10:26 AM PT -- Amina Muaddi just addressed the rumors. She said, "I've always believed that an unfounded lie spread on social media doesn't deserve any response or clarification, especially one that is so vile. I initially assumed that this fake gossip - fabricated with such malicious intent - would not be taken seriously."
"However in the last 24h I've been reminded that we live in a society that is so quick to speak on topics regardless of factual basis and that nothing is off limits. Not even during what should be one of the most beautiful and celebrated times in one's life."
"Therefore I have to speak up as this is not only directed towards me but it is related to people I have a great amount of respect and affection for. While Rih is continuing to live her serene, best dressed pregnancy life and I go back to my business - I wish everyone a beautiful Easter weekend!"
There's a story buzzing around that Rihanna and A$AP Rocky split because he cheated on her, but a source directly connected to both artists -- who has regular interaction with them -- tells TMZ ... neither the breakup claim, or the cheating is true.
The story that's circulating claims Rihanna called it quits with A$AP after she caught him cheating with shoe designer, Amina Muaddi. Muaddi does have a connection to RiRi -- she's a shoe designer for Rihanna's Fenty brand.
Our source first said, "100% false on both counts," and then added, "1 million percent not true. They're fine."
Worth noting that yesterday -- as the rumor was bubbling up -- Amina reposted recent pics of Rihanna out and about in West Hollywood. That would have been an odd move if she really were cheating with A$AP.
As you know, Rihanna is pregnant with A$AP's baby. Unclear when she's due, but based on pics she seems to be far along. She's on the cover of Vogue this month, and in the issue, she gushes about A$AP and their relationship.
The couple got together back in November, 2020. They had been friends for years before hooking up.
