Pop icon and beauty mogul Rihanna has officially confirmed she is expecting her third child and, true to form, she made the announcement in the most glamorous way possible: at the 2025 Met Gala.
The singer stunned fans and fashion enthusiasts as she arrived on the red carpet, debuting a visible baby bump beneath her custom couture look. After months and months of speculation from fans, the Met appearance served as a stylish confirmation that the superstar and her partner, rapper A$AP Rocky, are expanding their family once again.
Rocky, who co-chaired the iconic fashion event, arrived early in the evening and wore a custom all-black AWGE (his label) look. Rihanna then arrived well after the carpet ended and debuted her baby bump in a grey bustier with a black floor-length skirt and cropped black jacket; all designed by Marc Jacobs.

This will be the third child for the couple, who already share two young sons named RZA and Riot. Rihanna famously revealed her second pregnancy during her headline-making performance at the 2023 Super Bowl Halftime Show, when she took to the stage in a red jumpsuit that subtly showed off her growing belly; a moment that immediately went viral.
The couple welcomed their first child in May 2022 and their second in 2023, both boys, though they've kept many details of their private life guarded. Rihanna has spoken openly about embracing motherhood, calling it “legendary” and “life-changing.”
Rihanna’s pregnancy debut, as expected, sparked a wave of reactions across social media. Even though the speculations had swirled for a while, many social media users were surprised to find out that she was pregnant, yet again.
