Rihanna and Chris Brown have reportedly split. The pair - who were believed to have reunited following Chris’ alleged assault of the “Umbrella” singer last month - have decided to spend time apart to re-evaluate their turbulent relationship.

A source said: “Chris and Rihanna are on opposite coasts right now. They are taking a break.”

Last week, Rihanna flew to New York where she enjoyed a meal out with her mentor Jay-Z and his wife Beyonce Knowles at the Spotted Pig restaurant. She was also spotted having dinner with friends at eatery Da Silvano.

Chris remained in Los Angeles, where he has been working on his new album. A source said: “He’s just putting ideas down for some songs he wrote. He needs to feel like he’s moving forward.”

The info is out on the protective order issued by the court that limits Chris Brown’s interactions with Rihanna, whose given name is Robyn Fenty.

The order filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on Thursday stipulates that Chris must not “harass, strike, threaten, assault (sexually or otherwise), follow, stalk, molest, destroy or damage personal or real property, disturb the peace, keep under surveillance, or block movements of the protected persons named above,” with Robyn Fenty listed as the protected person.

The order expires on March 5, 2012 and also requires Chris to surrender or sell any licensed firearms within 24 hours. The order also prevents the teenage R&B star from attempting to dissuade witnesses from attending a hearing or testifying, or trying to “obtain the addresses or locations of protected persons or their family members, caretakers, or guardian unless good cause exists otherwise.”

Another stipulation of the order states that the protected person — Rihanna — may record any prohibited communications made by the restrained person — Chris.

Rihanna and Brown have reportedly been spending time at Diddy’s mansion on Miami Beach’s Star Island - so is it thanks to him that they’re back together again.

Photographers snapped pictures of Brown riding a Jet Ski and driving a car during the weekend. Rumors that he partied Saturday night with reality TV star Khloe Kardashian were dismissed by Kardashian Sunday, who wrote on her blog that she was with a friend who looked like Brown. According to “E! News,” not only is Brown focusing on his relationship with Rihanna, but he’s also recording new music.

Pictures of Rihanna in Miami have not yet emerged. Rihanna’s dad, Roland Fenty, spoke with People about his daughter’s reported decision to get back together with Brown, noting that though he hasn’t spoken with Rihanna since her birthday last week, “Whatever road she chooses, I’m behind her.”

Chris Brown and Rihanna have apparently reconciled, three weeks after he was accused of beating her on the night of the Grammys.

The 19-year-old Brown and the 21-year-old Rihanna have been spending time together in Miami, at a home Sean Combs owns. “They’re together again. They care for each other,” a source tells People.

“While Chris is reflective and saddened about what happened, he is really happy to be with the woman he loves,” the unnamed source tells the magazine.

Rihanna should have been celebrating her 21st birthday today. Instead, the Barbadian songbird is lying low in Los Angeles and staying strong.

Her camp finally broke radio silence and issued a statement to fans.
“At the request of the authorities, Rihanna is not commenting about the incident involving Chris Brown,” her publicist says in a statement.

“She wants to assure her fans that she remains strong, is doing well, and deeply appreciates the outpouring of support she has received during this difficult time.” It’s the first statement since her rep said Rihanna was “well” in the hours following her alleged altercation with Brown on Feb. 8.
