6 Stars Who Are Fortunate to Be Friends With Rihanna — Don't Worry, We're Jealous Too

It's no secret that Adele loves Rihanna. In 2015, the "Hello" singer told Rolling Stone that she wished Rihanna was in her squad, and guess what? It happened! In fact, Adele recently wrote a supersweet profile on her pal for Time magazine's annual 100 Most Influential People list.

"I actually can't remember the first time I met Rihanna. I was probably numb from the shock of it. She is one year older than me, but I feel like she's been around forever," Adele wrote. "Whenever I've met her, she's been the most gracious, loyal, and funny goofball of an icon. She glows like when someone's taken a picture with a flash and you're dazed for a few minutes after. But it's also very clear in that glow that she genuinely doesn't give a f*ck; she's fearless and full of all the right kind of attitude to be everything that she is and will be forever."

Rihanna and Leo's relationship may have started off romantically, but it looks like they're just friends now. In fact, Leo recently attended Rihanna's star-studded 30th birthday party. Leo and Rihanna reportedly hooked up on and off from 2015 to 2016, but Rihanna has since moved on with Saudi Arabian billionaire Hassan Jameel, and Leo is currently dating model Camila Morrone.

Rihanna and Cara first crossed paths at a fashion show in 2012 and quickly forged a friendship. While promoting their film, Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets, on the Today show back in July 2017, Cara opened up about what it was like working with her friend, saying, "It was incredible. We've been friends for five years now, and I've always said to her what an incredible actress she is and could be when she actually had the opportunity to."

It's likely that Rihanna first met Lupita during Paris Fashion Week back in 2014, since that's the first time we ever saw them together. However, we also caught them snapping selfies at the 2017 Met Gala, and their friendship was at the center of an imaginary movie script when a photo of them sitting front row at a fashion show made the rounds on Twitter in April 2017.

Rihanna and Katy's friendship dates all the way back to 2009, and it began after the two bonded over a purse. In a previous interview with Elle magazine, Katy revealed that she complimented Rihanna's Valentino bag and that Rihanna offered to send her one. Katy admitted that she thought it was just an empty promise, but when "Valentine's Day came around, I got a little Valentino bag in the mail from her." The "Firework" singer confessed that from that moment forward, she knew Rihanna was "a woman of her word."

Rihanna also expressed similar sentiments about Katy in the interview, saying, "I'll tell you, you do not find people like her in this industry. She's gorgeous, charming, and so unedited, it's scary. That's what intrigued me most when I first met her: she said it like she saw it. I trust people like that."

Despite a reported rift in 2013 when Rihanna briefly got back together with Chris Brown, the two have remained friends and, most recently, linked up at this year's Met Gala.
