RIHANNA became a mother for the first time in May 2022, when she delivered a son with her boyfriend, A$AP Rocky.
Rihanna announced her second pregnancy at the 2023 Super Bowl by showing off her growing baby bump, but after her March 2024 performance at Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant's pre-wedding party in India, her fans once again began to speculate that she was pregnant with baby number three.
How many kids does Rihanna have?
Rihanna has two children with A$AP Rocky; the couple's first baby, a boy named RZA, was born on May 13, 2022.
Leading up to her Super Bowl 2023 halftime show, Rihanna dropped a surprising amount of hints that she was expecting, but no one caught them until after her rep confirmed her pregnancy following the show.
'Is Rihanna pregnant' was trending on X, formerly Twitter, after the performer wore a red bomber-style jacket that seemed to both hide and accentuate her baby bump.
