Pop icon Rihanna and her partner A$AP Rocky have welcomed their first daughter together, marking the couple’s third child.
A Special Name
The baby girl, born on 13 September, has been named Rocki Irish Mayers, a nod to her father’s stage name with a unique twist. Rihanna shared the news on Instagram, posting a tender photo of herself cradling her daughter alongside a pair of tiny pink boxing gloves.
Growing Family
Rihanna, 37, and A$AP Rocky are already parents to two sons, Riot and RZA. The pair revealed this pregnancy in May at the Met Gala, where Rihanna debuted her baby bump in a custom outfit. Known for her dramatic reveals, the singer previously announced her second pregnancy during her 2023 Super Bowl halftime performance.
Fans Celebrate
The announcement quickly lit up social media, with Rihanna’s Instagram post gathering more than five million likes in just two hours. Fans flooded the comments with congratulations and excitement, while some also repeated their long-standing calls for new music.
Music on Hold, Empire Expands
It has been nearly a decade since Rihanna released her last album, Anti. Since then, she has focused on building her fashion and beauty empire, including Fenty Beauty and her lingerie brand Savage X Fenty. Her entrepreneurial ventures have helped her amass a fortune of more than $1 billion, according to Forbes.
A Busy Year
Beyond family celebrations, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky have both been in the spotlight this year. In February, Rocky was acquitted in a high-profile trial, with Rihanna attending court alongside their two young sons.
For now, fans appear more focused on celebrating Rihanna’s growing family, as the couple settles into life as parents of three.
