Rihanna and A$AP Rocky are one of the most famous couples in the music industry, but they are also very private about their personal lives.

The couple, who have been dating since 2021, have two sons together: RZA, who was born in May 2022, and Riot, who was born in August 2023.

However, the public did not know about their second baby until recently, as the couple tried to hide the pregnancy and the birth from the media.

According to sources, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky wanted to keep their second baby a secret because they wanted to protect their family from the paparazzi and the fans.

The couple only announced their second pregnancy during Rihanna’s Super Bowl halftime show in February 2023, when she revealed her baby bump on stage.

They also did not share their son’s name or any photos of him until December 2023, when they were spotted with their two sons in Aspen, Colorado.

The couple named their second son Riot Rose Mayers, which is a unique and meaningful name. Riot is a tribute to A$AP Rocky’s new single “RIOT (ROWDY PIPE’N)”, which he released in November 2023. Rose is a reference to Rihanna’s middle name, Robyn. Mayers is A$AP Rocky’s surname, which is also shared by their older son RZA. The name Riot Rose also follows the pattern of having the first letter “R” in both of their sons’ names, which is a possible ode to a family of first names all beginning with the same letter. (A$AP Rocky’s real name is Rakim Athelaston Mayers.)
