Rihanna supposedly believes ex-boyfriend Chris Brown could be a great father to his 9-month-old daughter, Royalty.

According to HollywoodLife.com, the Barbadian star has seen the R&B crooner's responsible side before and thinks he has the potential to be a good parent if he tries.

"Rihanna loves kids. Adores them! She thinks Chris will be good at whatever he sets his mind to," a source revealed. "She's seen him focused and at his best when he's concentrating on his music or rehearsing a dance. He's so focused in the moments."

The source added that Royalty could possibly have a "remarkable father" if he proves to be as dedicated to her as he is to his career.

Another source alleged that Rihanna is happy about the baby situation because it could make him "wake" up and force him to handle things in a different way. Rihanna supposedly believes it could be just what he needs to grow up.

He may already be starting to grow up, according to reports. Brown is already taking responsibility and planning to raise his little girl. He is even supposedly considering asking his baby's mother to move into his Los Angeles home, so that both of them could be part of her life.

"Her living with him -- it's on his mind and he's trying to figure out just how that would work," an insider told HollywoodLife.com. "He knows Nia wants to move to L.A. It's a lot cheaper for him to move her in with him that it would be to set her up on her own."

However, the insider insisted that Chris Brown's new arrangement is solely for Royalty and there will be nothing romantic going on between him and Nia Guzman-Amey.

"That doesn't mean he's about to start sleeping with her again or even laying in the same bed. It ain't going to be like that," the insider added. "If he did this, Nia would have her own separate room. No funny business would go on. It would be for the sake of he baby only."
