Time for another “In The Opposite of Shocking” news dump… Us Weekly is confirming that Rihanna and Matt Kemp are over, a split that has long been rumored. Well, rumored for the past few months, since Kemp and Rihanna have barely been seen together in a while. Bossip had video one month ago in which Matt Kemp seemed to be creeping out on Rihanna with some randoms at a club, and it was widely reported weeks ago on several urban gossip sites that RiRi and Kemp had split quietly. Now, it’s official.
Time for Rihanna to pen a new break-up ballad: After almost a year together, she and Matt Kemp have called it quits, an insider close to the singer tells UsMagazine.com.
“It happened over the last few weeks,” explains the source. “She basically was just over it.”
A rep for Rihanna (she’s currently vacationing with family in her native Barbados) could not be reached for comment.
Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Kemp, 26, helped Rihanna, 22, move on from Chris Brown, who infamously assaulted her in February 2009. The duo were first spotted frolicking together in Cabo San Lucas last January, and slowly opened up about their romance in the spring.
But the “Only Girl” singer has been “so busy,” the insider says. “He just can’t keep up with her crazy travel schedule.”
“Matt’s sick of always following after her like a puppy dog all over the world. He wants something more normal,” the source adds.
Plus, the insider says, “It was never as serious as it looked. It was always just [about] having fun.”
Stilll, back in May, Kemp gushed about his love: “She’s just a fun person. I love to be around her.”
In June, Rihanna similarly said of Kemp: “I’m so happy. I feel really comfortable and it’s so easy. [The relationship] is just my peace. It keeps me sane.”

Yeah, I don’t really think Rihanna or Matt are really mourning this relationship too much. They were a cute couple, they had some fun together, and now it’s done. So… is she already riding Drake or what? That’s the rumor. Allegedly, she and Drizzy already had a fling BEFORE Matt Kemp, so maybe Drake is just her go-to rebound fling. We’ll see.
Whatever….. Honestly I have come to dislike her over the last year. I cant put my finger on it, but I really dont care what goes on in her life.
Yawn
whats my name, whats my name..DRAKEEEE…wear it out…go get you some drake riri
Something about this girl just really irks my nerves and I can’t quite put my finger on it. In any case, they’re probably both better off this way. She can focus on her “career” and he can find a girl who wants the same type of relationship he wants
lol i love that picture of him looking down her shirt. she can do way better
same here to Jonnydeppsgirl & rotan, something very unlikable about her. Hope her 15 minutes are soon over.
@ Johnny’s Girl, Peanut and Roytan.
me too. something about her makes me want to scrub her with soap and give her a turtleneck.
LET’S BE HONEST. THE “UNLIKEABLE” THING ABOUT HER IS THAT SHE’S GORGEOUS, “TALENTED”, YOUNG, AND UNAPOLOGETIC ABOUT IT. I MITE COME OFF THAT WAY TOO IF I WAS HER. :KANYE SHRUGS:
YAWN NONETHELESS THO.
The shape of her fingernails really bothers me. Actually, Rhianna just bothers me.
Young and beautiful sure, I totally agree but hell so I am so I have no reason to be jealous of her if that’s what you’re implying. Talented though??? You’re joking right? This girl is all studio magic and can’t sing live to save her life. After seeing her on x factor, various late night talk shows, and music awards shows there is no way you can convince me this chick is talented
I’m glad I’m not alone in the “Rihanna is annoying camp.”
I like her. Think she can do better.
Im sure this comes as a shock to No one.
I’m meh about her relationships, music, style, whatevs…
He’s very cute. She might regret letting this one go.
I’m sorry. I snorted out my coffee when you said she was talented because that is a straight up joke. She cannot sing, hence all of the vocal software used for her recordings. The ONLY thing she has going for her is she is pretty and knows who to flirt with/screw in the industry.
LOL…thought I was one of the only ones completely over this girl…used to like her but like other posters have said, over the past year she has been really annoying
Enough with the funky hair, she’s so pretty why disguise it like that?
Maybe she should try white guys for a change?
@Roytan…. Ditto.
cant stand how she plays the victim – shes a mess. she needs to go away, far away.
What’s annoying about her is that she got the living mess beaten out of her and didn’t put Chris Brown in jail. Her supporters have always seemed angrier at Brown than she was, and that’s obnoxious to anyone who saw the pic of her that night.

I like the quote unquote “talented” lol!
@ LONDONPARIS
WHAT AN AWESOME POINT!
AND I PUT “TALENTED” IN QUOTES B/C I ALREADY KNEW THAT POINT WAS SUBJECTIVE/QUESTIONABLE. 😀
She’s young, a relationship doesn’t have to be forever. She has been on the road a lot and she has plenty of time to discover what she wants or needs to be happy.
(But I hope she’s done with the orange hair.)
@TO BE OR NOT TO..WHATEVS: I heard her smashsong “umbrella” on the radio, and I thought it was awful.
After I discovered who was her and how she looked like, nothing special, another manufactuered “singer” without voice and a bad hairstylist.
Her last album was forgettable.
Boring.
I think them as couple couldn’t of looked more bored in each others company. As Kaiser said good looking couple but it’s clear it just ran it’s course.
I feel powerful! I read the manual installation of the pool skimmer with terms that did not know English and I did well! 😀
@dre no’20-I dare say if someone beat the shit out of your face,I think you’d be within your rights to ‘play the victim’. With regards to her public image all I personally see is a young woman enjoying her life. If you have such issue with her then restrain from commenting on stories concerning her.
I LOVE RIHANNA
I HOPE SHE FINDS TRUE LOVE SOMEDAY, BUT AGAIN SHE’S ONLY 22, NO RUSH..
I AGREE, MAY SHE NEEDS TO START LOOKING OUTSIDE OF HER RACE
