Overview
Musa and Riven first meet in Season 1, where Musa quickly developed a crush on him, but is seemed like Riven wanted nothing to do with her. To make matter worse for Musa, Darcy placed a spell on Riven in the eighth episode and the two date for most of the season. Despite all of that, Musa and Riven are seen as friends in Season 2 and later become a couple by the season finale after Musa kisses him while under the impression that she lost him. Starting in Season 3, their relationship seems to have hit a rocky area. Even though it appears that they do not seem to love each other much anymore (due to their constant arguing), it is revealed to be the opposite later in the season when Riven fights for Musa with Ophir, believing that he was trying to steal her away. However, come Season 4 and Musa and Riven hit another rocky patch when Riven becomes jealous of her new manager, Jason Queen. Though they take a break, the two still care very much for each other, which can be seen when the boys are kidnapped. Each time Musa got on stage thanks to Riven's jealousy and anger, Riven still made attempts at showing his love to her during their break from each other. Riven even writes a song for her in Season 5. However, midway through Season 6, Musa and Riven break off their relationship seemingly for good, as Musa had been feeling mistreated by Riven and Riven believed that this meant he had to go off to train by himself in order to come back as a man more capable of protecting Musa.
Appearances
The two of them first meet in the Black Mud Swamp and Musa immediately falls for him. She confesses this to an image of her mother on the Day of the Rose. However, every attempt at growing closer to Riven has only met by mild annoyance. That same day, Riven is injured during the Race for the Rose by the helmet Bloom gave him to make peace. Darcy heals him and he chooses to go with her, thinking his so called "friends" do not want him any good. When Musa sees Darcy and Riven together in a witch bar in the ninth episode, Icy, Stormy and a large number of other Cloud Tower Witches run after her in Magix as payback for slapping Icy. During the chase, Musa runs into Riven and asks for his help. Unfortunately, Riven practically laughs at her as he asks her why he would help her. This causes Musa to be heartbroken and she runs off in tears as the witches are still in pursuit of her.
At the end of the war against the Trix, Riven comes to help Musa up, which makes a smile appear on her face. The two end up holding hands as they look deeply into each other's eyes almost lovingly.
At the start, when Stella, Bloom, Aisha, Sky and Brandon are leaving to save the Pixies, Musa glares at Riven in Alfea quad, but some days later, she is so worried for them she throws herself in his arms crying.

In the Wildlands, Musa and Riven argue but finally reconcile when she finds him spying on the Trix. Riven wants Musa to watch them while he goes and warn the others of their presence, but Musa decides otherwise. She chooses to trust him by letting him spy on them and tells him she likes him, earning her her Charmix.
At the end, before entering Darkar's Fortress, Musa mocks Riven, telling him that he is not all into the mushy stuff, but Riven pulls Musa in a hug, admitting to her he does not know what he would do without her and asks her to promise him that she will come back to him.
During the fight to save Bloom, when Musa is about to be struck by Darkar, Riven runs in front of her, getting injured. Musa goes to Riven's side trying to wake him up, when she gives up, she kisses him. However, as Bloom used her healing power to heal everyone, Musa is flustered when Riven opens his eyes and scoots away from him, as she did not want him to know she loves him.

They do not talk very much, notably during the crying session among the Winx and Timmy after Tecna fell into the portal to the Omega Dimension, but Riven looks at his girlfriend when he tells Timmy he knows what he means when he said he still felt Tecna's vibrations.
Musa considers breaking up with Riven after they train to become stunt bikers to save Stella's father. When the Winx and Specialists, except Riven and Helia, go to the Red Tower for the Water Stars, Riven thinks Musa is cheating on him when he sees her putting handcuffs on Nabu in the video Flora sent to Helia. Without hesitation Riven takes his wind rider to go the Red Tower. When he arrives with Piff, he sees Nabu with an injured Musa in his arms. Not believing it is only because she needs help and because he loves her and is afraid to lose her, Riven orders him twice to put his girlfriend down and after jumps on him to fight.

When the Winx are about to open Obsidian, Riven takes the key from Bloom. Sky fights with him for that key and, as Riven is about to stab Sky, Musa jumps between the two, getting injured. She becomes unconscious and Riven is upset, remembering memories of the both of them, shedding black tears. The spell is broken and his love for her heals Musa. Hugging, Riven confesses to Musa that he now knows who he is fighting for, for her. She is pleased with that and they kiss.
At the start of the season, Musa and Riven are seen happy together. The Specialists are secretly sent to Gardenia to watch after the Winx. Riven's jealous side is shown by his anger when he sees Musa singing on stage with Andy. When the Winx discover their presence, Musa and Riven start arguing once again.

However, this only makes Musa angrier as she thinks he only wants to ruin her music projects.

When they reunite, Musa and Riven hug, happy to be together and that each is not injured. Riven and Musa say they missed each other.
They finally talk everything through on the beach and, joking, when Musa says they cannot be together anymore and Riven asks only for the reason, Musa starts laughing and says: "because I'm already yours".
