We all saw this coming: Rihanna and Chris Brown are going their separate ways for a while.
According to a friend close to the couple, they are “taking a break.”
The source says that the couple are not calling it a absolute breakup, but they have decided to give each other some space. It is said they are planning to see each other soon.
Either of their representatives have not returned any calls about the breakup.
While Rihanna spent time with her friends and celebrated her 21st birthday, Chris Brown stayed in Los Angeles working on his album.
“He’s just putting ideas down for some songs he wrote,” says a source. “He needs to feel like he’s moving forward.”
