Title: Rihanna Announces Pregnancy at the 2025 Met Gala, Her Third Child on the Way

In a stunning reveal, Rihanna, songstress and Fenty Beauty queen, announced that she's expecting her third child at the 2025 Met Gala on Monday. A vision in a custom-designed Marc Jacobs suit, the singer proudly displayed her baby bump on the red carpet steps with her boyfriend, ASAP Rocky, one of the event co-chairs.

Snaps from Miles Diggs, Rihanna's photographer, already hinted at the secret - a picture capturing the pregnant singer braving the rain-soaked streets of New York City in a steel blue two-piece set. "A Rainy Day," Diggs captioned the image, which Rihanna immediately liked.

ASAP Rocky, confirming the happy news during the red carpet interviews, shared, "It's an amazing feeling. Another little one is on the way." However, the representative for Rihanna remained tight-lipped when The Times sent a request for confirmation.

37-year-old Rihanna and 36-year-old ASAP Rocky (also known as Rakim Athelaston Mayers) walked the Met Gala carpet two years after the birth of their second son, Riot in 2023. Rihanna famously broke the news of her second pregnancy at the Super Bowl halftime show in 2023. The power couple, who began dating in 2019, welcomed their first son, RZA (named after the Wu Tang Clan founding member), in 2022.

Amidst scores of entertainers, artists, and entrepreneurs, Rihanna and ASAP Rocky brought a touch of glamour to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. This year, the Met Gala celebrated the Costume Institute's upcoming exhibition, "SuaveFiné: Tailoring Black Swag," an homage to Black fashion sensibilities, specifically tailoring.

Steeped in a legacy of cultural importance, the exhibition is inspired by Monica L. Miller's 2009 book, "Slavery to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Fashioning of Black Diasporic Identity." In this book, Miller examines the impact of Black dandyism on fashion and identity formation, exploring its role in shaping Black aesthetics and providing a means of cultural expression. This exhibition, due for viewing from May 10 to October 26, invites visitors to explore the profound influence of Black style on international fashion trends.

Colman Domingo, Lewis Hamilton, Pharrell Williams, and Anna Wintour co-chaired this coveted event. Despite a Lakers injury, LeBron James was initially slated as an honorary co-chair but was unable to attend.

Recently, Rihanna and ASAP Rocky made news for a different reason, appearing together in a Los Angeles courtroom. ASAP Rocky was on trial for charges of shooting his former friend and ASAP Mob member, Terrell Ephron, aka ASAP Relli, in 2021. ASAP Rocky was acquitted of both assault charges, with Rihanna attending several days of the month-long trial and even bringing their children to the closing arguments.

Following her motherhood journey, Rihanna has openly talked about building a large family. In a 2024 Interview magazine cover story, the singer expressed her delight at starting a family, stating, "Life as a mother is the best gift ever received."

"When someone deeply understands you and values you, it's an incredible feeling. I believe the same about him. He'll undoubtedly make a fantastic father." Rihanna added, expressing her openness to having as many children as "life intends."
