A$AP Rocky has shared heartfelt insights into his relationship with Rihanna, revealing the moment he believes she fell for him during a recent interview with W magazine. Speaking from the Mercer Hotel in New York City, he reminisced about the filming of his music video for “Fashion Killa,” which took place over a decade ago.
In the interview, published on October 8th, Rocky stated, “This is very special because this is the first place she fell in love with me.” He fondly recalled that the music video, directed by the late Virgil Abloh, featured the iconic couch where they shared their first scene.
Reflecting on his own feelings, Rocky admitted he knew he had found love with Rihanna early on, saying, “I knew from when we were younger—we both did. I think so, it was only right when we got older we just kind of reconnected.”
The couple, who began dating in 2019, have a long history of friendship that laid the groundwork for their romantic relationship. Rihanna previously shared that their bond meant they were aware of what they were getting into. “We knew what we were capable of and the trouble we could bring to each other’s lives. We can make or break each other’s hearts,” she explained.
As they navigated their relationship with caution, Rihanna emphasized, “I just let whatever was supposed to happen happen. It’s either going to die or blossom, but I’m going to let it decide itself.”
Their love story illustrates a deep connection that has flourished from friendship into a beautiful family, showcasing the power of understanding and shared history.
