Los Angeles, February 23:Star Rihanna was thrown a surprise 22nd birthday party at the weekend by her rumoured boyfriend, baseball player Matt Kemp. The ”Rude Boy” singer was “shocked” by the bash put together by baseball player Matt Kemp in Phoenix, Arizona – where Kemp is currently training – as she was only expecting a small gathering of friends,reported.
“It was so sweet and she was really surprised. She looked just beautiful,” a source said.
Matt organised Caribbean food to be served to Barbados-born Rihanna and also reportedly bought her a custom-made diamond necklace. The party was extra-special for Rihanna as she cancelled her 21st birthday celebrations last year in the aftermath of her assault at the hands of then-boyfriend Chris Brown early in February 2009.
“Matt really wanted to do something nice for Rihanna this year since she didn”t have much of a 21st birthday last year. It was just her closest friends, good Jamaican food, a photo booth, dancing and a nice cake,” a source said.
Matt, 25, has been linked to Rihanna since they were seen holidaying together in Mexico in January, but he has played down romance rumours. “Rihanna is just a friend, a good friend of mine.
We went down to Mexico and had fun together,” Matt said.
