Rihanna is expecting her first child with boyfriend A$AP Rocky, PEOPLE reports. The “Diamonds” singer debuted her baby bump over the weekend in New York City while she was photographed together with her rapper boyfriend.

The Fenty Beauty mogul was wearing distressed jeans with a long pink jacket that was not buttoned at the bottom to reveal her bump.

Though the love birds have been mum about their relationship, the F**kin’ Problems rapper recently revealed the Umbrella singer is the love of his life. Asked how dating Rihanna feels like, he told GQ: “So much better. So much better when you got the One. She amounts to probably, like, a million of the other ones. I think when you know, you know. She’s the One.”

The rapper had earlier been spotted spending Christmas with Rihanna’s family in Barbados in December 2020. Rihanna previously spoke about her plans for motherhood when British Vogue asked her where she sees herself in a decade. “Ten years? I’ll be 42!” she said. “I’ll be ancient. I’ll have kids – three or four of ’em.”

The 33-year-old billionaire singer and entrepreneur founded Fenty Beauty in 2017 in her bid to create a cosmetic company that made “women everywhere (feel) included” in partnership with luxury goods company LVMH, which is run by Bernard Arnault.

The cosmetic line initially sold foundation shades and later expanded to include lipstick, lip gloss, body glitter, and more. In its first year of operation, Fenty Beauty generated more than $550 million. Forbes estimates that Rihanna has around a 15% stake in LVMH. In 2019, Rihanna became the first Black woman to create a clothing brand for LVMH called Fenty and also announced new high-end clothing, shoes, and accessories.

In 2020, she debuted on Forbes’ list of richest self-made women in America. The following year, Forbes reported that she is worth $1.7 billion, making her the wealthiest female musician in the world.
