Rihanna turned heads at the 2025 Met Gala as she revealed her baby bump, confirming she’s expecting her third child with longtime partner A$AP Rocky. As fans celebrate the exciting news, many are eager to learn more about their kids.
The couple, who started dating in 2020, are already parents to two sons: RZA and Riot. Here’s everything to know about the Mayers brothers as the family prepares to welcome a new addition.
RZA Athelston Mayers
Rihanna and Rocky welcomed their first child, RZA Athelston Mayers, on May 13, 2022. The world got its first official look at the baby boy when he appeared with his parents on the cover of British Vogue in March 2023, just nine months after his birth.
“It’s everything. You really don’t remember life before, that’s the craziest thing ever,” Rihanna said about motherhood in the cover story.
The Fenty Beauty founder has always embraced life on her own terms. In her 2022 Vogue interview, she opened up about how she didn’t follow a traditional timeline when starting a family — and that was perfectly fine with her.
“I always thought it would be marriage first, then a baby,” she said at the time. “But who the f— says it has to be that way? I’m certainly not gonna let that get in the way of me being a mom.”
Now three years old, RZA is known for his calm and independent nature. In a 2025 interview with Vogue, Rocky described him as a quiet soul who “likes his books” and tends to stay to himself.
And fun fact, his name pays homage to RZA (pronounced “Rizza”), the influential rapper and producer who leads the Wu-Tang Clan
Riot Rose Mayers
The couple’s second son, Riot Rose, was born on August 1, 2023. Rihanna revealed she was pregnant again during her Super Bowl halftime show performance in February 2023, where she surprised fans with her baby bump while performing in a red bodysuit.
Now 21 months old, Riot brings a different energy to the household.
“He likes to take stuff from his brother so his brother can chase him,” Rocky shared in a 2025 interview.
Rihanna also reflected on Riot’s personality earlier this year, telling Harper’s Bazaar, “Riot, he’s just hilarious,” she told Harper’s Bazaar. “When he wakes up, he starts to squeal, scream. Not in a crying way. He just wants to sing… He’s my alarm in the morning. He’s not taking no for an answer from anyone.”
The couple introduced Riot to the world with a photo release in September 2023. Rihanna later shared with Interview Magazine that he was growing fast — even wearing clothes that belonged to RZA at age one.
“Riot is actually in all of RZA’s 1-year-old clothes already. He’s only 6 months,” she said in the April 2024 issue.
While the couple hasn’t publicly shared the meaning behind Riot’s name, fans have noticed it fits right into the family’s “R” theme: Rihanna, Rakim (A$AP Rocky’s birth name), RZA, and Riot. Rocky also released a single titled “RIOT (Rowdy Pipe’n)” shortly before their second son’s arrival.
With baby No. 3 on the way, fans are already guessing what name the couple will choose next. One thing seems likely: it’ll start with an “R.”
