Rihanna and A$AP Rocky have just confirmed that they are having their third child. The pair revealed their delightful surprise during the 2025 Met Gala. This swanky affair was held on May 1, 2025 at the historic Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City. She, along with her husband Jack, are overjoyed about welcoming their new addition into their growing family! They recently added two sons, RZA and Riot, to that family.
Together, on December 4, 2024, the pair took a step into the spotlight at the 38th Annual Footwear News Achievement Awards where they gave Footwear News’ ChangeMaker Award. Their public appearances have stirred interest in their family life, especially as Rihanna continues to embrace motherhood. Just months later, they attended the prestigious Met Gala together, where the theme was “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.” This year’s event celebrated the influence of Black fashion through an exhibition inspired by Monica L. Miller’s book, “Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity.”
Guests were invited to join us in being “Tailored for You.” Rihanna was seen pulling up to the Carlyle Hotel on the Upper East Side. She accessorized her form-fitting midi skirt and coordinating top with a luxurious fur coat that helped to mask her burgeoning baby belly. This choice of attire marked another moment in her fashion evolution, as she gracefully navigates her role as a style icon and a mother.
In a recent interview with Interview magazine in April 2024, Rihanna was candid about her delight in being a parent. She described becoming a parent as “the best thing that ever happened” to her and A$AP Rocky. Their path as parents began with the birth of their first child, RZA, in May 2022. They are expecting their third child together and welcomed Riot in August 2023. Speaking in February 2025, Rihanna shared more about her children in an interview with Harper’s Bazaar — her first since welcoming her baby boy.
“He’s so magical. He loves music. He loves melody. He loves books. He loves water. Bath time, swimming, pool, beach, anything,” – Rihanna
In addition to praising her children, she shared insights into Riot’s vibrant personality, stating, “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.”
A$AP Rocky gleefully announced the expansion of their family while at the Met Gala. Fans who have tracked their romance since first crossing paths in 2012 and beginning to date in 2019 couldn’t be more thrilled. It’s no wonder that Rihanna and her growing family have captured the world’s attention. They’re particularly interested in her evolution as an artist and as a longtime single mom.
