Rihanna and A$AP Rocky are preparing to expand their family once again, with the superstar couple now expecting their third child. The exciting news follows a turbulent year for the pair, marked by the stress of Rocky’s highly publicized legal trial, which concluded earlier this year.
The couple made the joyful announcement during their much-anticipated appearance at the 2025 Met Gala, where Rihanna debuted her baby bump on the red carpet. The moment symbolized not only a new beginning for their growing family but also relief after months of personal strain.
An insider revealed to People Magazine that the year leading up to this announcement was emotionally taxing. “Rocky’s trial cast a heavy shadow. It was a tough time for both of them,” the source shared. “This pregnancy feels like a blessing after all they’ve been through.”
Rihanna, 37, was reportedly glowing at the event, and sources close to the couple say she’s in great spirits. “She looks radiant and happy. Rocky, as always, is incredibly supportive and attentive,” the insider added.
With Rocky’s trial officially behind them as of February, the couple has taken time to focus on their personal lives and spend more time with their children. “They’ve really embraced family time recently,” the source noted. “They both love being parents, and another baby was something they were genuinely hoping for.”
The “Diamonds” singer and the 36-year-old rapper are already known for being hands-on parents. “Rihanna is playful and loving with the kids, and Rocky is the same. They balance each other beautifully,” said the insider.
Ahead of the Met Gala, Rocky also hinted at the exciting news during an interview with the Associated Press, saying, “It feels amazing. We wanted to show everyone what we’ve been working on.” He continued, “We’re happy, and it’s even better seeing everyone else happy for us too.”
As they step into this next chapter, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky are embracing both parenthood and peace, grateful for brighter days ahead.
