Days after the cheating allegations swirled earlier this month, Rihanna and A$AP were spotted at a Caribbean Island airport, before flying out to Barbados.
They were seen walking out together, surrounded by their entourage as A$AP carried luggage.
Shortly before Rihanna's boyfriend returned to Los Angeles, he was spotted out on a dinner date with the singer.
She stepped out without underwear in a barely-there black dress that showed off her growing baby bump.
Much of the top was merely a bra, while a huge section of the bottom featured only a crisscrossed string.
The dress came above her thighs and tied at the bottom.
Rihanna's hand covered the top part of her leg, but it appeared she wasn't wearing any underwear beneath the mini dress.
Her chest tattoo was peeking out of her dress while her nails were painted red with white dots.
Meanwhile, A$AP stepped out in a white, graphic T-shirt, jeans, and a green and white trucker hat.
