It may not be Facebook official, but it is at least Instagram official — Rihanna and Chris Brown have reunited.

Rihanna posted a photo of the couple sharing an intimate embrace to Instagram with the caption “i dont wanna leave!!! Killed it tonight baby!!!”

The young pop stars, who were embroiled in a 2009 domestic dispute that made headlines, have been fending off rumors about their reconciliation for weeks, especially after Chris Brown ended his on and off relationship with model Karrueche Tran. Though, recently, RiRi has been more open about the fact that she is spending time with Brown, tweeting a photo just days ago of the him shirtless and passed out face-down in a bed.

The image set off a spur of comments from fans and critics alike after Rihanna seemed to confirm what everyone had already suspected.

“It takes the average woman seven times to leave an abusive relationship for good so this is normal,” one Instagram user commented.

“Aww too cute, happy for y’all!!!!” another user said.

Rihanna tagged an account in her caption of her most recent Instagram photo that appears to be Chris Brown’s new Twitter account after he abruptly deactivated his original account following a tweet war with comedian Jenny Johnson.
