Iconic Singer Debuts Baby Bump in Stunning Fashion Moment

May 6, 2025 - New York City, NY - Pop superstar and fashion mogul Rihanna set the 2025 Met Gala ablaze with a show-stopping announcement: she is expecting her third child with partner A$AP Rocky. The 37-year-old singer, known for her bold pregnancy reveals, debuted her baby bump on the navy-and-daffodil carpet at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, confirming the news in a style only she could pull off.

Rihanna arrived fashionably late, as is her signature, wearing a daring monochromatic ensemble by Marc Jacobs, featuring a gray bustier, a black floor-length skirt, and a cropped black jacket that accentuated her growing bump. The look, paired with a cascading braid and a statement hat, celebrated the event’s theme, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” while stealing the spotlight with her radiant glow.

A$AP Rocky, a co-chair of the 2025 Met Gala, confirmed the couple’s joy to reporters on the red carpet. “It feels amazing, you know?” he told the Associated Press. “I’m glad everybody’s happy for us because we’re definitely happy.” His excitement echoed Rihanna’s own sentiments, as she shared with Entertainment Tonight, “I’m good, shockingly feeling okay and not too overwhelmed at the moment.” She later quipped to Access Hollywood, “I feel a lot better that I don’t have to suck my stomach in anymore,” drawing laughter from the press.

The couple, who share sons RZA, born May 2022, and Riot Rose, born August 2023, have a history of unforgettable pregnancy announcements. Rihanna revealed her first pregnancy in 2022 with a street photoshoot in Harlem, and her second during her electrifying 2023 Super Bowl halftime performance. This third reveal, teased earlier in the day by photographer Miles Diggs on Instagram with a rainy New York City snap of Rihanna cradling her bump, cements her title as the queen of iconic pregnancy moments. 

Speculation about a third child had been swirling in recent weeks, fueled by Rihanna’s appearance at The Carlyle Hotel before the Gala, where she sported a fitted gray co-ord set that hinted at her pregnancy. Fans also recalled her 2023 interview with E! News, where she playfully noted her desire for a daughter, saying, “So far, have daughters. I’m batting at 75 percent for a boy next time.” While the baby’s gender and due date remain undisclosed, sources suggest Rihanna may be over six months along, potentially welcoming her third child by late summer or early fall. 

Despite her pregnancy, Rihanna reassured fans that her creative output won’t slow down. “I can sing!” she told reporters, though she humorously added she’d prefer to skip music video appearances while pregnant. The Fenty Beauty founder continues to juggle motherhood, her business empire, and her long-awaited ninth album, which fans hope will drop soon.

As the Met Gala crowd erupted in congratulations, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky’s chemistry was undeniable, even though they opted not to pose together on the carpet. Later, at Rocky’s afterparty, Rihanna switched into another bump-baring look, joined by stars like Heidi Klum and Sabrina Carpenter, celebrating their growing family in true high-fashion form.

Rihanna’s third pregnancy announcement not only captivated the fashion world but also reaffirmed her knack for turning personal milestones into cultural moments. As the couple prepares to welcome their newest addition, fans worldwide are buzzing with excitement, eagerly awaiting what’s next for this dynamic duo.
