She has been dating boyfriend Hassan Jameel for a couple of years
Rihanna was first spotted with her boyfriend Hassan Jameel in 2017 and the two have been going strong ever since.
Hassan is a Saudi Arabian business man and the deputy president and vice chairman of his family’s charitable company that organizes programs that focus on “the social, cultural, educational, and economic development of individuals and communities in the Middle East region and beyond,” according to its official website.

Jameel’s family also owns Abdul Latif Jameel, a distribution company for Toyota Motors in Saudi Arabia and other Middle Eastern countries. It looks like should they get pregnant, the billionaire couple could certainly afford to have as many kids as they want.
