Rihanna Stuns Confirms She’s Expecting Baby at the 2025 Met Gala

Rihanna has once again stolen the spotlight and our hearts by announcing that she is expecting her third child with partner ASAP Rocky. And in true Rihanna fashion, the reveal was nothing short of iconic. The global superstar made the grand announcement while gracing the navy-and-daffodil carpet at the 2025 Met Gala, cradling her baby bump with an unmistakable smile of joy and power.

The 37-year-old singer, style mogul, and beauty empire queen arrived fashionably late, last, in fact, adding even more drama to an already star-studded night. Wearing a jaw-dropping black-and-grey tailored ensemble with a wide-brimmed hat, Rihanna brought elegance, confidence, and surprise to the prestigious event.

As photographers scrambled to capture every angle, one thing was certain: Rihanna didn’t just attend the Met Gala, she owned it.

“It’s Time to Show What We Were Cooking Up”  ASAP Rocky

A$AP Rocky, born Rakim Mayers, stood proudly beside his glowing partner and confirmed the news with his trademark grin.

“Thank you, thank you, thank you,” he told reporters on the carpet. “I’m glad everybody’s happy for us because we’re definitely happy.”

He also cheekily added, “It is time to just show the people what we were cooking up,” a nod to both their baby news and their playful chemistry as a couple.

As co-chair of this year’s gala, Rocky’s spotlight was already set—but the baby announcement turned it into a full-blown celebration of Black excellence, fashion, and family legacy.

The Met Gala: A Stage Fit for Legends

This year’s Met Gala theme, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” paid homage to the artistry and cultural influence of Black fashion, particularly in menswear. And who better to represent that than A$AP Rocky, known for his boundary-pushing style, and Rihanna, a woman who defines modern glam?

While many came dressed to impress, it was Rihanna’s presence that will be remembered for years to come. Her outfit was a celebration of power and grace, tailored to perfection yet soft and maternal. It was a visual ode to the intersection of fashion and motherhood.

And this isn’t the first time Rihanna has made a headline-grabbing pregnancy reveal. Who could forget when she debuted her first pregnancy with a Harlem photoshoot in 2022? Or the moment she stunned fans during the 2023 Super Bowl halftime show by unveiling her second baby bump in front of millions?

Now, with this third child on the way, Rihanna continues to redefine what it means to be a modern woman, juggling music, fashion, business, and motherhood with unmatched poise.

From RZA to Riot—and Now Baby #3

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky are already proud parents to two sons: RZA, born in May 2022, and Riot, born in August 2023. While the couple is famously private about their children, they’ve occasionally shared glimpses of their life as a family, painting a picture of warmth, joy, and unity.

Their growing family has captured the hearts of fans around the world, and now, with a third little one on the way, the excitement has only multiplied.

A Met Gala Tradition?

Interestingly, Rihanna now joins a growing list of stars who have used the Met Gala as a platform for pregnancy reveals. Serena Williams and Karlie Kloss both announced their pregnancies at last year’s event, proving that fashion’s biggest night is also a celebration of new life.

Still, no one does it quite like Rihanna. Her Met Gala pregnancy announcement wasn’t just a personal milestone; it was a cultural moment. A performance. A statement.

And let’s face it: no red carpet reveal can top the queen of cool cradling her bump under the spotlight of flashing cameras while wearing a custom masterpiece that radiates pure power.
