"My body has gone through an incredible period," the star admitted.
Rihanna has become a mother for the third time — the singer and her boyfriend A$AP Rocky welcomed their long-awaited daughter. Now, the parents of multiple children spend every free moment with their daughter, but the day before, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky managed to spend some time together. On October 3, the rapper celebrated his birthday — he turned 37 this year. Paparazzi managed to capture a few shots of the couple. Despite the cool weather, the stars were driving to a festive dinner in a convertible. RiRi wore sunglasses and a black leather jacket, while A$AP Rocky donned a beige trench coat. They looked like the happiest people on Earth!
Rihanna is one of the most private stars. She rarely shares details of her personal life with fans. This was also the case with all her pregnancies. Rumors that the singer would soon become a mother for the third time emerged back in late 2024, but the star herself did not comment on these speculations.
Rihanna announced her pregnancy in May 2025 at the main fashion event — the Met Gala. A few hours before the ceremony, a photographer published a photo of the singer on the streets of New York: in the rain, holding an umbrella, and wearing a stylish light blue suit that clearly showcased her rounded belly. Then, on the red carpet of the Met Gala, Rihanna, dressed in an outfit by Marc Jacobs, and A$AP Rocky, who was co-chairing the ball that year, made an official statement. The rapper, beaming with happiness, told reporters: "It’s an amazing feeling… It’s time to just show people our happiness." For Rihanna, this continued a tradition — announcing her pregnancies at grand events, as she did in 2023 with her legendary performance at the Super Bowl.
Throughout her pregnancy, Rihanna remained true to her unique approach to style, clearly demonstrating that pregnancy is not a reason to give up fashion and experimentation. She has repeatedly stated that she will never buy clothes from special sections for expectant mothers because the process of creating looks brings her too much joy.
"My body has gone through an incredible period, and I’m not going to be ashamed of it. This time should be festive," she said.
This principle was embodied in her numerous public appearances: from a sheer Chanel outfit at the Smurfs premiere in Belgium to a luxurious chocolate brown dress by Saint Laurent at the premiere in Los Angeles, where her sons, RZA and Riot, ran around in custom-made Dior suits by Jonathan Anderson.
As for the gender of the future child, the couple kept the intrigue for a while. At the same Smurfs premiere, Rihanna, holding a Smurf toy, responded to questions: "Let’s see if it will be Smurfette!" — hinting that she and Rocky did not find out the child's gender in advance. However, the rapper really wanted a daughter. In an interview with ELLE, he admitted: "I’m praying it’s a girl. I really want that… This pregnancy is so different from the previous two. I hope it’s a little girl. I need her." He was the first to hint that the child's name, like all family members, would start with the letter R — a tradition that, according to Rihanna, was the only thing they and Rocky never disagreed on.
