Rihanna was rumored to be dating Kutcher, star of the show "Two and a Half Men," after she was spotted leaving his home late at night last month. However, the singer was less than happy when questioned about a romance with Kutcher in an interview while promoting her upcoming movie "Battleship."
When asked about Kutcher visiting the set of the movie, Rihanna's response was less than pleasant.
"Wow, how disappointing was that question," Rihanna said in the promotional interview for the movie. "I'm happy and I'm single, if that's what you're really asking."
However, this was not the only interviewer that felt backlash from inquiring about Rihanna's love life. On a promotional interview for "Battleship" in Australia, the singer ended her interview when her love life was discussed.
"How frustrating is it when you're linked with another big star, even if you've barely met them," one interviewer questioned.
Rihanna answered the reporter before ending the interview.
"Very frustrating, almost as frustrating as being asked about it," Rihanna answered. "What's the point?"
Still, the singer did not seem to be angry with her mother, who she posed with in multiple photos on her Instagram photograph sharing account. Although Rihanna never disclosed exactly what her mother said in reference to Kutcher, she seemed excited about her mother surprising her by attending the event.
"Mumz surprised me for TIME 100," she tweeted.
The singer performed at the event, which was held at the Lincoln Center in New York City Tuesday night.
