Your bad gal Riri is now a soon-to-be momma!
Rihanna, 33, has announced that she’s expecting her first child with boyfriend A$AP Rocky. The couple made the announcement through a series of shots taken by celebrity photographer Miles Diggs, showing off the singer’s pregnant belly.
Over the weekend, the couple was photographed walking hand in hand along the snowy street of Harlem, New York, A$AP Rocky’s hometown. The Fenty mogul and “Diamonds” singer wore her long pink puffer coat unbuttoned at the bottom, revealing her growing baby bump adorned with colorful gems and a gold cross.

A$AP Rocky and Rihanna’s romance sparked from years of friendship. In the latter part of 2020, the couple reportedly confirmed that they were in a relationship.
The couple has been expressing their willingness to build a family. Rihanna once told British Vogue that she sees herself having “three or four” children within the next 10 years, whether she has a partner or not.
The rapper can also be remembered talking about fatherhood and building a family, saying that it is in his destiny, “I think I’d be an incredible, remarkably overall amazing dad. I would have a very fly child. Very.”
