Singer Rihanna left Barbados this Holiday season in order to spend Christmas Day yesterday with R&B star, Chris Brown, in Los Angeles. 

The pair were spotted laughing and cuddling at the Staples Centre, while watching the LA Lakers take on the New York Knicks.

Rihanna looked stunning in a black midriff-baring outfit, heels, gold choker necklace and red lipstick, and appeared to be in good spirits, as the pair enjoyed the game together. 

The two were among a host of other famous faces in the crowd, which included Snoop Lion and Red Hot Chili Peppers star, Anthony Kiedis. 

Both stars later posted old pictures of themselves together, hinting that they were missing each other. 

In an interview with Oprah Winfrey earlier this year, Rihanna had described Brown as the 'love of my life',  opening up about her complicated feelings for the man who was convicted of assaulting her. 

The singer revealed she had forgiven him for the brutal attack and felt she was the only one who could help him.

She admitted: 'I thought I hated Chris and I realised it was love that was tarnished.

'It looked like hate because it was ugly, it was angry, it was inflamed, it was tainted and I realised that's what it was. I had to forgive him because I cared about him still. And the minute I let go of that, I started living again.'

While she didn't comment on her romantic Christmas on Twitter, she did post what appears to be an old picture of herself with friends, wearing a Santa hat.
