Rihanna confirmed she is expecting her third child during a glamorous appearance at the 2025 Met Gala in New York. The 37-year-old singer, known for her trendsetting fashion, cradled her baby bump while posing for photographers on the navy carpet adorned with daffodils.
Accompanied by her partner, rapper A$AP Rocky, Rihanna was the final celebrity to arrive at the event. The couple, already parents to two sons—RZA, born in May 2022, and Riot, born in August 2023—shared the happy news with the public for the first time during their red carpet appearance.
A$AP Rocky, who co-chaired this year’s Met Gala, thanked the media and expressed his joy, saying they were excited to finally share their news with the world. He added that it was time to reveal what they had been “cooking up.”

Rihanna’s outfit was a standout at the event, aligning with the theme “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” which focused on menswear for the first time since 2003. She wore a floor-length, tailored ensemble paired with a wide-brimmed hat, capturing the essence of the theme while making her pregnancy announcement.
This marks the latest in a series of high-profile pregnancy reveals by Rihanna. She first announced she was expecting in 2022 with a Harlem photoshoot with A$AP Rocky and later shared the news of her second pregnancy during her Super Bowl halftime performance in 2023. Other stars, such as Serena Williams and Karlie Kloss, have also used the Met Gala as a platform to announce their pregnancies.
