Rihanna got behind the camera to capture her beau A$AP Rocky for W Magazine‘s Volume 5 issue! The 36-year-old entertainer and mogul photographed her 36-year-old partner for the mag’s Originals Portfolio at the Merce Hotel, which is a special place for the couple. “This is very special because this is the first place she fell in love with me…Virgil Abloh shot the music video for ‘Fashion Killa’ in 2012, and that was the same couch where Rihanna and I sat in the first scene…That was that same room,” the rapper shared. For the feature, A$AP also opened up about their relationship, including when he first knew he was interested in Rihanna, knowing she was the one and even dished on their sons’ personalities! Keep reading to find out more… On where he finds support: “…from my woman, from my partner. She knows when to hold it down. I think we both have our niches, our things that we do that we’re good at.

We just locked eyes. She didn’t even know us, but she was like, ‘Yo! Why y’all not letting him in? What’s wrong with you?! Let that man in! ” On how he knew Rihanna was the one: “I knew from when we were younger. We both did, I think. So it was only right when we got older. We just kind of reconnected…” For more from A$AP Rocky, head to WMagazine.com! Browse through the gallery to see more photos of A$AP Rocky by Rihanna…
