Singer and entrepreneur Rihanna has officially revealed that she is pregnant with her third child while attending the prestigious Met Gala in New York City. The 37-year-old took to the red carpet, cradling her growing baby bump and beaming at the cameras on a navy carpet adorned with daffodils.
Rihanna, whose real name is Robyn Fenty, and her partner, rapper A$AP Rocky, already share two sons—RZA, born in May 2022, and Riot, born in August 2023. As the couple enjoyed their moment in the spotlight, A$AP Rocky expressed gratitude to the reporters who extended their congratulations, saying, "It is time to just show the people what we were cooking up."
The Met Gala serves as the annual benefit for the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, marking the debut of its upcoming fashion exhibition. This year's theme, "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style," features menswear and marks a return to the focus on male fashion since 2003. As a co-chair of the event, A$AP Rocky confirmed the couple's joyous news amidst the evening's festivities.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you," he remarked. "I'm glad everybody's happy for us because we're definitely happy."
Speculation surrounding Rihanna's pregnancy began to circulate when she was spotted entering the Carlyle Hotel prior to the gala. Known for her distinctive approach to pregnancy announcements, she made headlines with both her first and second pregnancies—a striking photoshoot in Harlem for her first and a surprise reveal during her Super Bowl halftime performance for her second. Rihanna joins a list of stars who have made baby bump revelations at the Met Gala, including Serena Williams and Karlie Kloss, creating memorable moments at this iconic fashion event.
