Rihanna just turned the 2025 Met Gala into a full-blown maternity moment, again.
The music and fashion icon revealed she’s pregnant with baby No. 3 during the event in New York City on May 5, making headlines before she even hit the red carpet. Rihanna, 37, showed off her baby bump in a stunning, rain-soaked snapshot taken by her go-to photographer, Miles Diggs, who shared the surprise reveal on Instagram ahead of her entrance. And yep, fans lost it instantly.
The singer and her longtime partner, A$AP Rocky, 36, are already parents to two adorable sons, RZA Athelston, who turns three this month, and Riot Rose, who’s 21 months old. The couple has always kept their family moments special, but Rihanna’s pregnancy reveals have practically become iconic. Who could forget her jaw-dropping Super Bowl 2023 Halftime Show, where she casually rubbed her belly mid-performance and made history as the first visibly pregnant woman to headline the event?
This latest reveal at the Met Gala only adds to Rihanna’s growing list of unforgettable moments. She’s made it clear that motherhood means everything to her, and in her December 2023 chat with Page Six, she opened up about how much deeper her love for Rocky has grown since becoming parents. “I love him differently as a dad. This is major, major… it’s a turn-on,” she said. “My kids are obsessed with him.”
Even Rocky knows their best collaborations have been offstage. In a November 2023 Complex interview, he was asked if he and Rihanna might link up on a project at Puma, where they both work as creative directors. His answer? “I think we do a really great job at collaborating and making children. I think that’s our best creation so far.” Safe to say, they’re sticking to what works.
Rihanna first went public with her motherhood journey back in January 2022, debuting her bump in an unforgettable street-style moment in NYC. From that point on, she’s embraced the role wholeheartedly and even hinted at wanting a big family. In an April 2024 Interview Magazine feature, she said she’s open to “as many as God wants” when asked how many more kids she hopes to have. She added she’d love to try for a girl, but if it’s another boy, she’s more than cool with that too.
Whether it’s high fashion or high-profile baby reveals, Rihanna knows how to command a moment, and baby No. 3 already feels iconic.
