The baby is the second child of Rihanna and rapper A$AP, 34 – real name Rakim Athelaston Mayers – after they became parents in 2022 when she gave birth to RZA Athelston Mayers on May 13.
While we don’t yet know the full name of her second child, TMZ has confirmed that it’s a son and his name starts with an ‘R’ too.
Fans have been waiting eagerly for the news that Rihanna is now a mom of two, with the A-lister being seen out and about with her bump on display plenty of times in recent weeks.

Her last Instagram post was on August 11, so it’s understandable why the internet assumed her Bubba had arrived as she went MIA.

The Barbadian singer announced she was pregnant once more in truly epic fashion during her Super Bowl LVII Halftime Show performance.
In it, she unzipped her incredible red fur coat to unveil her already blooming baby bump.
After a rep for the star confirmed the news, she gave fans a backstage glimpse of her growing youngster in a picture that showed her cradling her bump before the show.

In March this year, after revealing her second pregnancy, Rihanna posted an adorable photo of her son with his eyes brimming with tears, joking in the caption that he was upset not to be going to the Oscars with her.
‘My son when he found out his sibling is going to the Oscars and not him,’ she wrote at the time.

Just like her pregnancy with RZA, Rihanna has championed her ever-changing body in several stunning outfits that highlighted the beauty of pregnancy.
She bared her gorgeous bump during the Louis Vuitton After Show and during a swanky dinner date in France, both accompanied by her adoring partner Rocky.
He posted a touching tribute to parenthood for Father’s Day as he and Rihanna larked around in the bathroom together.
‘EVERYDAY FATHERS DAY ❤️,’ he captioned his post, which featured an array of pictures and clips from his everyday life as a dad.
Among them were a clip of him and Rihanna chilling and laughing in the bathroom, with the Rude Boy star gently twerking on command before Rocky joked he was also growing a matching bump.
In the comments, she responded to his post: ‘The Mayers boys stole my whole heart! Happy Father’s Day nerd.’
