Rihanna stuns at the 2025 Met Gala by revealing she’s pregnant with her and A$AP Rocky’s third child, just months after celebrating their growing family and deepening relationship.
Rihanna knows how to make a moment—and this time, it’s a family affair. The music and fashion icon revealed that she and longtime partner A$AP Rocky are expecting their third child together, and she did it in true Rihanna style: by turning the 2025 Met Gala into her personal baby bump runway.

The 37-year-old singer stepped out in New York City on Monday, May 5, braving the rain to proudly debut her growing bump ahead of the star-studded event. Photographer Miles Diggs, known for capturing some of Rihanna’s most iconic street looks, shared a snapshot of the mom-to-be hours before the red carpet, giving fans a first look at the big surprise.
The couple, who began publicly dating in 2020, are already parents to sons RZA, who turns 3 this month, and Riot, now 21 months. With baby number three on the way, Rihanna’s dream of a big family is quickly becoming a reality. She previously shared her openness to expanding her brood, saying she wanted “as many [kids] as God wants me to have.”
A$AP Rocky, 36, beamed on the Met Gala carpet, where he’s also serving as a co-chair this year. Speaking with reporters, including the Associated Press, he couldn’t hide his excitement. “It feels amazing,” he said. “It’s time that we show the people what we was cooking up. And I’m glad everybody’s happy for us ’cause we definitely happy, you know.”
The pair has made no secret of the joy their growing family brings them. Back in December 2023, Rihanna opened up to Page Six about how her bond with Rocky deepened after becoming parents. “I love him differently as a dad. This is major, major … it’s a turn on,” she said. “What a leader, what a great, patient loving [man] … and my kids are obsessed with him.”
Rocky echoed that sentiment in a November 2023 interview with Complex. When asked about collaborating professionally at Puma, where both serve as creative directors, he playfully sidestepped the business talk. “I think we do a real great job at collaborating and making children,” he joked. “I think that’s our best creation so far. Nothing’s better than that.”
The 2025 Met Gala reveal follows Rihanna’s now-iconic pregnancy announcement during the Super Bowl LVII Halftime Show in February 2023. Performing while visibly pregnant with Riot, she became the first woman to headline the Halftime Show while expecting—a moment that instantly went viral. Rihanna later admitted the announcement wasn’t part of the original plan, but it turned out to be unforgettable.
Rihanna has always embraced her motherhood journey on her own terms. From her first bump reveal in January 2022 to her headline-making Super Bowl performance and now her third pregnancy reveal on fashion’s biggest night, she continues to blend personal milestones with public celebration like no one else.
With a new baby on the way, the Rihanna-Rocky family is getting even more fabulous—and fans can’t wait to watch this next chapter unfold.
