The 22-year-old singer confirmed she was dating the baseball player earlier this month, and has now admitted their relationship is more serious than she let on. Rihanna had claimed her romance with Matt was just "fun", but she has now says they are head over heels in love.
"Oui, oui, oui... it`s love," Rihanna told British newspaper The Daily Mirror backstage at her concert at the Bercy Arena in Paris last night. "I`m really happy right now."
Rihanna loves being in France, but wishes Matt was with her. The couple have been talking on the internet every night, but Rihanna still wishes they could be "hook up properly", lamenting that it will probably be seven weeks before they see each other.
"It`s an amazing city. I love it. It would have been so cool if he was here," she said. "I was hoping he would be able to come to London but he`s working. And I`m touring and shooting videos for my next single so it`s going to be seven weeks before I see him again.
"It`ll probably be when I get back to America that we can hook up properly. We have to make do with Skype and phone, but I miss him. And this is the most romantic town. I can`t wait to see him again."
Rihanna put on a raunchy show last night, giving no indication that she was nursing an injured rib. The star was rushed to hospital after a show in Zurich, Switzerland, last week after she experienced pain in her chest.
She was later revealed to have fractured a rib, and is now travelling with a doctor to ensure she recovers completely from the injury.
"One thing knocked something else out and it went on from there. I went to hospital just to check it and it`s OK," she explained to British newspaper The Sun. "I have a doctor on tour now to watch out for me. But I`m fine. It`s just an ache.
