Rihanna revealed that she is having her third baby during a night out at fashion's biggest event of the year, the A-list Met Gala, in New York. The 37-year-old beamed with pride embracing her baby bump while posing for photographers on the daffodil-studded navy-themed red carpet.
Rihanna, whose name is Robyn Fenty, already has two children with her boyfriend, rapper A\livingstreet Rocky. A\street Rocky, born Rakim Mayers, warmly accepted journalists who issued congratulations to the pair, thanking the crowd on the red carpet.
"It's time to just show the people what we were cooking up," A\street Rocky said.
Rihanna dramatically made her entrance as the final celebrity to arrive at the VIP affair, the opening of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute's fashion show. The Met Gala, famous for its over-the-top themes, had this year's theme centered around "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style," a theme centered around menswear, all men's wear, which was the first since 2003.
A\$AP Rocky, who also served as a co-chair for the event, publicly shared the pregnancy news on the red carpet, saying, “Thank you, thank you, thank you.” He added, “I’m glad everybody’s happy for us because we’re definitely happy.”
The couple’s first son, RZA, was born in May 2022, and their second son, Riot, arrived in August 2023.
Rihanna, the billionaire entrepreneur and global pop sensation, has a thing or two about pregnancy announcements on the grand scale. She initially announced that she was pregnant with her first child in 2022 during a photo shoot with A$AP Rocky in Harlem. Rihanna stole headlines once again during the halftime performance at the 2023 Super Bowl when she announced that she was pregnant with their second child.
The Met Gala has had other celebrities reveal pregnancy on the red carpet before, such as former tennis player Serena Williams and supermodel Karlie Kloss, both of whom showed off their baby bumps on the 2023 red carpet.
