Rihanna Welcomes First Child With A$AP Rocky

Superstar singer and fashion icon Rihanna and her boyfriend A$AP Rocky welcomed their first child.

The baby boy was born on Friday, May 13, in Los Angeles, according to TMZ. Rihanna and Rocky have not commented on the reports or revealed their son's name.

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky have been friends for years and went public with their romantic relationship in May 2021.

RiRi had revealed her pregnancy in January after she shared a few pictures with People magazine. Rihanna was seen wearing a long pink winter coat with her bare baby bump on display over her light blue jeans.

In an interview with British Vogue in 2020, Rihanna had talked about her 10-year plan, which included her desire to become a mother.

"I'll have kids - three or four of 'em," the singer said. When asked whether she'd be willing to do it as a single mother, she replied "Hell, yeah."

"I feel like society makes me want to feel like, 'Oh, you got it wrong . ' They diminish you as a mother if there's not a dad in your kids' lives," Rihanna added. "But the only thing that matters is happiness - that's the only healthy relationship between a parent and a child. That's the only thing that can raise a child, truly, is love."
