Why does this story matter?
In a recent interview with Vogue, Rihanna spoke very highly of Mayers and their relationship. "I certainly took a while to get over how much I know him and how much he knows me, because we also know how much trouble we can land each other in," she said, adding that she prefers "transparency" over "love." So in that light, this rumor assumes significance.
