At the highly anticipated 2025 Met Gala, held on May 5 at New York City’s Metropolitan Museum of Art, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky made a grand entrance that sparked headlines across the globe. The power couple not only turned heads with their high-fashion looks but also revealed they are expecting their third child. The announcement came as a surprise to the public but was preceded by subtle clues dropped among close friends and colleagues.
Rihanna Debuts Baby Bump on the Met Gala Carpet
Dressed in a custom Marc Jacobs couture piece that elegantly embraced the night’s theme—”Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion”—Rihanna, 37, proudly showcased her baby bump on the iconic blue carpet. The ensemble featured a sharply tailored white coat with sculptural rosettes and a matching gown that highlighted her figure.
This marked a special moment for the Fenty Beauty founder, who confessed in a red-carpet interview with Access Hollywood that she was relieved to finally let go of the effort of hiding her pregnancy in public.
The singer looked radiant, posing confidently for the cameras with A$AP Rocky, 36, by her side. Rocky, wearing a formal ensemble inspired by classic Black tiewear, walked proudly with Rihanna—an especially notable moment given his role as an official co-chair for this year’s Met Gala.
A$AP Rocky Dropped Pregnancy Clues to Anna Wintour Before the Gala
The reveal at the Gala was a surprise for the public, but Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour shared that the couple had already hinted at the pregnancy during a private dinner the night before the event.
During an appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers on May 7, Wintour said:
“Rihanna and Rocky and I and some other people actually had dinner the night before the Met, and he was dropping all these hints. And I was being really English and not saying anything.”
The lighthearted exchange offered fans a rare behind-the-scenes glimpse of how the big reveal was almost spoiled, but carefully kept under wraps by one of the event’s key organizers.
Rihanna Opens Up About How She’s Feeling During Her Third Pregnancy
During a separate interview with Entertainment Tonight, Rihanna shared how she was coping with this pregnancy compared to her previous two.
“I’m shockingly feeling okay and not too overwhelmed at the moment,” she said.
She acknowledged the initial emotional weight of a third pregnancy:
“At first, it was kinda like, ‘Ah!’ And I’m tired, but then I’m excited.”
The pop icon and fashion mogul also reassured fans who are eagerly awaiting her long-anticipated ninth studio album:
“No. Maybe a couple [music] videos, but I can sing!”
This clarification was welcome news for her global fanbase, many of whom have been waiting nearly a decade since her last full-length album, Anti, released in 2016.
A$AP Rocky on Fatherhood: “It Feels Amazing”
A$AP Rocky echoed Rihanna’s joy when speaking to the Associated Press, saying that the couple was thrilled to expand their family.
Rocky and Rihanna are already parents to two sons: RZA Athelston, who turns three this month, and Riot Rose, now 21 months old. Both children have already made appearances in family photoshoots and have been part of their parents’ glamorous public lives.
A Heartfelt Reunion with Ciara at the Gala
In another standout moment of the evening, Rihanna was seen reuniting with Ciara, the “Level Up” singer and fellow mom of four. The warm interaction marked a significant moment, especially considering their very public Twitter feud from back in 2011.
Ciara, 39, opened up about the encounter on the Sherri Shepherd Show on May 6.
She also shared that she, Rihanna, A$AP Rocky, and her husband, NFL quarterback Russell Wilson, shared some laughs while joking about their growing families.
The reunion was widely celebrated by fans online as a powerful example of women supporting each other through motherhood and career growth.
Simone Biles Finds the Met Gala More Intimidating Than the Olympics
Another delightful anecdote shared during Anna Wintour’s interview with Seth Meyers involved Olympic gymnast Simone Biles, who attended the event with husband Jonathan Owens.
Biles wore a striking blue mini-dress and brought her signature athletic poise to the event. The comment highlighted the grandeur and pressure of the Met Gala, even for someone who’s won multiple Olympic medals.
What’s Next for Rihanna?
With another baby on the way and ongoing projects in music, fashion, and beauty, Rihanna continues to balance motherhood and her career with grace. Her previous comments to British Vogue in 2023 revealed that she would be happy having up to four children—and with baby number three on the way, she’s well on her path.
Whether it’s new music, bold fashion statements, or family updates, the world continues to watch and celebrate this next chapter in Rihanna and A$AP Rocky’s journey.
