Rihanna, Brown planning to go public

The couple, who has been spotted kissing in public in recent weeks, will apparently confirm their rekindled romance after Rihanna releases her new album ‘Unapologetic’ on November 19, Digital Spy reported.

The duo split in 2009 after Brown assaulted her. He was later convicted of the crime and sentenced to the community service.

"She's hitting the studio real hard these days, but talks to Chris every step of the way," said a source.

"As soon as she finishes up with the album, they will be out. She gotta focus and get that album together and stay paid," added the source.

Brown confirmed earlier this month that he had split from girlfriend Karrueche Tran because of his "renewed friendship" with Rihanna.

Meanwhile, Brown is said to have cut off contact with Tran as he feels both of them need to move on.

"They (are) not talking. Ain't no shade though, he just wants to be done with it and I know Rihanna does too. It's best for everybody, even Karrueche. The last thing he wants to do is get her caught up again," a source told Hollywood Life.
