Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, she expressed her admiration: “I left my kids [their sons RZA and Riot] to be here. I’m super proud of their dad. That’s my baby daddy. He’s always influenced the fashion game with his unique style, inspiring designers without getting the credit he deserves. Tonight feels like the recognition he’s long overdue, and I’m proud to stand by his side.”

Rihanna has long admired Rocky’s sense of style, as she shared in an April interview with Interview magazine: “We’ve always seen fashion and creativity the same way. We supported each other’s brands and ideas long before we were together. I’d wear his designs, and he’d show up to my launches.”
Reflecting on their relationship, Rihanna added, “We’ve known each other for years, through relationships and single lives. When we started dating [in late 2019], it was with caution. I thought, ‘This could go either way—it might wilt or it might blossom.’ I decided to let it grow on its own terms, and here we are.”
Rihanna and Rocky’s shared admiration for each other, both personally and professionally, continues to captivate fans and solidify their status as a power couple.
