In 2023, the “Diamonds” singer revealed she was expecting her second child, Riot, during her Super Bowl LVII Halftime show performance.

But this time around, she kept her pregnancy hidden until she debuted her baby bump at the 2025 Met Gala. She also never revealed details about the gender of the child, however, Rocky hinted that it might be a girl at the global premiere of “Smurfs” in June, where Rihanna stars as the voice of Smurfette.

Concerning the little one’s name, Rihanna said, “It’s always going to be an R name. That’s the one thing me and Rocky don’t fight over.”

The couple have have been together since 2020 after years of friendship.
