Rihanna Confirms Third Pregnancy with A$AP Rocky at 2025 Met Gala
Global music icon and business mogul Rihanna is expecting her third child with rapper A$AP Rocky, as she stunningly confirmed during her appearance at the 2025 Met Gala in New York City.
The 37-year-old Fenty Beauty founder made her grand entrance as the final guest of the night, cradling her baby bump on the navy blue carpet adorned with daffodils. She wore a bold, tailored black and grey ensemble paired with a wide-brimmed hat, stealing the spotlight as cameras flashed.
Her partner, A$AP Rocky (real name Rakim Mayers), who served as co-chair of the event, confirmed the pregnancy on the red carpet. “It’s time to show the world what we’ve been cooking up,” he said with a smile, thanking reporters for their congratulations. “We’re definitely happy—and we’re glad everybody else is too.”
The couple, who already share two sons—RZA (born May 2022) and Riot (born August 2023)—have become known for their memorable pregnancy reveals. Rihanna’s first pregnancy was unveiled through a now-iconic Harlem photoshoot, while her second made headlines during her 2023 Super Bowl halftime performance.
This year’s Met Gala, themed “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” was the first since 2003 to spotlight menswear exclusively. Rihanna’s announcement added a deeply personal touch to an already historic night, drawing comparisons to past Met Gala pregnancy reveals by stars like Serena Williams and Karlie Kloss.
Speculation had already begun to swirl earlier in the day when Rihanna was spotted entering the Carlyle Hotel in an outfit that subtly concealed her midsection.
As fans eagerly await her long-anticipated next album, the latest surprise from Rihanna reminds the world that she remains a master of fashion, fame, and family milestones.
