Rihanna Announces Pregnancy with Baby No. 3 at the 2025 Met Gala
New York City—Rihanna has officially confirmed she is expecting her third child, a revelation made by her partner A$AP Rocky just before her dazzling appearance at the Met Gala on May 5, 2025. Speaking to reporters on the red carpet, Rocky playfully urged, “Rihanna’s outfit tonight is … I don’t know, whatever, just don’t cover her baby hump, you dig?"
Despite his request, Rihanna graced the event in a stylish cropped jacket and a gray corseted top, which subtly concealed her baby bump. Complementing her outfit with a floor-length skirt reminiscent of a suit jacket and a wide-brim black hat, she was a standout at the gala, which celebrated "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style."
As she made her way to speak with TODAY’s Al Roker, fans quipped references to her iconic 2007 hit "Umbrella." In good spirits, Rihanna responded, "I brought the kid!" Esteemed photographer Miles Diggs, who previously captured images of Rihanna’s first pregnancy, shared a sneak peek on Instagram earlier, showcasing her baby bump in a chic ensemble.
Rihanna and A$AP Rocky are already parents to two sons, Rza, 2, and Riot, 1. The star had teased earlier pregnancy rumors during the 2023 Super Bowl halftime show, where she revealed her baby bump in a memorable all-red outfit.
In past interviews, Rihanna has expressed hopes of "breaking generational curses" in her parenting. She shared her desire for a girl if she were to have more children, adding, “But of course if it’s another boy, it’s another boy.” Rihanna’s growing family reflects her vibrant journey as both a superstar and a devoted mother.
