Rihanna breaks silence over third pregnancy

Rihanna Confirms Third Pregnancy at 2025 Met Gala: ‘I’m Shockingly Feeling Okay’

Pop icon Rihanna has officially confirmed she is expecting her third child with partner A$AP Rocky. The announcement came during her appearance at the 2025 Met Gala, where she showcased her baby bump in a striking Marc Jacobs ensemble. This revelation follows her previous high-profile pregnancy announcements, including her second pregnancy revealed during the 2023 Super Bowl halftime show.

Speaking to Entertainment Tonight on the Met Gala red carpet, Rihanna shared her feelings about the pregnancy: “I’m good, shockingly feeling okay, and not too overwhelmed at the moment. At first, I was kind of like—tired but I’m excited” . A$AP Rocky, who co-chaired this year’s Met Gala, expressed his joy, stating, “It feels amazing, you know? We were tired of holding that, and it was time to show the people what we was cooking up. I’m glad everybody’s happy for us, because we’re definitely happy”.

The couple, already parents to sons RZA (turning 3 this month) and Riot (21 months), are reportedly focusing on family time as they prepare for their new addition. Despite the pregnancy, Rihanna assured fans that her long-awaited ninth album, tentatively titled “R9,” will not be delayed, although some music videos might be postponed.

Rihanna’s Met Gala appearance not only confirmed her pregnancy but also highlighted her continued influence in fashion and music. As she embarks on this new chapter, fans worldwide eagerly anticipate both her growing family and her forthcoming musical projects.
