Rihanna has officially announced that she is expecting her third child with partner A$AP Rocky. The revelation came during the 2025 Met Gala in New York City, where the 37-year-old singer and fashion mogul showcased her baby bump in a series of striking ensembles. The event, themed “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” celebrated Black dandyism and menswear, with A$AP Rocky serving as one of the co-chairs.
Rihanna began the evening by sharing a photo on Instagram, donning a light blue Miu Miu outfit that subtly highlighted her pregnancy. Later, she graced the Met Gala red carpet in a custom Marc Jacobs ensemble featuring a cropped tuxedo jacket and a pinstriped maxi skirt, elegantly accentuating her baby bump. At the afterparty, she continued to embrace maternity fashion, wearing a black oversized blazer over a ruffled blouse that revealed her stomach, paired with a unique floor-length skirt. She completed the look with a crystal-embellished choker, a lace bandana, and Christian Louboutin pumps.
This announcement follows Rihanna’s previous high-profile pregnancy reveal during her 2023 Super Bowl halftime performance. She and A$AP Rocky are already parents to two sons: RZA, born in May 2022, and Riot, born in August 2023.
In interviews, Rihanna has expressed her desire to expand her family, mentioning in a 2020 British Vogue interview her wish to have “three or four” children. She has also humorously noted her hope to have a daughter, saying, “I’m batting at 75 percent for a boy next time. So, we’ll just keep our fingers crossed.”
The 2025 Met Gala not only marked a significant moment in Rihanna’s personal life but also highlighted her continued influence in the fashion world. Her bold maternity style choices have once again set trends and captured public attention, reinforcing her status as a global fashion icon.
