Chris Brown wants a real relationship with Rihanna, willing to go to Therapy to make things work

Chris Brown reportedly wants to have a real relationship with his ex, Rihanna. And to make it happen, the "Don't Wake Me Up" singer is apparently willing to go to therapy to improve himself as soon as he gets the time.

"Chris really wants to be in a loving relationship with the right woman, one who's going to love him and [his daughter] equally," says a source to HollywoodLife.com. "He knows that's Rihanna but he's not ready. The last thing he wants to do is hurt her emotionally, which is why he's open to going to couples therapy once his schedule calms down."

"Breezy believes in all types of therapy and he knows he has to do some serious emotional work if he wants to make things truly work with Rihanna," the source shares. "He's scared and lonely and he'd never admit that. He'd love to be with Rih but he knows he has to put in the work first."

Chris and RiRi ended their relationship in 2013. And as previously reported, Rihanna was allegedly thinking about dating the "Ayo" hitmaker again. The "Needed Me" songstress would "never stop loving and caring" her former lover as he "was the true love of her life." However, the Barbadian beauty wanted him to get rid of many of his unresolved issues.
