Rihanna has confirmed that she is expecting her third child during her appearance at the 2025 Met Gala. The 37-year-old singer, known for hits like We Found Love, revealed her baby bump while stepping onto the floral carpet at the event on May 5. She is already a mother to two sons, RZA, 2, and Riot, 21 months, with rapper A$AP Rocky. The announcement came shortly after a portrait taken by photographer Miles Diggs revealed the exciting news.
Rihanna’s Grand Entrance at the Met Gala
Rihanna made a late arrival to the prestigious event, which took place at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The theme for this year’s gala was Superfine: Tailoring Black Style, and Rihanna’s attire reflected the high fashion of the evening. She wore a grey bustier paired with a floor-length black skirt by designer Marc Jacobs. Her baby bump was visible as she walked the floral carpet, marking a special moment for her fans.
Though Rihanna arrived after the floral carpet event had ended, her partner, A$AP Rocky, was already present. He had co-chaired the 2025 Met Gala and had been greeted by several reporters. When news of the couple’s third pregnancy broke, he graciously received congratulations from the media. He shared his excitement, saying he was happy for their growing family and grateful for the support from fans.
A$AP Rocky Shares His Excitement
The 35-year-old rapper was dressed in a custom navy suit he designed himself, paired with Christian Louboutin shoes, as he stood by Rihanna at the event. He expressed his happiness, saying he was glad to see people excited about the news of their third child. This isn’t the first time Rihanna has used a major public event to announce her pregnancy. In February 2023, she revealed she was expecting her second child, Riot, during her performance at the Super Bowl Halftime Show. The star has a history of sharing significant moments of her personal life with the world, including the birth of her first son, RZA.
A Strong Family Bond

In an interview with British Vogue in February 2023, Rihanna shared how the birth of their first child had brought them closer together. She described how becoming parents had changed their relationship in positive ways, saying that it made them even closer as a couple. Rihanna also mentioned that the journey of parenting, while challenging, had strengthened their bond.
Rihanna’s words reflected the deep bond she and Rocky share as they navigate parenthood together. With the news of their third pregnancy, their growing family has become an even more significant chapter in their lives.
A Growing Family for the Power Couple
As Rihanna and A$AP Rocky prepare to welcome their third child, fans are celebrating the couple’s growing family. Their public display of affection for each other and their commitment to being strong partners and parents has made them a beloved duo in the entertainment industry.
Rihanna, whose career continues to flourish, has always been a strong figure of empowerment and grace, both on stage and off. As a successful singer, entrepreneur, and now mother of three, she continues to inspire others with her journey.
