  Pop star Rihanna's singer boyfriend Chris Brown was apparently very nervous about his first introduction to her family, according to a report.
  
  Rihanna took her young beau to Barbados last week to introduce him to her parents and brothers – who are "protective" of the 19-year-old Umbrella singer, according to IK magazine.
  
  The publication joked that Chris, who is 18, found it easier to perform to thousands of screaming fans than meeting the potential parents-in-law.
  
  OK says Chris told a friend he was worried before he left for Barbados.
  
  "Rihanna is very close to her family," said the friend.
  
  "But she knew they loved Chris as much as she does."
  
  However apparently one of the brothers gave the R&B a "hated time" and told him he was "too short for his sister".
  
  However the friend added that Chris had survived the visit and had enjoyed seeing the family photograph album.
  
  Recently Chris auctioned some of his memorabilia as part of the 50th Grammy charity online auction.
  
  To find someone to take home to your parents, search for your perfect date!
