Rihanna’s Night at the Kids’ Choice Awards

And to the surprise of many, the Umbrella singer and her rumored boyfriend Chris Brown walked the event’s orange carpet separately.

Brown, who picked up the favorite male singer prize, kept his distance from the Barbados beauty as they both took separate turns waving to the throngs of screaming fans.

Chris even went as far as telling reporters, “We’re not in a relationship or anything,” before making his way inside the slime-filled ceremony.

Meanwhile, Rihanna was content chumming it up with fellow celebs such as Ashlee Simpson before tending to her presenting duties alongside Brendan Fraser.
