The stunning cover image shows Rihanna, clad in a sultry black Chanel dress with a thigh-high split, posing with rapper A$AP Rocky, and their son, whose name has yet to be revealed.

In one image from the shoot, Rihanna holds her son, who is draped in a soft blanket, while another sultry picture shows A$AP Rocky laying his hands protectively across the star’s belly.

The Barbadian star told British Vogue that having a child had made her re-evaluate her life.

“Raising a young black man is one of the scariest responsibilities in life,” she said.

“You’re like, ‘What am I leaving my kids to? This is the planet they’re gonna be living on?’”

The star said parenthood had strengthened her relationship as she spoke of A$AP Rocky’s deep bond with their son.

“We’re best friends with a baby,” Rihanna told British Vogue.

“We have to be on the same page, but we’ve always kind of had that in our relationship. “Everything changes when you have a baby but I wouldn’t say it’s done anything but made us closer.”

Ever fashion forward, Rihanna said she enjoyed experimenting with her son’s style.

“I like to dress him in things that don’t look like baby clothes. I like to push it. I put him in floral stuff. I put him in hot pink. I love that,” she said.

“I think that fluidity in fashion is best. I always shop in the men’s department, you know.”
