Rihanna and Chris Brown have prompted rumours of a dramatic reunion, after spending the weekend (25-26Jul09) in the same New York City hotel.
The pair split after Brown was arrested and charged with beating the pop beauty during a fight in February (09).
Last month (Jun09) he was sentenced to a community service order and five years' supervised probation after pleading guilty to the attack.
Rumours of a reunion first surfaced when it was claimed the couple had both asked for a restraining order - banning Brown from going anywhere near his ex - to be lifted.
And speculation will be fuelled by a new report in the New York Post that alleges Brown and Rihanna have spent the weekend together in a Manhattan hotel.
The newspaper alleges they "checked into separate rooms at the Trump International Hotel & Tower on Friday" and "spent the next two days coming and going in separate chauffeured vehicles".
The report comes just days after Brown broke his silence about the bust-up with Rihanna by releasing a two-minute taped apology.
