Ace singer and business mogul, Rihanna is expecting her first child with her boyfriend, ASAP Rocky. The 33-year-old singer confirmed the news as she proudly showed off her baby bump in a stunning photoshoot.
The mum-to-be braved the freezing temperatures as she unbuttoned her pink coat to allow photographers to get the first glimpse of her pregnant belly.
The stylish mum-to-be adorned her bare bump with an elegant gold cross chain which trailed down to her low-rise ripped jeans.
According to reports, during the walk, Rihanna’s boyfriend, ASAP Rocky, who hails from New York, was seen leaning in to give his expectant girlfriend a tender kiss on the forehead. The couple enjoyed a stroll in the snowy air before heading back to their apartment hand-in-hand, reports indicated.
It can be recalled that the ‘Umbrella’ singer officially announced dating rapper ASAP Rocky in 2020.
Well, rumors about the couple expecting their first baby have been swirling for weeks after Rihanna was spotted in New York wearing oversized dresses and sweatshirts. Despite the speculation, Rihanna shut down rumors she was pregnant in December when quizzed by fans.
“Can I come to the baby shower sis!? True or not your babies are going to be beautiful. Sorry, everyone’s up in your uterus right now,” one fan tweeted her.
Rihanna cheekily responded: “Ha! Stop! You didn’t come to the first 10 baby showers! Y’all breed me every year dammit lol”.
The baby will be the first for Rihanna and ASAP, who made their first public appearance at the Met Gala in September 2021. Last year, the rapper described Rihanna as “the love of his life” as he gushed about their special bond.
“She amounts to probably, like, a million of the other ones. I think when you know, you know. She’s the one”.

Talking about becoming a father in the future, the rapper replied: “I think I’d be an incredible, remarkably overall amazing dad. I would have a very ‘fly’ child; very”.
For Rihanna, she previously told British Vogue that she hoped to have “three or four kids” by the time she was 40. When asked where she would be in ten years, she replied: “Ten years? I’ll be 42! I’ll be ancient. I’ll have kids – three or four of them”.
The singer also noted that she was open to having children as a single mum.
“Hell, yeah, [I’d have kids on my own]. I feel like society makes me want to feel like, ‘Oh, you got it wrong’. They diminish you as a mother if there’s not a dad in your kids’ lives. But the only thing that matters is happiness, that’s the only healthy relationship between a parent and a child. That’s the only thing that can raise a child truly, is love”.

Before finding love with ASAP, Rihanna was linked to a string of high-profile men. She dated Chris Brown in 2007 until the pair broke up in 2009 after the musician allegedly assaulted her.
Rihanna was later linked to Drake, Leonardo DiCaprio, and even Travis Scott, who went on to have a child with Kylie Jenner.
