Rihanna made a splash at the 2025 Met Gala by announcing she’s expecting her third baby with A$AP Rocky.
Before she even walked the famous steps, Rihanna posted a photo on Instagram where she’s rocking a gray outfit, umbrella in hand, and her baby bump peeking out, thanks to a snap by Miles Diggs. When someone on the carpet tried to guess what Rihanna might wear, Rocky just laughed and said, “Rihanna’s outfit tonight is… I don’t know, whatever’s just gonna really cover her baby bump, you dig?” Their first child, RZA Athelston Mayers, was born in 2022, and then Riot showed up the year after, so their family is growing fast.
It’s kind of wild how these two always seem to pick the biggest stages to tell everyone their news. Remember when Rihanna let the world know she was pregnant during the Super Bowl halftime show in 2023? She just grinned and showed off her belly, and everyone freaked out.
Fans really love it when celebrities share surprises like this.
Even though everyone keeps asking about new Rihanna music, she hasn’t dropped an album since Anti back in 2016, but she keeps promising it’s coming. In the meantime, she performed “Lift Me Up” from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever at the Oscars last year and even got a nomination for Best Original Song, though M. M. Keeravani and Chandrabose ended up winning for “Naatu Naatu.”
There’s some good news for people waiting for new Rihanna songs—she’s going to be Smurfette in the new Smurfs movie! She’ll sing a cover of “Heaven Is a Place on Earth” and maybe some other new tracks, and the movie comes out July 18.
A$AP Rocky isn’t just hanging out in the background either. Earlier today, everyone got a first look at him in Spike Lee’s new crime movie Highest 2 Lowest, which is set in New York and stars Denzel Washington and Jeffrey Wright. It’s based on the old Kurosawa film High to Low. Rocky’s last album, Testing, came out in 2018, which feels like forever ago, honestly.
