When announcing their pregnancy at the 2025 Met Gala, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky were ecstatic. This happy news comes in addition to their growing family that includes two sons. A$AP Rocky officially made that thrilling news happen on Monday night. He made the announcement at one of fashion’s biggest events known for its celebrity filled guest list and over-the-top themes.
The musicians, who met for the first time in 2012, started dating in 2019. Since then, they have embraced parenthood, welcoming their first son, RZA, in May 2022, followed by their second son, Riot, in August 2023. Rihanna happily celebrated her promotion to parenthood. She famously proclaimed it “the best thing that ever happened” to herself and A$AP Rocky.
In a recent interview with Harper’s Bazaar, Rihanna opened up more about her life as a new mother. “When someone sees you completely, and believes in you, and thinks you’re worthy of being the mother of their kids, it’s a great feeling,” she shared.
The couple’s presence at the Met Gala coincided with this year’s theme inspired by Monica L. Miller’s book “Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity.” Attendees were invited to interpret the dress code “Tailored for You” in whatever ways they saw fit. Rihanna then turned heads as she walked into a hotel lobby, accompanied by the father of her child, A$AP Rocky, earlier that same day. Fitted midi skirt, matching top to match, baby bump stylishly covered with a chic furry coat.
There is no mistaking Rihanna’s love for her kids in the way she talks about them. She called RZA a “magician”, and recalled how much he loved music and being out on the water. Even at 10, she referred to Riot as “hilarious.” Each day he rises determined to warm hearts by sharing his song with everyone in the home.
“He’s so magical. He loves music. He loves melody. He loves books. He loves water. Bath time, swimming, pool, beach, anything.” – Rihanna
“And Riot, he’s just hilarious… When he wakes up, he starts to squeal, scream. Not in a crying way. He just wants to sing.” – Rihanna
Rihanna and A$AP Rocky attended the 38th Annual Footwear News Achievement Awards on December 4, 2024, in New York City. Their collective path to parenthood continues to be full of surprises. Now, with the news of their third child on the way, they look forward to what new adventures await them.
