Per TMZ, Rihanna and her boyfriend A$AP Rocky secretly welcomed their second child earlier this month. Sources told the news outlet that the singer and business mogul gave birth to a baby boy in Los Angeles on August 3.

The name of the couple’s second son is yet to be disclosed, though TMZ said it starts with an “R”. As previously reported by Face2Face Africa, the Diamonds singer revealed her second pregnancy during her performance at the Super Bowl halftime show in February.

The Fenty Beauty founder and A$AP Rocky officially welcomed their first child together on May 13, 2022. The toddler, RZA Athelston Mayers, is named after legendary Wu-Tang rapper RZA. 

After announcing her first pregnancy, Rihanna told Vogue that she decided not to shop for maternity clothes when she realized she was going to be a mother. “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. 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 35-year-old said. 

The billionaire also said pregnancy should not be hidden and believes in redefining maternity style. “My body is doing incredible things right now, and I’m not going to be ashamed of that,” she stated. “This time should feel celebratory. Because why should you be hiding your pregnancy?”
