Washington, Feb 27 : Following her highly-publicized bust-up with Chris Brown nearly two weeks ago, Rihanna has been shying away from the media. Now, the singer has finally been spotted.

Rihanna has been photographed in Mexico. The photos were run by New York Daily News and show Rihanna in a bathing suit enjoying her break in a private beachside villa in Punta Mita, Mexico.

The images were reportedly snapped, a day after she celebrated her 21st birthday in L. A, reports E! Online.

The shocking bruises that sources say Brown left on the songbird''s face just before the Grammy Awards were not visible in exclusive photographs.

It's the first time Rihanna''s been photographed in public since the Feb. 8 altercation with Brown that left her hospitalised. (ANI)
