Rihanna Gives Birth To A Baby Boy

Rihanna Gives Birth To A Baby Boy

Rihanna is a child! The diva and her partner A$AP Rocky had their first child, a boy, on May 13. The news was not made public until May 19, when it was first reported by TMZ and later verified by People.

After being seen hand in hand on a casual, snowy stroll in New York City with the “Fashion Killa” rapper, the superstar revealed her pregnancy at the end of January. RiRi has spent the last few months elevating maternity style by presenting ensemble after ensemble of runway-ready looks at Milan Fashion Week, Paris Fashion Week, and elsewhere.

In an April cover story for Vogue, the singer-turned-Fenty mogul bared not only her baby bump, but also her approach to pregnancy style, saying, “I’m hoping that we were able to redefine what’s considered ‘decent’ for pregnant women. My body is doing incredible things right now, and I’m not going to be ashamed of that. This time should feel celebratory. Because why should you be hiding your pregnancy?”

She also revealed during the chat that her pregnancy was an unplanned but ultimately welcome surprise. “Planning? I wouldn’t say planning. But certainly not planning against it. I don’t know when I ovulate or any of that type of s–t. We just had fun,” she said. “And then it was just there on the test … Then I was in the doctor’s office the next morning and our journey began.”

During her final trimester, Rihanna also weathered more than her fair share of drama, from viral rumors that Rocky had cheated on her with fashion designer Amina Muaddi (who promptly shot down the accusations as “fake gossip”), to her rapper beau’s April arrest in connection to a November 2021 shooting in L.A. (He’s since been released on $550,000 bail.)

Meanwhile, the Barbados-born star reassured fans shortly after revealing her baby bump that her long-awaited follow-up to 2016’s Anti is still on the way. She joked in February, “My fans would kill me if they waited this long for a lullaby.”
