Rihanna is going to be a mother of three!
The singer, 37, is pregnant and expecting her third baby with boyfriend A$AP Rocky.
The singer debuted her growing baby bump at the Carlyle Hotel in New York City today before arriving on the red carpet of the Met Gala 2025.
While braving the rain under black umbrellas, Rihanna stunned, wearing a gray two-piece skirt set, matching knee-high stockings and gray pumps.
She attempted to cover her baby bump at times with a brown fur scarf.
The proud parents previously welcomed their son RZA in May 2022 and their second boy, Riot Rose, in August 2023.
The Fenty Beauty founder hinted about wanting a third child in December 2023 when E! News asked her whether there was anything she was not capable of achieving.
“So far, have daughters,” she joked. “I’m batting at 75 percent for a boy next time. So, we’ll just keep our fingers crossed.”
Rihanna has talked about wanting a large family for years, telling British Vogue in 2020 that she planned to have three or four kids — with or without a partner.
“I feel like society makes me want to feel like, ‘Oh, you got it wrong …’ They diminish you as a mother if there’s not a dad in your kids’ lives,” she vented.
“But the only thing that matters is happiness, that’s the only healthy relationship between a parent and a child.
“That’s the only thing that can raise a child truly, is love.”
Rihanna found love with Rocky, 36, in 2020 — after they first collaborated on a remix of her song Cockiness (Love It) in 2012.
The rapper spoke out about their romance for the first time in May 2021, telling GQ that his girlfriend was “the one.”
The singer announced her first pregnancy less than a year later by showing off her baby bump on a frigid stroll through New York in January 2022. She debuted her second baby bump during her 2023 Super Bowl Halftime Show performance.
Rihanna raved about parenting with Rocky in December 2023, telling Access Hollywood it was a “turn-on” to see him as a father.
“I loved him differently as a dad,” she raved.
“It’s just like, ‘Wow! What a leader, what a great, patient, loving [dad].’”
