Rihanna is featured on the latest cover of Rolling Stone, and opened up to the magazine about her ex-boyfriend Chris Brown and their recent reconiliation.

She says, "I decided it was more important for me to be happy." She goes on to say, "I wasn't going to let anybody's opinion get in the way of that. Even if it's a mistake, it's my mistake. After being tormented for so many years, being angry and dark, I'd rather just live my truth and take the backlash. I can handle it."

It seems like the two are in a good place currently, and have learned to talk things out. Rihanna told Rolling Stone, "We value each other. We know exactly what we have now, and we don't want to lose that."

Find out what else Rihanna had to say about Chris when her 'Crazy in Love' Rolling Stone issue will hit news stands on January 31st.
