Rihanna, whose real name is Robyn Fenty, took the spotlight at New York's Met Gala, confirming she is expecting her third child. The 37-year-old singer elegantly cradled her baby bump, radiating happiness on the navy blue carpet adorned with daffodils. This exciting news comes as she and her partner, rapper A$AP Rocky, also known as Rakim Mayers, are already parents to two sons: RZA, born in May 2022, and Riot, born in August 2023.
A$AP Rocky expressed gratitude to well-wishers during their red carpet appearance, stating, "It is time to just show the people what we were cooking up." He echoed their shared joy, thanking everyone for their congratulations and saying, "I'm glad everybody's happy for us because we're definitely happy."
The annual Met Gala is a prestigious benefit event for the Metropolitan Museum of Art, celebrating the opening of the Costume Institute's yearly fashion exhibit. This year’s theme was "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style," highlighting menswear for the first time in two decades. A$AP Rocky, serving as co-chair, proudly confirmed their pregnancy news amidst the festivities.
Rihanna is known for her unique and high-profile pregnancy announcements. She first displayed her first child's pregnancy with a striking photoshoot in Harlem in 2022 and revealed her second child during the Super Bowl halftime show in 2023. The couple's joyful news follows in the footsteps of other celebrities who have shared their pregnancy journeys at the Met Gala, including Serena Williams and Karlie Kloss.
Speculation about Rihanna's third pregnancy began when she was spotted entering the Carlyle Hotel ahead of the event, delighting fans and media alike with the news of her expanding family. As both Rihanna and A$AP Rocky look forward to new adventures, the world watches with excitement for what’s to come.
