It just seemed too perfect ...

Rumors of the 29-year-old singer and Jameel's relationship began back in June, when the couple was spotted getting close and comfy in a swimming pool.

Jameel is the deputy president and vice chairman of family business Abdul Latif Jameel Domestic, which owns the rights to sell Toyota products in Saudi Arabia.

"This relationship is the real deal. Rihanna has told friends she’s in love with him and seems completely smitten," a source said in June.

"They’ve been spending a lot of time together away from prying eyes and are really serious. They’re really enjoying each others’ company," the source said.

According to the website of Abdul Latif Jameel, the company has "deep roots in the Middle East, North Africa, and Turkey." It was launched some 70 years ago with a trading business, later expanding to open a Toyota dealership in Jeddah.

Hassan Jameel was previously linked to supermodel Naomi Campbell after the two were seen together at the 2016 British Summer Time Festival in London.

Saudi Arabia plans to build new homes ... using robots

The kingdom plans to build some 1.5 million homes.

United Arab Emirates is known for resorting to robots in various aspects of public life, but it seems as though another Gulf country is joining in on the robot hype. 

Al Arabiya reports that Saudi Arabia has signed a deal with an Australian tech company called Fastbrick Robotics to supply robots that would help build homes in the kingdom, as part of its mass-housing program. 

Saudi Arabia plans to build some 1.5 million homes for its citizens by 2022, with the project estimated to cost over $100 billion.

To do this, the Saudi housing ministry has been striking deals abroad. Earlier this week, the ministry signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) - a non-binding agreement that precedes the formal contract - with Fastbrick Robotics, which would provide about 100 home-building robots.

With their unique technology of automated brick-laying, Fastbrick Robotics' robots would help build at least 50,000 home units.

According to The West Australian, the company's shares soared by 43 percent after the deal  was signed - which is yet to be formalized.

"Initial pricing discussions indicate a significant potential opportunity for the company," the company is quoted as stating.

If the parties follow through with the agreement, Saudi Arabia would become the first country in the world to use the company's Hadrian X robots, whose prototype has successfully built the walls of a test home within days.

Fastbrick Robotics' CEO, Mike Pivac, said the company's technology presents "a timely solution to Saudi Arabia’s housing supply problem, which is a problem shared by many other countries around the world".
