No, you’re not getting “Punk’d” — Rihanna and Ashton Kutcher really did make headlines for their alleged fling in 2012. At the time, Kutcher had separated from his wife, Demi Moore, though their divorce wouldn’t be finalized until 2013. Meanwhile, Ri was doing her thing: making great music and having fun. Extra reported that the two first connected at a friend’s house in December 2011, where they swapped numbers and made plans to hang out. “Rihanna has told friends [Ashton is] funny and cute. Both of them love a good time and think they’re too busy for anything serious just yet,” a source reportedly told The Sun. In March of 2012, Ri was spotted leaving Kutcher’s house very early in the morning, according to the Daily Mail. Given their respective breakups from high-profile exes — Kutcher from Moore, and Ri from Chris Brown — it made sense that they’d want to keep their “8-week fling” under wraps.

Even though it was short-lived, things were hot and heavy between the actor and the singer. “[Rihanna] is starting to inquire about Kabbalah sessions with his rabbi,” another source claimed. “If she and Ashton are getting really close, she wants to be able to understand it.” As far as we know, Ri is no Kabbalah convert, and she also didn’t speak publicly about her time with Kutcher, which put a damper on their budding relationship.
