It has been years since Rihanna and Chris Brown have been “on” in their on-and-off relationship. But word is he still has not given up hope that they could get back together for good.

One insider told Hollywood Life recently that Brown couldn’t help but gush about his ex-girlfriend as she donned the pink carpet of the Billboard Music Awards last month.

“Chris thinks Ri looked absolutely stunning at the [BBMAs], but that ring on her finger was a showstopper!”

The now infamous ring was once rumored to be given to her by her rumored boyfriend, Drake. But it’s safe to say that is probably false considering he was just spotted coupled up with model Hailey Baldwin on Memorial Day weekend.

As for Brown, he thought the piece of bling was “elegant and classy” and that Rihanna “carried herself” in an “extremely regal” way.

Apparently Brown is convinced that Rihanna could be the type of woman he is looking for in the long run.

“She is wifey material and one day she’s going to marry the man of her dreams. It could be Chris too. No one has ever loved him, made him feel more special, or forgiven him for his past mistakes the way Ri has.”

Still, Rihanna has been spotted out and about with not only Drake but also Oscar award winning actor Leonardo DiCaprio too. It’s not confirmed just yet if she is serious with either of them. So Brown could have a chance after all.
