don’t date an athlete.’ They are busy going this way and that way, they don’t have any quality time, and they’re good looking guys so women fall all over them," the singer’s father told The Sun in 2017.
"He’s going to have to buckle up, she’s a hard-working girl, she’s very independent and ambitious," he added.
