Amid rumors Rihanna and A$AP Rocky are planning for a third baby, the Fenty Hair founder—who is mom to sons RZA and Riot—told E! News what she’d like to accomplish before expanding her family.
Rihanna does not have baby number three on the brain…yet.
After all, the Fenty Beauty founder, who already shares sons RZA, 2, and Riot, 10 months, with partner A$AP Rocky, recently shared how she is hoping to spend her summer, and pregnancy is not on the agenda.
“Can I get my six-pack back first?” Rihanna joked to E! News’ Justin Sylvester at the launch for Fenty Hair June 10. “I don’t think I ever had one but still. Let me go to Carnival one summer? Please, one summer.” (For more from Rihanna’s interview, watch E! News tonight, June 11 at 11 p.m.)
And even though she’s ready for a hot girl summer, the “S&M” singer admitted that another baby—even if it’s unexpected—would not make her life a hopeless place.
“I would not be mad,” the 36-year-old shared, “I would just cry out of pure anxiety for one day and then I think I’ll just get over it the next.”
She emphasized with a laugh, “I won’t be mad, I would just be scared.”
Although she’s had two babies in two years, Rihanna has been open about how much she adores motherhood, and even alluded to plans of having more kids once she feels up for it. In fact, the Anti artist admitted that one of her lifelong dreams is to welcome a baby girl into the world.
“I’m batting at 75 percent for a boy next time,” she told E! News in December. “So, we’ll just keep our fingers crossed.”
And while pregnancy is not on the immediate horizon for the multi-hyphenate, she definitely won’t be keeping it a secret for too long when the time does come along. Indeed, Rihanna previously shared that keeping her news under wraps was one of the hardest parts of childbearing.
“It was harder for me to keep it from my posse, because they’re around me, they know my habits,” she told E! News in 2022 ahead of RZA’s birth. “Finally, I just had to let it all out, and they were all shocked, of course, as the world was shocked as well.”
And after Rihanna shocked the world not once but twice, she and A$AP have created the cutest family together. Keep reading for more details on their love story, leading up to welcoming RZA and Riot.

In 2012, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky performed their hit “Cockiness” at the MTV Video Music Awards, and their number was so good it deserved a trophy. This wouldn’t be the last time the two shared the stage as they went on tour together in 2013.

You’re not smoking?’ And I’m eating all the things I’m not used to eating. They know I hate sweets and I’m all of a sudden asking for cookies and donuts. But finally, I just had to let it all out, and they were all shocked, of course, as the world was shocked as well.”

Rihanna confirmed her romance with A$AP began at the end of 2019.
“I’ve seen him in relationships. He’s seen me in relationships,” she explained of their long history. “We knew what we’re capable of, and the trouble that we could bring to each other’s lives. We can make or break each other’s hearts. And so, we started dating with a lot of caution.”
