NEW YORK — At a historic edition of the Met Gala with tons of news-making moments, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky once again stole the show.
The power couple is expecting their third child, the rapper A$AP Rocky revealed.
“It feels amazing,” said A$AP Rocky, one of the co-chairs of the gala, when reporters congratulated him on Monday after news outlets shared that the couple is expecting their third child. “We’re excited to share what we’ve been working on. We’re really happy, and it’s great to see that everyone else is happy for us too.”
A representative for Rihanna didn’t immediately return The Associated Press’ request for comment.
Photos taken of the singer Monday walking in New York showed her with what appeared to be a baby bump.
Rihanna hasn’t yet walked the Met Gala carpet.
“Honestly, it’s a blessing,” Rocky expressed to the AP. “You know, sometimes people can feel envious of others. But we’ve mostly experienced love, and we truly appreciate that. That’s what love is all about.”
The couple revealed their previous pregnancy in an equally glamorous fashion. During the 2023 Super Bowl, Rihanna took the stage for her halftime show, proudly showing off her baby bump. Their son, Riot Rose, was born later that year.
The couple’s first child, RZA, was born in May 2022.
Rocky is one of the 2025 Met Gala co-chairs of the menswear-theme event tied to the museum’s “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style. ” But his attendance at this year’s Met Gala wasn’t always a sure bet. That announcement came a couple months before the opening of his trial on firearms charges in Los Angeles. Rocky was ultimately found not guilty in mid-February.
At his trial, he showed his eye for fashion. He sported tailored suits and luxury labels throughout the proceedings. Yves Saint Laurent even put out press releases directing attention to his high-fashion court attire. He was clad in a pinstripe Saint Laurent suit for the verdict.
He’s collaborated with several designers and brands on shoes, sunglasses and clothing collections. In December, he was honored with the Cultural Innovator Award at the British Fashion Council’s Fashion Awards.
