Update on the Happy Couple

Everyone's heard it by now. Chris Brown beat the hell out of girlfriend Rihanna three weeks ago, she is taking him back, blah blah blah. Here's what the family thinks, according to People:

Rihanna may have spent the weekend in Miami with Chris Brown, but her family isn't quite ready for the tumultuous couple to reunite.

"Everyone wants them to take a break, to cool off," a relative of Rihanna tells PEOPLE after the pair returned to Los Angeles together early Monday morning. "No one wants them back together."

Family thought that the relationship was over after Brown allegedly battered Rihanna on Feb. 8. The couple went their own ways for awhile – he went home, while she recuperated in Barbados and Mexico – but the separation was short-lived.

The pair reunited in Miami last weekend, spending time at the Star Island mansion of Sean "Diddy" Combs. A source close to the couple told PEOPLE that the couple was "definitely together" and working on a reconciliation.

"I'm concerned," continues the relative. "I don't want her to make a mistake, and I don't want her to ever go through this again."

It's gonna be funny when Chris beats her again and the story lands on the back page somewhere between the personals section and the ad for a new pillow that will get rid of that painful stiff neck you have in the morning. I can't say I'd particularly care if it happens again, but that pillow does sound helpful.
