We think it’s safe to say these two are in love. Aww x

This week, it was revealed RiRi got a shark etched on her ankle as a permanent reminder of a date she went on with Drake to an aquarium in Toronto and tattoo artist Keith ‘Bang Bang’ McCurdy shared a photograph on Instagram of his work.

He captioned it: “Camo shark for my dear friend @badgalriri. Also… I just found out you can zoom on IG- enjoy :)”

The sweet tribute comes after Drake admitted he had been "in love” with Rihanna for years at the VMAs on Sunday.

As he presented her with the most prestigous award of the night, he said: ‘She’s someone I’ve been in love with since I was 22 years old. She’s one of my best friends in the world. All my adult life, I’ve looked up to her, even though she’s younger than me. She’s a living, breathing legend in our industry, ladies and gentleman, the recipient of the Michael Jackson Vanguard Award for 2016, Rihanna.’

And, they kissed…

After a thrilling week for the Work hitmaker, Rihanna took to Instagram on Friday to share a video of her acceptance speech and thank everyone - including Naomi Campbell and Mary J Blige - who helped her achieve her success, including the 29-year-old Canadian singer.

Could this be their Happy Every After?

Congratulations Rihanna and Drake!

#VMA2016 night was one that I would never forget!! I have the most incredible people in my life! My family, friends, loved ones, my fans, my team!!! All gifted beautiful spirits! And I’m so grateful that God has precisely and flawlessly arranged our paths to meet at each other! It’s because of you that I was able to reach this moment in my career! And it’s also because of you that I was able to pull off a night like this one, with 4 medley performances, 4 set productions, 4 outfits, 4 hair and makeup looks, and all in 4 days of rehearsal! It was a challenge but I wanted nothing more than to give my fans a true representation of all the colors that I’m made of as an artist! My journey has been filled with growth and people who continue to inspire me! Forever grateful to everyone involved creatively, from choreography all the way to wardrobe and production! @MTV team you were a dream to work with! Thank you to the beautiful @iamnaomicampbell @therealmaryjblige @traceeellisross for your kind words! @champagnepapi your speech was so touching and I love you for that! All in all….Best night ever!!! I’m a lucky girl!!! To God be the Glory! #RiRiVanguard
