Surprise, surprise – the world just got a little bit cuter as the sensational songstress, fashion icon, and all-around superstar, Rihanna, has welcomed her second bundle of joy into the world.
The news many have been eagerly waiting for finally broke, and we can’t help but squeal with delight as we picture Rihanna embracing her newborn with that trademark radiant smile of hers. As they were with their firstborn, RZA, the singer and her partner A$AP Rocky have kept all the details surrounding their second baby private but a source has confirmed that earlier this month the couple welcomed another baby boy and his name also starts with the letter R.

As always Rihanna absolutely rocked her pregnancy, taking her maternity fashion to new heights (as if it was even possible). So while we await with bated breath any details of her second baby, here are some of our favourite looks BadGalRiRi has flaunted over the last few months.
Following her announcement, the now Mum of two shared her first family magazine cover featuring herself, A$AP Rocky, baby RZA, and little did they know their newest addition was also present.
“my son so fine! Idc idc idc! How crazy both of my babies were in these photos and mommy had no clue

In March the singer was nominated for an Academy Award for her song performed for the second Black Panther movie. Walking the red carpet Rihanna wore a custom Alaïa leather band dress layered over a semi-sheer bodysuit that showed off her growing bump.

Later that night Rihanna took to the stage to perform her nominated number, wearing a bejewelled bra top with a pair of sparkly pants and opera-style gloves.

Revealing her last look for the ceremony, Rihanna was decked out in a mint green silk bustier and skirt, shearling and leather gloves.

Coming up to the beginning of May meant the prestigious Met Gala that Rihanna actually missed out on last year. Making up for lost time, the star began serving looks before the event had even started. Decked out in Chanel (a tribute to the theme of the 2023 Met Gala, Karl Lagerfeld) Rihanna posed for the camera in white and black fur and feathers finishing off with the classic Chanel logo sunglasses.
“not even Monday” she captioned.

Then of course was the main event, where even fashionably late, Rihanna stunned in a look that transformed as she walked the steps of the Met (we love a reveal). On arrival, the musician was dressed in a cocoon-like Valentino dress accessorised with playful cat-eye sunglasses. Following this, the jacket of sorts was shrugged down to her arms to show off the white dress underneath. Then losing the shawl altogether, Rihanna had her bump on full display in the tight-fitting gown.

What says ‘date night’ more than dressing up to the nines? A$AP Rocky and Rihanna have stepped out many times over the last months for their date night, and we were certainly never left feeling like the artist didn’t give her all with each look.

FEBRUARY 13, 2023
In what might have been the most anticipated performance of 2023 (and it’s only February) superstar Rihanna took to the stage during the infamous Super Bowl Halftime Show to give her first performance in over seven years.
As the 34-year-old took to the stage and the music began she pushed back her open coat revealing what seemed to be… a baby bump.

Dressed in a fire-red boiler suit with a tight bodice underneath the singer stepped onto the stage and gave a single rub over what looked to be a baby bump *cue the internet going absolutely wild*. After about an hour of speculation running rapid over Twitter and Facebook alike the news that Rihanna and rapper A$AP Rocky are in fact expecting their second baby together was confirmed by Rihanna’s representative to The Hollywood Reporter.
“A representative for #Rihanna confirms the superstar is pregnant following her explosive Super Bowl halftime show.”

In an interview during her press junket before the show the singer was asked whether there were going to be any surprises during her halftime show performance. Smiling, Rihanna replied: “I’m thinking about bringing someone… I’m not sure – we’ll see”. Well I think we know for sure that she did bring someone – they were just a lot close than we originally thought!

Rihanna shares first look of her baby with super cute TikTok
MAY 20, 2022
Rihanna has introduced her baby boy to the world. The singer shared the first glimpse of her son who was born in May of this year as her very first post on her TikTok @rihanna.
In a series of unbelievably cute videos edited together, Rihanna showed off her boy, whose name is still unknown, while strapped into his car seat. The absolute cutie is seen to be smiling and giggling at the camera, trying to grab the phone, and taking in the world around him as they travel along.

The fashion designer captioned the video “hacked” as a funny nod to the fact that she was allowing an intimate peek into her private life.
Rihanna and her partner ASAP Rocky have kept their baby boy’s life private up until now only recently sharing photos with American journalist Jason Lee to share on his Instagram @HollywoodUnlocked. Jason clarified in a tweet that he had been given the exclusive photos of the couple’s bub after the singer FaceTimed him to let him know that paparazzi had taken unauthorized photos of the couple’s baby and planned to release them. He went on to say that she said “if anyone was going to put it out she wanted me to”.

In the images, the now 7-month-old is seen to be held up by Dad and having some tummy time on the bed. From these photos, it is definitely clear that he is a Mumma’s boy with lots of fans commenting that he looks just like Rihanna.
Stop the music! Rihanna welcomes first baby with A$AP Rocky
MAY 20, 2022
Businesswoman and all-around superstar Rihanna and her musician boyfriend A$AP Rocky have officially welcomed their first baby together.
According to TMZ, the fashion icon gave birth to her and A$AP Rocky’s first child, a May baby, born on Friday the 13th in Los Angeles. So far there has been no mention of a name, but Rihanna did mention early in her pregnancy that she wants to choose a baby name that celebrates her Barbados heritage.
The last time we saw Rihanna was May 9 on Mother’s Day weekend, grabbing dinner with A$AP in Santa Monica.
In true ‘badgalriri’ style the singer stepped out in a bedazzling two-piece that showed off her bump, framing it with endless bling.

A day before the outing, the star posted a video on her Instagram performing some self-care. Hair wrapped in a towel while standing in her bathroom, Rihanna used her own brand Fenty Skin’s Cookie’sNClean face mask and rubbed her ButtaDrop body moisturiser into her belly.
“and that’s on self care bih 🧖🏿♀️”

Although the gender is not 100% confirmed by the couple yet, many sources cite that the couple gave birth to a little Taurean boy.
We cannot wait for the gender and name reveal from the couple, and will update as soon as we know more. We wish a world of congratulations to the couple who we are sure are taking a few private moments to themselves before introducing their little one to the world.

Rihanna’s pregnancy fashion
FEBRUARY 1, 2022
One of our favourite things to do recently here in the Mum’s Grapevine office is to anticipate and marvel at Rihanna’s pregnancy fashion.
The singer is constantly stepping up the fashion stakes and enjoying styling her baby bump. It’s no secret that she’s kept it anything but ‘conventional’ and whilst some pregnant Mumma’s choose the conservative approach to maternity wear, RiRi has gone the opposite with daring looks and bold choices that really show off her growing body. Would we expect any less from the SAVAGE X FENTY designer though?
She set the fashion tone early with her photoshoot pregnancy announcement in the now-famous vintage pink Chanel jacket with Gripoix buttons whilst strolling along the streets of Harlem, New York. The hot pink puffer was designed by Karl Lagerfeld in 1996.
One week following the couple’s pregnancy announcement, the singer stepped out in all-black (always a winner) in a Jean Paul Gaultier lace-up top, gold bra, cropped bomber jacket, and slick shades.
“All black everything 🐣” she captioned the photos.

How do you dress the bump on a dinner date? If you’re Rihanna, it’s a full-length denim and leopard patchwork coat and Fendi crop top, of course. Other choices included a Jacqui Aiches diamond bra paired back with a camo cap from Awake NY.
Accessories-wise it’s hard to go past the classics of a Dior saddle bag and Tom Ford heels.

Early March Rihanna showed off the bump in a green trench coat and turquoise one-piece with cutouts strategically placed, showing some skin. The next day she posed in anything but the “usual” jeans and a hoodie – sporting a luxed-up version that were accompanied by more than thigh-high brown suede boots and a jacket with shearling to match.

Attending an afterparty for the Academy Awards, the singer wore a floor-length black gown half sheer, half sequins.

A couple of days later Rihanna posted a series of photographs captured by celebrity photographer Miles Diggs, wearing a tiny knit bralette, baby pink low-rise jeans, and a fur jacket.
She captioned the photos: “ya boy @diggzy out here ackin up”.

Mid-April Rihanna and Vogue announced that the mogul would be Vogue’s May cover star, both posting beautiful images that we can only describe as the most glamourous pregnancy photoshoot anyone has ever had!

Shot by iconic photographer Annie Leibovitz, Rihanna is seen in a number of photographs in what looks to be a Parisian hotel room surrounded by decor akin to the French monarchy.

Every year Rihanna is one of the most anticipated guests at Vogue’s Met Gala held in New York City. This year fans were disappointed when it was realised the star was not going to be in attendance despite being Vogue’s May cover star.
Although she didn’t make an appearance, Vogue still honoured the star by portraying a digital rendering of her cover photo that had her striking a pose with her very pregnant belly, carved into marble.

What do you think of her looks?
SHE IS: Rihanna pregnant with her first child
FEBRUARY 1, 2022
Superstar Rihanna and boyfriend A$AP Rocky are expecting their first child, and it’s causing quite a stir. It isn’t through their own social media channels that the news has broken but rather a photoshoot with photographer Miles Diggs for Vogue magazine that showed off her new, and now very iconic bump.
He simply captioned the post with the words “SHE IS ! 📸: @diggzy”

The congratulations and comments are raining in for the happy couple. Tori Spelling said:
“Chicest photo EVR”
The Fenty designer and A$AP Rocky, both 33, began dating in May of 2021. ASAP, whose real name is Rakim Athelaston Mayers has described the Grammy-award winner as “The love of his life” adding about being a father one day:
“If that’s my destiny, absolutely,” he said. “…I think I’d be an incredible, remarkably, overall amazing dad. I would have a very fly child. Very.”
Honestly, we can’t wait, this is going to be a very fly child indeed.

We wish Rihanna and ASAP all the best for their pregnancy journey and we are so excited to follow them along the way.
