Rihanna’s boyfriend A$AP Rocky appears to be a man of big gestures. Weeks after he gushed about how Rihanna was the “love of my life” to GQ, Rocky was filmed literally sweeping Rihanna off her feet and carrying her through New York City’s Lower East Side. TMZ ran the video, which can be viewed below. The footage is a revealing and cute look at their relationship. According to TMZ, Rihanna and Rocky spent their Saturday night into Sunday morning partying downtown. They were spotted holding hands before Rocky lifted Rihanna and carried her down the street. TMZ’s video was taken around 5:30/6 a.m.

Rocky and Rihanna are longtime friends who were first reported to be dating in December. Us Weekly was told by a source that things took a romantic turn in their relationship months before, in the summer. “A$AP has been very into Rihanna for years” and “was always the instigator” in their flirtatious connection, the outlet’s source said. “Things changed over the summer and they finally hooked up. They’ve been together ever since.”
Rihanna and Rocky never publicly revealed their romance’s timeline. But Rocky has been open about how in love with Rihanna he is. Speaking to GQ, Rocky called her “my lady” and “the one” for him. His remarks about RiRi were his first public ones about her since reports of their dating first emerged.
He explained that dating Rihanna instead of playing the field is “so much better. So much better when you got the One. She amounts to probably, like, a million of the other ones. I think when you know, you know. She’s the One.”
He also spoke about the couple’s trip to Barbados over the holidays, where he spent Christmas with her family. Rocky’s father is from Barbados, where Rihanna is from, too. “It was like a homecoming thing,” he said. “It was crazy. I always imagined what it would be like for my dad, before he came to America. And I got to visit those places, and believe it or not, there was something nostalgic about it. It was foreign but familiar.”
