For Rihanna and A$AP Rocky, life is too good.
The “Umbrella” singer and “HIGHJACK” rapper—who are already parents to RZA, 3, and Riot, 2—welcomed a baby named Rocki Irish Mayers on Sept. 13, Rihanna announced on Instagram Sept. 24.
The mom of three shared a photo of herself cradling the newborn, who was wrapped in a pink blanket. She also posted a picture of pink boxing gloves with ribbon ties.
Ahead of the latest arrival for Rihanna, 37, and A$AP, 36, the singer shared that they’re not the only ones in the world excited about their growing family. When asked how both of their kids feel about a new sibling while at the Smurfs premiere in Los Angeles in July, Rihanna—who voices Smurfette—told Extra, “They’re delighted.”
And as for whether Rihanna and A$AP wanted another son or daughter this time around, the “Stay” artist admitted that she’s “always wanted a girl,” but was crystal clear that she will be happy when her baby arrives no matter what.
“God knows best, right?” she continued. “And I love my boys.”
Rihanna announced she was expecting the couple’s third baby in May with a portrait by photographer Miles Diggs before officially debuting her bump at the 2025 Met Gala, where A$AP served as a co-chair.
“It feels amazing, you know?” A$AP told the Associated Press at the time about becoming a dad for the third time. “We were tired of holding that, and it was time to show the people what we was cooking up. I’m glad everybody’s happy for us, because we’re definitely happy."
In addition to the couple’s happiness, Rihanna previously spoke about how being a mom to her kids RZA and Riot brought out new facets, which included helping her embrace her femininity.
"It makes me feel really cool to be a boy mom," she told E! News' Francesca Amiker in April 2024. "I get to be as casual and busted as I want to, but it also forces me to embrace the epic things about being a woman, and a female and all my femininity. I embrace it so much more now, like I wear pink."
And in terms of her relationship with A$AP, Rihanna only has love on the brain.
“We’re best friends with a baby,” the Grammy winner told British Vogue in February 2023, in reference to their oldest son. “We have to be on the same page, but we’ve always kind of had that in our relationship. Everything changes when you have a baby, but I wouldn’t say it’s done anything but made us closer.”
While Rihanna has many titles from musician to founder of Savage X Fenty, one of her favorites has been mom.
“Oh, my God, it’s legendary,” Rihanna added of motherhood. “It’s everything. You really don't remember life before, that's the craziest thing ever. You literally try to remember it–and there are photos of my life before–but the feeling, the desires, the things that you enjoy, everything, you just don't identify with it because you don't even allow yourself mentally to get that far, because…Because it doesn't matter."
As for A$AP, he too thrilled about this latest chapter of fatherhood.
"It's so unexplainable," the “Everyday” rapper described to Zane Lowe on the Apple Music 1 radio in January 2023. "It's just one of those things. I'm a member of our club now, like the dad club. You see a dad, you see me. I'm playing on, I'm a full dad now."
“You come home to heaven every day,” he continued. “I'm so thankful. God is good, man."
