Rihanna 'misses boyfriend Matt Kemp'

Rihanna has reportedly revealed that she finds her relationship with boyfriend Matt Kemp "difficult" because they spend so much time apart from each other.

The singer said that it isn't easy being away from the baseball player but insisted that she is still "happy".

She told 1Xtra: "It's really difficult because we are so far from each other most of the year and we both have very demanding schedules. It gets difficult at times but it is what it is.

"I'm in love and I'm very happy but we have only been dating for a few months so no wedding for now, we are taking it easy."

The 22-year-old also said that she is grateful for her success.

She explained: "It's really surreal, I always think about it. I used to always look up to Mariah Carey and Beyoncé Knowles and now when we go to the same award shows I'm in the same category, it's really, really cool and is such a good feeling.

"It makes me feel like I have accomplished a lot and I'm moving ahead really quickly in life."
