Rihanna celebrated her 32nd birthday with a big party in Mexico

A source told E! News: "Rihanna is having a birthday celebration in Mexico. She invited her friends and family down to celebrate turning 32 with her.

"They had a dinner party on Wednesday night with dinner and dancing. Everyone was welcomed to the party with a line of mariachis performing and Tequila shots passed around.

"There were balloon arrangements, colourful flowers and Mexican decor both indoors and outdoors. They had a long outdoor table set up for dinner and the mariachis continued to perform."

The insider also revealed that following the dinner, the group enjoyed a "big dance party" together.

The source said: "They partied all night long with music, drinks, a birthday cake and cupcakes for Rihanna. She was in her element with the people she loves and having a great time."

Rihanna recently split from her long-time boyfriend Hassan Jameel.

And the Bajan beauty admitted earlier this month that she was poised to spend Valentine's Day in the studio, working on her long-awaited new album.

Asked about her Valentine's Day plans, Rihanna - who has previously dated the likes of Drake and Chris Brown - shared: "I'm going to be in the studio.

"I'm so excited actually. I can't say who I'm working with, but it's somebody I've been wanting to work with him for a long time."

Under pressure, Rihanna then revealed the big-name music star she was planning to work with.

She said: "Okay, I'll tell you. [It's] Pharrell."
