Rihanna and A$AP Rocky were able to keep the name of their first son, RZA, hidden for almost a year before an outlet obtained his birth certificate. The couple confirmed the news shortly after on Instagram. This time, a copy of Rihanna and A$AP Rocky’s birth certificate for their second child was seen much earlier; five weeks after his birth.
Rihanna and A$AP Rocky named their youngest baby boy Riot Rose Mayers, keeping with the “R” name theme. His older brother is RZA Athelston Mayers. Notably, Rocky released a song called “Riot” earlier this year. The track’s lyrics even sparked speculation he and Rihanna could be secretly married.
“Riot” is a Leo, born on August 1, 2023, in Los Angeles at 7:41 A.M. His birth was initially reported to be August 3. Notably, Rihanna’s OB-GYN listed on the certificate, Thais Aliabadi, is famous for also working with Khloé Kardashian and Kylie Jenner.
The couple have yet to disclose what led them to choose the name Riot as their son’s name.
“Rihanna feels her family is now complete”, the source said, adding that being a parent to two children is something Rihanna always wanted.
On August 24, a source disclosed that Rihanna and A$AP Rocky plan to focus on their family immediately after their son’s arrival.
“Rihanna and A$AP will spend the early days of parenthood out of the public eye and won’t make any immediate plans to debut the new baby”, the source said. The source further added that the eventual announcement could be linked to Rihanna’s Clara Lionel Foundation, be it through an Instagram post or her sharing the news at its annual gala.
“Rihanna and A$AP are great right now. They’re so excited to grow their family and are so united when it comes to parenting. They have so much fun together and are very in love. They already shared a special connection and parenting together has made their bond even stronger”.

The return to Puma x Fenti
Global icon Rihanna and sports company Puma have officially launched their newest product franchise together. Rihanna returns to the brand as the creative director of Fenty x Puma with a multi-year partnership and several product launches in the pipeline.
Rihanna and Puma have a history of launching disruptive fashion takes on sports styles over the course of their relationship together – starting in 2015 with the iconic Creeper. Rihanna and Puma launched several footwear and apparel collections over the course of 2015 – 2018, including the Fenty x Puma trainer, the Fenty x Puma fur slide, and much more.
With four fashion shows in both New York and Paris, Fenty x Puma served as a catalyst for Puma’s brand impact and relevance over the past decade.
Rihanna’s love of football coupled with the sport’s great influence off the pitch served as the starting point for this footwear franchise. Rihanna’s take on this classic style paves the way for a new era of sports fashion collaborations with Puma.
In addition, it was important to both Rihanna and Puma to ensure that this launch be offered to the entire family – delivering a collection that looks as arguably cool on kids as it will on their parents. Worn by legends and now remixed by Rihanna herself, the Avanti is also being offered as a unisex shoe for both adults and kids.
“I wanted to bring something iconic from the archives to the street, and the late great Pelé made the Avanti shoe so iconic”, Rihanna said.
As the creative director, Rihanna’s first Fenty x Puma campaign – shot by Dennis Leupold with a set design inspired by the pentagon shape and stitching on a football – features notable names including Rihanna, A$AP Nast, Pure, Felix Mallard as well as two young kids.
