Rihanna has not only forgiven Chris Brown, the "Talk That Talk" singer has admitted to still being in love with him.
"I'm single but we have maintained a very close friendship since the restraining order has been dropped," Rihanna said in an interview Sunday. "It's not easy."
As previously reported, the Grammy Award winning singer and actress joined Oprah Winfrey for a no-holds-barred interview in Barbados. Open and honest, she also confirmed rumors that she and Brown reconnected in St. Tropez earlier this year.
"We went to a mutual friend's party on a yacht. It's awkward because I still love him," Rihanna said while admitting that her "stomach drops" when she's around him. "I have to maintain this poker face."
While they have reconnected, not just in person but via music on the remixes to their songs "Birthday Cake" and "Turn Up The Music," Rihanna has moved forward but still cares about Brown's well being.
Calling him the "first love" of her life, Rihanna says "I'm not at peace if he is unhappy."
"I truly love him and the main thing for me is that he is at peace," says Rihanna. "I'm not at peace if he is unhappy or he is still lonely. I care. It actually matters that he finds that peace."
While appearing "Oprah's Next Chapter" Rihanna also had a few special moments, including giving her mother a house and visiting her childhood home.

and Oprah as well tbqh
where are her so called 'friends'?
I feel like she's going to get a lot of hate and judgement for this, when it's actually a very common thing amongst DV victims... feeling like you have to "protect" the person YOU need protection FROM. She needs therapy to help her see sense again
I can't judge her, I just feel bad for her because she's in a real messed up place. It'll be a long road, but she'll get through it if she wants to.
Honey...
I feel so much compassion for her & for men and woman who are in similar situations.
hopefully seeing this interview will prompt her to get help or at the very least cause those who care about her to successfully encourage her to do so
you need to re-read the article, skyler.
idk how people can get pissed off at her or ridicule her or make fun of her over this when it's so obvious she just needs help.
if you find yourself actually able to use this sentence... damn.
