Chris Brown and Rihanna back together?

Three years ago from Feb. 8 will mark the anniversary of Chris Brown's assault of his then-girlfriend Rihanna. Although these artists are to be separated by court order, it may just be that they are secretly back together, at least that's how it seems.

It was a shock to people back in May 2011 when both artists followed each other on Twitter especially after both individuals were very public about their violent break-up. The recent Twitter incident caused quite a stir when both artists reportedly exchanged love messages on the popular social networking site.

According to an article on www.huffingtonpost.com, Brown and Rihanna send each other coded messages. Back in December, Brown tweeted, "Love U more than you know!" Not more than a minute after his tweet, Rihanna tweeted, "I'll always love you #1LOVE."

Us Weekly magazine revealed that the artists "have secretly been hooking up for nearly a year" and that a Rihanna insider admitted that "Rihanna loves to live dangerously, and talking to and hooking up with Chris is all part of that." Of course both Brown and Rihanna have denied the rumors but do state that they are only friends.

Although the re-kindled relationship is only speculation, Brown and Rihanna were recently spotted partying at the same venue Sunday night. TMZ reported that the two ex-lovers were seen at Greystone Manor, a nightclub located in West Hollywood, CA.

They did not leave together, however, and did not have contact with each other. Brown, with his girlfriend Karrueche, left the venue through the front door. Rihanna exited through a side door of the club.

It is not clear if Rihanna and Brown have any intentions of getting back into a relationship. After their public domestic violent experience though, it may be that they won't due to reasons of public backlash.

Despite whether or not they plan to get back together, I think it would be a mistake. No woman should ever have to be in a domestic situation where she feels she might be in dang! er. And as much as I enjoy listening to Brown's music and Rihanna's hit singles, for them to get back together would be a bad idea. Why? Because most do-over relationships that contain domestic violence end up the same way.
