Rihanna and A$AP Rocky had fans reading into their post-Met Gala vibe … but TMZ has learned there’s no trouble in the relationship … just pure exhaustion after a marathon day.

Sources close to the couple tell TMZ … the two had been going nonstop for nearly 16 hours by the time they were caught on camera leaving the invite-only gala Monday night, bouncing between prep, appearances, and the main event — leaving them totally drained.

Our sources say the video in question shows nothing more than two people who were wiped out. “It was a long day and they were running on empty,” one source tells us.

As we first reported … RiRi and Rocky were filmed by a photog having what looked like an emotional conversation inside their Sprinter van after the gala, and yeah, at moments, they seemed a little annoyed with each other.

That footage, combined with clips of them looking serious outside — including viral video showing Rihanna shooting Rocky a look while he chatted with another woman — had fans thinking there might be tension, but we’re told that’s not the case, and there’s no issue between them.
