Former couple share embrace on night when both won major awards.
LOS ANGELES — It was a big 2012 MTV Video Music Awards night for Chris Brown and Rihanna.
The former couple both won major Moonmen: he took Best Male Video and she grabbed the night’s most coveted, Video of the Year.
But it was a moment that didn’t take place on the broadcast (but wascaptured by one of MTV.com’s “All Access Live” cameras) that got people talking. After the broadcast, cameras cut away from Rihanna once she’d accepted her Video of the Year award for “We Found Love,” she left the stage, and spotted Brown.
Last month, Rihanna sat down with Oprah Winfrey and opened up about her complicated relationship with Brown, saying that he was the “love of my life,” but that they are now working to rekindle their friendship and are still “very close.” She denied, however, that they have become romantic again. “He’s in a relationship of his own. I’m single but we have maintained a very close friendship,” she said. “We’ve just worked on it little-by-little. And it’s not easy.”
