Rihanna speaks about Chris Brown, falling in love, heartache and more

Rihanna has shown her sensitive side in her latest interview with Harper’s Bazaar magazine. The singer opened up about her heartache following her split from Chris Brown in 2009. After a domestic violence incident, Chris was charged with felony assault and the pair went their separate ways. But the 24-year-old admitted that the pain of a broken heart has hindered her from opening up in relationships.

She told the fashion magazine: ‘When I was in love, I fell so hard. I was really, really, really in love. The way it made me feel was priceless. And in a blink of an eye my whole life changed. Everything that I knew was different. I never thought I’d feel that pain in my life.’ She added: ‘I’m afraid of feeling that again.’ Rihanna also admitted that she is hoping to gain some weight. She confessed: ‘I don’t know if there’s something going on with my body right now, but I’m eating everything in life! ‘I miss my a**. It just went away! I need a butt. I have an idea of one, but it’s not living up to its full potential right now.’

It has been a trying week for the Barbadian singer as her beloved grandmother Dolly passed away. She was in New York City to attend a wake for her late grandmother and posted a tribute to Dolly on her Twitter page, writing: ‘Words can’t explain, the essence of her beauty.’
