Kemp seems to be keeping his cool with all the extra exposure he’s been receiving due to being “just good friends” with Rihanna.

Although there have been several reports that Kemp and Rihanna are a couple, the Dodgers player still claims that they are just friends. “[She's] a very very good friend of mine. And we enjoy hanging out with each other and we’re just having fun.”

In recent interviews, when asked if he was ready to handle all the extra public exposure involved with dating a diva he replied “Hey, it is what it is. If that’s what it comes with, that’s what it comes with. I’m just gonna continue to keep trying to hit home runs and help my team get to the World Series.”
