The couple split up in 2009 after Chris assaulted his then girlfriend but have kept in touch and after Rihanna reached out with a supportive message before his recent probation hearing, Chris texted Rihanna to compliment her on her latest single `Diamonds`.
A source told HollywoodLife.com : "Chris heard the track and fell in love with it and started busting out a few moves of his own when he heard it. He [thinks] it`s a hot?song and [he`s] proud of Rihanna and her music.
"He texted her and was like `Love `Diamonds`. Am I shining enough?` and she replied back saying something like `hell yeah.`"
While Rihanna has stated that in the past that she doesn`t want the incident to hinder Chris` career, he is said to be supportive of her music too.
The source added: "He [wants] her album to do well, and [he`s] supportive of her. He [likes] the art work too?"
Rihanna has also previously confessed to still loving Chris, despite his actions.
She said: "We went to a mutual friend`s party on a yacht.
"It`s awkward because I still love him. My stomach drops and I have to maintain this poker face and not let it get to the outer part of me."
