Oprah Winfrey gives her blessing to Rihanna's reunion with Chris Brown

She is the chat show doyen renowned for her close relationships with the stars.
So no doubt Rihanna will be excited to discover Oprah Winfrey has given her blessing to her rekindled relationship with Chris Brown.
Earlier this year the duo had a heart-to-heart in which the Umbrella singer revealed she still 'loved' the man who hospitalised her in 2009 after a vicious assault.

Blessing: Oprah Winfrey said she would not pass judgement on Rihanna's reunion with Chris Brown

But speaking on Extra, Oprah said she can understand why the pair have decided to get back together, and refused to criticise them
She said: 'I think that if she is prepared to deal with that and is prepared to help him help himself then so be it.

'I have no judgement about it. That's why I can sit there and have such a great time with her because I do all my interviews with no judgement whatsoever.

'If that's how you choose to lead your life, that's really okay.'

Blessing: Oprah has said she has no problem with Rihanna getting back with together with Chris Brown

Driving her wild: The singer even gave her a tour of her native Barbados as part of the exciting interview

And she also speculated that Chris allowed the Rated R favourite to relive the abusive relationship her mother had with her father Ronald, which the pair discussed during their heart to heart.
Rihanna explained that as she got older she realised he was a good person deep down, and that his violent behavior was a product of his struggle to overcome serious personal demons.
Oprah said: 'You know what I loved about that interview is that she came with a big, wide open heart.
'She was in the space of forgiveness. And that she learned a lesson, that she was repeating with Chris Brown exactly what she needed to learn from her father.'

Back to the grind: The hard-working singer was back performing in Azerbaijan on Saturday night

In the candid August episode of Oprah's New Chapter, which aired on the failing OWN Network, the Barbadian beauty had sensationally admitted she still had feeling for Brown, despite his assault conviction.
She said: 'We love each other and we probably always will, and that's not anything that we're going to try to change.'
Oprah's comments came as Chris Brown opened up about his romance with Rihanna in a candid new video.
The singer posted the footage, which he entitled 'The Real Chris Brown', after confirming his split from girlfriend Karrueche Tran.

'Is it possible to love two people at once?' Chris Brown posted a candid video referring to his romance with Rihanna and now ex girlfriend Karrueche Tran

 

Cuddling up: The video shows footage of Rihanna and Chris inside the nightclub

 

And in the video, Brown reveals his anguish over 'loving two people at the same time' as scenes were shown of both the singer with Rihanna, and with and Karrueche.
He says: 'I’m stressed out… when you share history with somebody, then you tend to fall in love with somebody else, it’s kinda difficult.
'Is there such thing as loving two people? I don’t know if that’s possible, but for me, I feel like that.'
But after Brown made his video public, Karreuche was less than impressed with his admission.

She tweeted: 'Wtf is going on? All I’m saying is.. You don’t mess with people’s genuine feelings. You just don’t! Life moves on.. So let’s all.'

Revealing all: Chris shared the video, entitled 'The Real Chris Brown', with his fans

 

Moving on: The video also contained footage of Chris with now ex-girlfriend Karrueche Tran

 

Meanwhile Rihanna made a veiled reference to Brown as she wrote on her Twitter: 'Ain't nobody bidness..... But mine and my baby!'
And friends of the pair are said to be concerned about their potential reconciliation.
Chris and Rihanna just love the drama. They know their fans don't support them getting back together, and that it's a terrible PR move since Chris was convicted of beating Rihanna.
'However, this is what Chris and Rihanna thrive on. There are still major trust issues that Rihanna has with Chris, with good reason, he was hooking up with her while he was still dating Karrueche. Chris and Rihanna back together in any capacity is just a disaster in the making.'
Chris was yesterday seen jetting out of New York to Los Angeles following three consecutive nights of partying with Rihanna.

Revealing his split from Karrueche in a statement on Thursday, Brown said: 'I have decided to be single to focus on my career. I love Karrueche very much but I don't want to see her hurt over my friendship with Rihanna.'
He continued: 'I'd rather be single allowing us to both be happy in our lives.'
Karrueche then posted a tweet which read: 'Bye baby.'
