Rihanna has denied rumors that she is pregnant. The 36-year-old singer clarified that she is not expecting her third child, despite recent speculation. Rihanna, who has two sons named RZA and Riot with A$AP Rocky, addressed the rumors during the launch party for Rihanna x Fenty Hair on June 10. She mentioned a previous comment she made in an interview with Interview in April about wanting a daughter in the future.
During the Entertainment Tonight interview, Rihanna expressed her desire to have more children, including a daughter. She confirmed that she is not currently pregnant. Fans started speculating about her pregnancy when she missed the 2024 Met Gala due to the flu. Recently, she was seen in New York City wearing a T-shirt that said, "I'm retired," and holding a bag in front of her stomach.
Rihanna has always thought about motherhood, even before having her two sons. In the April interview, she mentioned that she has always known she would be a mother someday.
Rihanna shared with Ottenberg that the one thing she always wanted was motherhood, and it has been the best part of her journey so far. She didn't know how it would happen, but everything else has been a surprise.
She also talked about her relationship with A$AP, saying she knew he would be a great father to her children from the beginning of their romance. In past relationships, she felt like she tried her best but it was never enough. However, with A$AP, she felt seen, believed in, and worthy of being a mother.
Rihanna and A$AP officially started dating in late 2019. When Covid-19 hit, they spent more time together, which accelerated their relationship. Rihanna believes that Covid-19 brought them closer and helped them realize they were ready to start a family sooner than they would have otherwise.
