The BRICS TimesRihanna and A$AP Rocky celebrate arrival of their daughter, sharing the first glimpse with fans online
Pop icon Rihanna has welcomed her third child, this time a baby girl, with long-time partner A$AP Rocky.
The newborn carries a name inspired by her father’s stage identity, with only a single letter changed.
Rihanna revealed the news on Instagram, posting a heartwarming photo of herself holding her daughter. Alongside it, she shared an image of tiny pink boxing gloves. She confirmed that her daughter, Rocki Irish Mayers, was born on 13 September.
The couple already share two sons, Riot and RZA, and had previously announced Rihanna’s pregnancy in grand style at this year’s Met Gala.
The post sparked a frenzy on social media, with fans flooding the comments section. Within just two hours, the announcement received over five million likes, showing the immense love her followers have for the star.
A few weeks earlier, the Barbados-born superstar, whose real name is Robyn Fenty, celebrated two decades since her debut album’s release. Fans congratulated her but also flooded her with requests for new music. Rihanna’s last album, Anti, came out nearly a decade ago.
In recent years, the 37-year-old has expanded her empire beyond music. She successfully launched her billion-dollar Fenty Beauty cosmetics brand and her popular lingerie label, further cementing her place as a global mogul.
When she stepped onto the Met Gala carpet in May, Rihanna debuted her baby bump in a stunning custom outfit. “It is time to just show the people what we were cooking up,” she playfully told reporters.
This isn’t the first time Rihanna has revealed pregnancy news with flair. Back in 2023, she confirmed she was expecting her second child during the Super Bowl halftime show, wearing a striking red bodysuit.
The couple’s family headlines also followed A$AP Rocky’s legal battle earlier this year. In February, he was acquitted in a high-profile case where he faced allegations of firing a gun at a former friend. Rihanna, showing support, attended the trial with their two sons by his side.
With the arrival of their daughter, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky now have a beautiful trio of children, and fans are already calling this one of the sweetest celebrity moments of the year.
