Rihanna has once again set the internet ablaze, this time not with a surprise album drop, but a surprise baby bump.
The multi-award-winning singer, fashion mogul, and global icon has revealed that she and partner A$AP Rocky are expecting their third child. The news broke in classic Rihanna fashion: stylish, understated, and wildly iconic. A candid photo posted to Instagram yesterday by their personal photographer shows Rihanna striding through the rainy streets of New York City, her growing bump proudly visible beneath a sleek, tailored coat. It’s the kind of reveal only RiRi could make look like an impromptu Vogue shoot.
The timing couldn’t be more perfectly orchestrated. With the 2025 Met Gala just days away, the photo has only heightened excitement and speculation about what Rihanna will wear on fashion’s most glamorous night, particularly now that she’s entering the event as a glowing mum-to-be. If history is anything to go by, fans can expect another show-stopping, bump-embracing ensemble to remember.
Rihanna and A$AP Rocky, who are already parents to two young children, have continued to captivate fans with their effortless blend of family life and star power. This third pregnancy cements their status as one of the most talked-about celebrity couples of the decade. A$AP Rocky, who is serving as one of the official co-chairs of this year’s Met Gala, shared his joy in a statement to the Associated Press.
“It feels amazing, you know,” he said. “It’s time that we show the people what we was cooking up. And I’m glad everybody’s happy for us ’cause we definitely happy, you know.”
The couple’s easy chemistry and shared creative energy have become a defining part of their public image, often appearing in high-fashion shoots, music collaborations, and red carpet appearances. Rihanna’s fans, affectionately known as the Navy, were quick to flood social media with congratulatory messages, jokes about still waiting for her next album, and adoration for her continued trailblazing both on and off the stage.
As for the Met Gala, all eyes are now firmly fixed on what the night will hold, not only for fashion, but for the growing Fenty-Rocky family. One thing’s for sure: Rihanna doesn’t just make announcements. She makes moments.
Will she steal the show once again on the Met steps? If history, and her bump, are any indication, the answer is a resounding yes.
