Chris Brown Buys a Mansion Near Rihanna’s Home: 5 Friendly Encounters Between the Two

The love affair between pop superstars Rihanna and Chris Brown ended long ago, after news of Brown’s abuse towards Rihanna brutally came to light. Despite the breakup, their names have remained closely linked to each other and fans have watched as they’ve slowly begun what seems to be a quiet and private reunion of sorts. And now news has spread of the latest incident in the never-ending Chris Brown and Rihanna saga. Brown has bought a new bachelor pad. It seems simple enough. But apparently his new home is just a few miles away from Rihanna’s current home.

According to RadarOnline, Brown had been looking to move out of his West Hollywood condo, due to a number of parking disputes that he’d racked up at the place and complaints from neighbors about his rock star lifestyle. Recently, the pop crooner purchased a $1.5 million mansion in Hollywood Hills, replete with three bedrooms, a pool, an elevator and 2,473 square feet of space.

But the most interesting feature is the location. According to “MTV News,” Brown’s new house is just eight miles away from Rihanna’s home. However, the two won’t be residing near each other for too much longer. Rihanna recently put her eight-bedroom Beverly Crest home up for sale, due to “significant water intrusion and moisture issues throughout,” as well as “encroachment issues.”

Well, perhaps before Rihanna moves out, these new neighbors will have a friendly meeting. And if you don’t think these two would actually meet, well, just look at our list of five other friendly encounters between the two. – nicholas robinson
