Rihanna says it's "difficult" having a long-distance relationship.

The 'Russian Roulette' singer is dating Los Angeles Dodgers baseball star Matt Kemp and although she is "in love" with him, she admits their work commitments often get in the way of romance.

She said: "It's really difficult because we are so far from each other most of the year and we both have very demanding schedule. 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."

The 22-year-old pop star also revealed she finds her huge fame "surreal," particularly when she is at the same events as her childhood idols.

She explained to British station BBC Radio 1Xtra: "It's really surreal I always think about it I used to always look up to Mariah Carey and Beyonce Knowles and now when we go to the same award shows I'm in the same category, it's really, really cool and is such a good feeling. It makes me feel like I have accomplished a lot and I'm moving ahead really quickly in life."
