Pop superstar Rihanna recently gave fans a tantalizing hint about the gender of her third child while attending the Smurfs movie premiere with her two sons in Los Angeles on July 14.
The Diamonds singer, who is currently expecting her third baby with partner A$AP Rocky, made a heartfelt red-carpet appearance with her boys shortly after the funeral of her father in Barbados last week.
Rihanna’s Excitement at Watching Smurfs with Her Kids
During an interview with Extra at the premiere, the 37-year-old star shared her excitement about watching the movie together with her children for the first time.
“I’m excited for tonight. Tonight is going to be fun. We get to watch the movie together for the first time,” Rihanna said.
She added, “I get to watch it in its full completion. So, that should be interesting.”
A Playful Hint About Baby’s Gender
When asked if she was hoping for a baby girl this time, Rihanna kept fans guessing.
“You’ll have to wait and see,” she coyly replied but admitted, “I always wanted a girl.”
She even asked the reporter with a smile, “Are you guys gonna be so hurt if it’s a boy?”
The singer’s playful mystery only added to the excitement around her pregnancy.
Baby Name Tradition Continues?
Rihanna also revealed that her sons, RZA and Riot, are thrilled about the new baby joining the family.
“They were delighted,” she said.
