Chris Brown assaulted Rihanna in 2009
Rihanna and Chris Brown fuelled reconciliation rumours by partying at the same New York club two nights running, with Chris, 23, sending two bottles of champers to her table.

A source says: 'Everyone in the business assumes they're getting back together and soon it'll be public.'

But only last month Rihanna, 24,was 'freaking out' about claims that Chris might spill all about their affair in a new book - including the sexts they exchanged last year and details about the argument that left Ri-Ri with a battered face and split lip before the 2009 Grammy Awards.

‘It was way too much anger,' she told Esquire magazine in October.
