Gladness Gideon
Global music icon and fashion trailblazer Rihanna made yet another unforgettable entrance at the 2025 Met Gala, revealing to the world that she is expecting her third child with rapper and longtime partner, A$AP Rocky.
The 37-year-old singer and Fenty Beauty founder debuted her baby bump ahead of her red carpet appearance in a striking portrait shared by photographer Miles Diggs. Embracing the gala’s “Black Dandy” theme, Rihanna wore a tailored gray Miu Miu blouse and skirt, paired with knee-high boots, a fur stole, and a chic black cloche hat — her growing belly visibly outlined beneath the fitted ensemble.
A$AP Rocky, one of the evening’s co-chairs, later confirmed the pregnancy news while speaking to reporters at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. “Thank you, thank you, thank you,” he responded to congratulatory messages. “I’m glad everybody’s happy for us because we’re definitely happy.”
Rihanna made her red carpet appearance fashionably late, arriving after all other guests in a bold, deconstructed black look featuring a cropped jacket, polka dot accents, and a wide-brimmed hat. Beaming as she gently cradled her bump, the Grammy winner solidified her status as both a style icon and a master of the moment.

This marks Rihanna’s third high-profile pregnancy reveal — the first being during her electrifying Super Bowl halftime performance in 2023. She and A$AP Rocky are already parents to sons RZA, born in May 2022, and Riot, born in August 2023.
The Met Gala has increasingly become a stage for baby news, with Serena Williams and Karlie Kloss famously showcasing their own baby bumps at the annual fashion event. Rihanna’s reveal adds to the growing list of iconic maternity moments to grace the Met steps.
With another baby on the way and her fashion legacy firmly intact, Rihanna once again proves that when it comes to making headlines — she reigns supreme.
