Following her second pregnancy reveal at the Super Bowl half-time show in 2023, Rihanna opted for another high-profile occasion to disclose her third pregnancy.

On Monday, the celebrity caused a stir online when she was seen with a growing belly at her New York hotel prior to the Met Gala; her partner, A$AP Rocky, who arrived before Rihanna, told reporters that they are expecting their third child. The couple, who have been in a relationship since 2020, are already parents to two sons named RZA Athelston Mayers and Riot Rose Mayers.

Over time, these two individuals have become regular attendees at the Met Gala, often stealing the show with their most fashionable ensembles. This year, A$AP Rocky will be one of the co-chairs for the event, joining forces with Colman Domingo, Lewis Hamilton, Pharrell Williams, Anna Wintour, and honorary chair LeBron James. The theme for this year’s Met Gala aligns with the Costume Institute’s upcoming exhibition titled “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style“, which will be displayed from May 10 to Oct. 26.

This year saw Rihanna making her comeback to the Met Gala red carpet, having been unable to attend last year due to falling ill with the flu. A$AP Rocky, who was initially skeptical when Anna Wintour asked him to co-chair and believed it might be a joke, chose an outfit he himself designed, revealed that Rihanna would make a fashionably late appearance, thus explaining their separate arrivals, as he shared with The Hollywood Reporter.

Rocky expressed how fantastic it felt, as you can imagine,” he said on their third try, according to Associated Press. “It’s high time we demonstrate to the public what we’ve been working on. And I’m thrilled that everyone is joyful for us because we certainly are happy ourselves.

He went on to say, “Indeed, it’s a fortunate circumstance. You see, there are those who might envy others in certain situations. However, we’ve predominantly witnessed kindness. And we genuinely welcome and value that, if you catch my drift? That’s what love is about. Love, simply put, is love.
