Rihanna is so protective of Chris – she’s even willing to keep quiet about their status. Only HollywoodLife.com has the EXCLUSIVE details about her intense new interview!

Rihanna and Chris Brown have a crazy romance, but we were SHOCKED to hear her deny it during a Nov. 8 Facebook chat with Andy Cohen. But now we know the REAL reason she was coy about their love!

Rihanna, 24, is looking out for Chris, 23, by keeping their love life on the low, a source close to Rihanna tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY.

“It’s her personal business,” our source said. “That’s her space, and Chris is someone who is close to heart. She loves him so much, and feels like she has to protect him. People in her circle know what’s really going on, and she wants to keep it that way for now and let everybody else play the guessing game.”

THE TRUTH BEHIND THEIR NEW DUET

This definitely is the reasoning behind their duet “Nobodies Business,” our source reveals.

“Rihanna says what she wants to, and like the song says, it ain’t “Nobody’s Business,’” our source said. “When she’s ready to be out there and tell people what time it really is, then she will. And that will be posted on Twitter, knowing her. She knows what time it is with everyone trying to interview her, all they want to know about is what’s up with her and Chris. They be on her jock trying to promote the album, but she know what they really want — and she ain’t about to give it to them. She ain’t about to let people force her hand and make her say some something she don’t want to. She will do this or make any kind of announcement like that when she feels like it. It’s that simple.”
