Pop singer Rihanna is now a mom for the second time, and her boyfriend A$AP Rocky is the proud dad again! The news broke out that the pop star, who’s 35, gave birth to a baby boy on August 3 in sunny Los Angeles, California. Sources spill the beans that this little one’s name kicks off with an “R,” keeping it in the R-family with their first son RZA, born on May 13 last year.
Rihanna surprised everyone when she revealed her pregnancy back in February, during her Super Bowl Halftime Show. But if you were paying close attention, you might’ve caught some subtle hints she was dropping, like when she was strutting her stuff in NYC with a visible baby bump.
And remember the buzz when she wore that red bomber-style jacket at her performance? People were all over social media wondering, “Is Rihanna pregnant?” Her reveal caused quite the commotion, even crashing X, formerly known as Twitter.
In a chat with Vogue, Rihanna spilled the beans about her first pregnancy with Rocky, saying they weren’t exactly planning but definitely not against it. “We just had fun and then it was just there on the test,” she shared, proving that sometimes life’s best surprises are the unexpected ones.
As for their romance, it’s been quite the journey. Rumors about them started back in December 2019 when they showed up together at the British Fashion Awards. They kept us guessing with sightings, but it wasn’t until May 2021 that Rocky confirmed they were an item, calling Rihanna “the love of his life” and revealing she’s the one for him.
Now, with their new addition, this superstar couple’s family just got a little bigger, and we’re all cheering for them!
