Meghan Markle has a ton of super famous friends. Serena Williams, Priyanka Chopra and Amal Clooney are just three of the Duchess of Sussex’s close confidants. Though Meghan does her best to keep her private life, well, private, inevitably some things get leaked to the press. Her blossoming friendship with Rihanna is just one of those things.
Rihanna and Meghan reportedly grew closer when the Umbrella singer relocated to U.K. in order to be closer to her Fenty business and team. “They actually have a lot in common in terms of style and a shared need for total privacy in their lives,” a source told Radar Online. “They’ve bumped into each other a few times before Meghan was super famous and have a few mutual acquaintances on the Hollywood social scene who’ve put them in touch again recently.”
While Meghan and Rihanna are both busy these days, a (secret) hang out between the two is reportedly imminent. “Meghan is with her baby right now but once she’s back from maternity leave hanging out with Rihanna is high on her list,” the source revealed.
It’s actually not surprising that Meghan and Rihanna have hit it off, either. Rihanna bonded with Meghan’s husband, Prince Harry, when he visited Barbados on official royal business back in 2016. His trip took place right after he started dating Meghan.
Who knows…maybe Rihanna will be invited to baby Archie’s christening next month? Maybe she’ll even be named as godmother, though many suspect Serena already has that position locked down.
