Rihanna and A$AP Rocky’s son was welcomed into the world on May 13, 2022, christened as RZA Athelston Mayers, a nod to the Wu-Tang Clan leader, RZA. Keeping the birth low-key, Rihanna finally gave fans a peek at their little one through an Instagram video after months of anticipation.

Surprising fans even more, during her Super Bowl halftime performance in February 2023, Rihanna announced that she and A$AP Rocky were expecting their second child. When asked about potential names for their firstborn, Rihanna’s father joked that he couldn’t reveal them, teasing that Rihanna would not be pleased if he did.

In a candid moment with Vogue, Rihanna shared that while she had always imagined getting married before starting a family, becoming a mother was a priority regardless of marital status. The news of their first child was a surprise, but Rihanna fondly recalled the moment she shared it with A$AP Rocky and their subsequent journey.

Speaking at the Met Gala, Rihanna expressed her joy and excitement about her second pregnancy, noting that it felt different from her first. Both she and A$AP Rocky showered praises on their baby boy, expressing their love and happiness at being parents.

Their relationship, blossoming from a deep friendship into a romantic partnership, has weathered the challenges of the COVID-19 quarantine, strengthening their bond. Despite their past relationships with other notable figures, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky’s connection appears to be thriving, fueled by shared experiences and the joy of parenthood.
