The baseball star and the ‘California King Bed’ singer split last December after an 11-month romance but the handsome athlete says they have a “good relationship” and are still supportive of each other.

He told Us Weekly magazine: “She’s a good friend of mine. We’re good.

“There’s no bad blood between us.

We’ve all got busy lives and we’re working on our careers and concentrating on our careers. Like I said, I wish her all the best of luck and she wishes me all the best of luck.”

Rihanna and Matt split because they were struggling to find the time to see each other and the Barbados-born beauty had admitted they were feeling the pressure of making a long distance romance work.

She said: “It’s really difficult because we are so far from each other most of the year and we both have very demanding schedules, it gets difficult at times but it is what it is.

“I’m in love and I’m very happy but we have only been dating for a few months so no wedding for now, we are taking it easy.”
