Twitter user @Rochelle__Meyer also wrote in a tweet: “Rihanna’s baby took her entire face [pleading face and heart eyes emojis].”
Rihanna revealed that she was pregnant at the start of 2021 when she and A$AP Rocky were pictured going for a walk in New York City. During the stroll, the singer donned a long hot-pink coat with the bottom unbuttoned to reveal her bare baby bump.
She also took the maternity fashion world by storm after news of her pregnancy first broke, appearing at fashion weeks in Paris and Milan.
Newsweek reached out to a representative for Rihanna for comment.
