Rihanna Reveals Third Pregnancy at 2025 Met Gala

No one’s ever mothered this hard.

We may never get an album again, but at least Rihanna is happy. The icon revealed her baby bump on the Met Gala 2025 blue carpet Monday night. Wearing a black and gray Marc Jacobs skirt suit and black church hat to match, the singer hit the steps of the Met all smiles as her baby bump poked out.

This is her third child with boyfriend, A$AP Rocky, who was a co-chair at this year’s event. The two already have two baby boys: Rza and Riot. Rocky confirmed the news to the Associated Press, saying it felt “amazing” to drop it on Met Gala Monday.

“We’re tired of holding that and it was time to show the people what we were cooking up,” he said. “I’m glad everybody’s happy for us because we’re definitely happy.”

Rihanna stepped out in a rainy New York City earlier in the day to tease her bump in a two-piece Miu Miu outfit. She’s become known for reimagining what being a fashion doll can look like, even when pregnant.

“When I found out I was pregnant, I thought to myself: There’s no way I’m going to go shopping in no maternity aisle,” she told Vogue back in 2022. “I’m sorry—it’s too much fun to get dressed up. I’m not going to let that part disappear because my body is changing.”

The news of the third pregnancy even delighted one-time rival Ciara. The two posed together inside the Gala with Ciara cradling Rih’s baby bump and smiling. If you don’t recall, the two had an epic back-and-forth on what was still called Twitter in 2011.
