The soon-to-be mom of three is glowing as she and partner A$AP Rocky get ready to welcome another bundle of joy. But how are big brothers RZA (3) and Riot (almost 2) handling the baby news?
“They’re delighted,” Rihanna shared on the blue carpet at the recent Smurfs premiere in Los Angeles. No hesitation, no sibling jealousy just pure joy from her two boys.
Though the superstar hasn’t confirmed the baby’s gender, she did let a little wish slip, “I’ve always wanted a girl,” she admitted. “But God knows best, right? And I love my boys.”
Whether she’s adding another little prince or a long-awaited princess to the family, one thing’s for sure, this baby will be wrapped in love.
In a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight, Rihanna also teased that she and Rocky already know the first letter of baby number three’s name, and just like siblings RZA and Riot, it’ll start with an “R.”
“It’s always going to be an R name. That’s the one thing me and Rocky don’t fight over,” she said with a laugh.
A source close to the couple told People Magazine that Rihanna and Rocky are soaking in every minute of this new chapter. “They couldn’t be more thrilled to be growing their family again with baby number three,” the insider shared. “They’ve really embraced this chapter and their bond has only deepened since becoming parents.”
And if you’re wondering what kind of dad A$AP Rocky is? According to the source, Rocky is all in when it comes to parenting: “He’s so hands-on with RZA and Riot—changing diapers, doing bedtime routines, and keeping them entertained so Rihanna can rest. He’s completely tuned into her needs.”
As for the Fenty-icon herself, she’s finally able to let that iconic belly breathe. “I feel a lot better that I don’t have to suck my stomach in anymore,” she joked to Access Hollywood on the Met Gala carpet.
Whether it’s baby number one or baby number three, Rihanna continues to give us everything. And we are definitely here for it and cannot wait to meet the new addition to the family!
