The 'Stay' singer's dad says the R&B singer made a "terrible mistake" that he has forgiven him for.

Rihanna's father says he has forgiven Chris Brown for the couple's violent break-up in 2009 and believes that "everybody deserves a second chance".

The 'We Found Love' singer's dad Ronald Fenty says he has given the couple his blessing for their reconciliation, following their split three years ago after Chris' assault conviction.

"Chris made a mistake, a terrible one," Ronald told the Sunday Mirror. "But I'm a great believer that everybody deserves a second chance and Chris is no different.

"Everybody goes wrong at some point, I certainly have," the 24 year-old singer's father explained. "But it is how you come back and live your life which is important.

"And as long as she is happy then so am I. Everybody has had their say about her and Chris but it is up to her to find her own way.

"Chris has always been polite and kind to me and treated me with respect," he added. "That's all you can ask from your daughter's boyfriend."
