Rihanna is expecting baby No. 3 with A$AP Rocky, the rapper confirms at the 2025 Met Gala

Leave it to Rihanna to make fashion history and personal headlines all in one night. The global superstar and fashion icon brought the 2025 Met Gala to a standstill when she revealed that she and rapper A$AP Rocky are expecting their third child.

The Met Gala, often called fashion’s biggest night, took on even more significance when Rihanna arrived fashionably late — and with an unmistakable baby bump. Fans and photographers alike erupted with excitement as she stepped onto the red carpet in a custom Marc Jacobs ensemble that elegantly announced the newest addition to the Fenty family.

Fashion Meets Family

True to her reputation for daring maternity fashion, Rihanna wore a deconstructed wool suit jacket, a tailored gray corseted bodysuit, and a statement bustle skirt, all styled with a polka-dot cravat and dramatic headpiece. Her glowing bump took center stage — and not just figuratively. She accessorized with Cartier diamonds and custom heels, once again redefining how maternity can dominate the fashion conversation.

A$AP Rocky: Proud Partner, Co-Chair, and Dad-to-Be

A$AP Rocky, who served as a Met Gala co-chair this year, confirmed the pregnancy with pride during red carpet interviews. “It feels amazing,” he said. “It’s time that we show the people what we was cooking up.” The couple, already parents to sons RZA and Riot, continues to build their growing family with love — and plenty of style.

A Legacy of Iconic Reveals

Rihanna is no stranger to unforgettable pregnancy announcements. In 2023, she revealed her second pregnancy during her Super Bowl halftime show — a cultural moment watched by millions. Her Met Gala 2025 appearance now joins that list of iconic, show-stopping reveals.

Honoring Black Style

The 2025 Met Gala theme, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” with a focus on “Tailoring Black Style,” celebrated the influence of Black culture in fashion history. Rihanna’s look not only embodied the theme — it elevated it. She and A$AP Rocky effortlessly fused heritage, elegance, and personal narrative into a powerful red carpet statement.

Another Fenty on the Way

As fans around the world celebrate the joyous news, there’s no doubt Rihanna will continue to inspire with her signature mix of bold fashion, realness, and unapologetic joy. The queen of reinvention is adding another title to her resume: mom of three.

Congratulations to Rihanna and A$AP Rocky — and here’s to the newest little star on the way.
