The Barbadian beauty, 25, opened up in the April issue of Elle UK about how Brown inspired her new single “Stay,” and why she intends to keep him in her life, no matter what anyone else thinks.

“‘Stay’ is a story about having love that close and wanting it to last forever,” the “Diamonds” singer explained. “You don’t have that feeling with everybody so when you have it you don’t want to let go of it. I would definitely say that he is the one I have that kind of relationship with,” she said of Brown.

Though Brown, 23, and Rihanna have had a rocky past, the two rekindled their romance last year. Even with Brown’s recent outbursts, including a spat over a parking lot space with Frank Ocean, Rihanna feels that the two have wiped the slate clean from their violent past.

“What we want [is] a great friendship that’s unbreakable,” the star noted. “Now that we’re adults we can do this right. We got a fresh start and I’m thankful for that.”

Still, the star isn’t completely insulated from the pressures of fame and the criticism Brown has attracted in the media. She spoke to the magazine about the tattoo of a gun she had inked on her ankle just days after Brown and ex-boyfriend Drake got into a scuffle at a New York City nightclub.

“Everybody wanted to know what was happening in my life. Is she a drug addict? No. Is she an alcoholic? No. Is she a victim? No,” the songstress said. “That’s when I got the gun. It was a symbol of strength. I’ll never be a victim.”

Here they are, ladies and gentleman…. The two ELLE April Rihanna covers you’ve been waiting for.

You’ve been clamouring to see the pictures since we first unveiled Rihanna as our newest cover star two weeks ago. And we loved the shoot so much we decided to release two special covers onto newsstands on Wednesday, 6 March.

Shot in Paris by Mariano Vivanco, Rihanna shows off pieces from her spring/summer 2013 collection for River Island on both: a black, zip-through River Island skirt paired with a Louis Vuitton monochrome top on one and on the other, a striped bra from the same collection peeking out from Prada’s silk and satin stole.

Incredible fashion aside, you won’t want to miss Ri’s best ever interview (if we do say so ourselves), with Mark Allen, who spent a day – and night – with her in Paris, as well as a week on her now-infamous 777 plane trip.

Stick with ELLEUK.COM for more unmissable news and pics from the shoot to come – plus, we’ll be revealing extracts from the cover interview this weekend.

Rihanna is known for her racy phooshoots. Most of the time just in her skin. But we can’t blame her, the singer once revealed that she felt comfortable being in just her skin.

We have had many great shoots like that, which includes the Esquire UK shoot along with her album cover for ‘Unapologetic’. And now, GQ is all up and ready to be added to the list, as she covers GQ Men Of The Year issue with nothing but her hands covering her modesty. And a jacket, on her shoulders ofcourse.

Rihanna shared the cover photo on Instagram, with the caption “GQ’s man of the year?! When will your fave? #histoRih #GQ”, and she is not lying by saying history, because Rihanna is the first and only woman to cover a GQ Men Of The Year issue. And we can assure that men all around the world would be pleased to see this one very hot woman on the cover!

GQ teased the Navy by tweeting:

We see you, #RihannaNavy. There’s more where that came from. Stay tuned. http://gqm.ag/RTv6Vt  #GQMOTY
