BELIEVE in Chris Brown and Rihanna

Chris Brown and Rihanna continue to play the “we’re just friends” card but have been spotted out and about together in New York City the last few days.

Today, the pair were spotted near their Manhattan hotel. Last night, Chris came out to support Rihanna at her concert held at the Highline Ballroom. The concert helped fund the BELIEVE Foundation, which Rihanna created in 2006 to “ensure the health and well-being of our future leaders.” BELIEVE is also “committed to creating change in the lives of our youth by providing, educational, financial, social and medical support when and wherever it is needed.” (FYI: Rihanna’s tee reads “Eye Need Flash Nerds.”)

American Idol champ Jordin Sparks recently confirmed Chris and RiRi’s relationship status to UK’s Young Voices:

Are Chris Brown and Rihanna dating? Yeah, they are. It was really cool because I walked on the set and she was sitting there with Chris Brown and I was like I can’t believe she’s here. She came and she told me that she loved “No Air”, and that it was one of her favourite songs. It was really cool hearing that from one of my peers. She just wanted to support him.

Did it feel weird doing intimate scenes with Chris Brown with his girlfriend watching you? (laughs) It was hard at first, but then I said, ‘you know what? I have to work!’ It had to look like I was in love with him, so I had to do it. Hopefully she won’t kill me!! (laughs)
