It seems that Rihanna has finally moved on from her relationship with Chris Brown as she was recently spotted canoodling with a former lover in her native Barbados.

The 21-year-old singer had allegedly fallen back in love with Negus Sealy, 24, who was said to have been lending his shoulder to the R&B princess after her alleged beating at the hands of Brown.

“Negus was a shoulder to cry on. He’s a really smart guy-clever, good-looking, very cool,” News of the World quoted a friend as saying.

Rihanna reportedly dated Sealy when she was a teenager and is now rumored to have rekindled the romance.

“All the girls adore him and call him the Love God! He and Rihanna were seeing each other before she hit the big time,” the friend added.

The pair were spotted lapping up the sun on the island as Rihanna slipped into a sexy black bikini and hat.

The source added: “Rihanna and Negus both realised there was still a strong sexual attraction between them and became inseparable. Whenever Rihanna went to the beach or out partying, Negus was always there.

“They were very careful not to be seen too closely together though as they’re trying to keep their relationship secret.”
