Rumours that Brown and Rihanna would appear together at the MTV VMA's emerged after the singer's recent Oprah interview.

In the brave interview Rihanna broke down crying as she discussed the assault three years ago and claimed she felt protective of her then boyfriend in the aftermath of the incident as fans and fellow stars turned on him.

The 24 year-old also confirmed that they were once again close and that he had regained her trust.

She said: I still love him. I think hes the love of my life. We love each other and we probably always will, she explained.

Thats not anything were gonna try to change. Its not something you can shut off if youve ever been in love. We built a trust again and thats it.
