like from a source.

Rihanna and Rocky first sparked dating rumors in January, shortly after her split from her billionaire ex-boyfriend of three years, Hassan Jameel, was reported. But a source shot down reports that Rocky and Rihanna were in a relationship.
E! was told by a source at that time that “Rihanna is single. She just got out of a long intense relationship with Hassan. She wants to be single and isn’t going to jump into something. She’s hanging out with A$AP Rocky, but she is not dating him.” That source added that yes, "they have a long history, and she's just having fun." Things clearly escalated in the months since although no publication has gotten details on when exactly Rocky and RiRi stopped just being friends having fun and began dating.
