Rihanna, expecting her third child with A$AP Rocky, shares sweet insights into how her sons are reacting—and teases future naming plans.
“They’re Delighted”
July 14, 2025: At the Los Angeles premiere of her new film Smurfs—where she voices Smurfette—Rihanna opened up about how her sons RZA (3) and Riot (almost 2) feel about the upcoming arrival. In an interview at the red carpet, she shared simply:
“They’re delighted.”
Hoping for a Daughter (But Ready for Whatever’s Meant to Be)
Though Rihanna disclosed that she has “always wanted a girl,” she emphasized her love for her boys—and left the final baby reveal in God’s hands. The couple hasn’t confirmed the gender yet.
All in the “R” Family: Naming Traditions Continue
Rihanna also revealed she and A$AP Rocky have already picked out the first letter of their new baby’s name—it will begin with “R,” continuing the tradition established with RZA and Riot.
Growing Closer as a Family
Insiders say Rihanna and Rocky are “thrilled” about expanding their family, and that fatherhood has deepened their bond. Rocky has been extremely hands-on—changing diapers, managing bedtime, and letting Rihanna rest during her pregnancy.
