Pop icon and beauty mogul Rihanna has officially confirmed she’s expecting her third child and in true Rihanna fashion, she did it with unmatched glamour at the 2025 Met Gala.
The global superstar turned heads as she arrived fashionably late to the red carpet, unveiling a visible baby bump beneath a striking custom ensemble. Dressed in a grey bustier, a black floor-length skirt, and a cropped black jacket — all designed by Marc Jacobs — Rihanna’s look served as a bold and beautiful confirmation of months of swirling speculation. Her dramatic entrance was the most talked-about moment of the evening.
Her partner, rapper and fashion trailblazer A$AP Rocky, who served as one of the night’s co-chairs, arrived earlier wearing a sleek, all-black look from his own label, AWGE. Together, the couple once again proved their mastery of fashion and fanfare.
This marks the third child for Rihanna and A$AP Rocky, who are already parents to two sons: RZA, born in May 2022, and Riot, born in 2023. Rihanna memorably revealed her second pregnancy during her headline-making 2023 Super Bowl Halftime Show performance, donning a red jumpsuit that subtly showcased her baby bump — a moment that instantly went viral.
Though they keep much of their family life private, Rihanna has spoken candidly about motherhood, calling the experience “legendary” and “life-changing.”
As expected, her surprise reveal sent shockwaves across social media. While fans had been speculating for months, many were still taken by surprise, celebrating the news and applauding Rihanna’s continued ability to redefine iconic moments.
