The Met Gala this year was packed with memorable moments, and once again, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky were the stars of the night.
The rapper A$AP Rocky has shared that the couple is looking forward to welcoming their third child. “It’s amazing,” he expressed to reporters who congratulated him on this exciting news. “Now is the time to show people what we’re cooking, and it’s great that everyone is happy for us because we’re definitely happy.”
A report from TMZ confirmed that Rihanna and A$AP Rocky are indeed hoping to expand their family.
At this time, Rihanna’s representative has not yet responded to inquiries from the Associated Press.
A recent photo of Rihanna taken in New York suggested she may have a baby bump, which has sparked further speculation.
Later in the evening, Rihanna graced the Met Gala carpet in a stylish pinstripe ensemble topped with a grand hat.
“Honestly, that’s a blessing,” Rocky commented to the Associated Press. “We know that not everyone has such support in their lives. But we have seen so much love, and we truly appreciate it.”
The couple first revealed their previous pregnancy in a similarly glamorous fashion, with Rihanna showing off her baby bump during her halftime performance at the 2023 Super Bowl. Their son, Riot Rose, was born later that year.
The pair’s first child, RZA, arrived in May 2022.
Rocky, who was a co-chair for the Met Gala this year—focused on menswear and its connection to the museum—had a more uncertain attendance due to an upcoming trial related to firearms charges in Los Angeles, from which he was later acquitted in February.
During his trial, he made quite a fashion statement with tailored suits and designer pieces. Yves Saint Laurent even released a statement highlighting his stylish coat outfits. For the verdict, Rocky wore a pinstriped suit from Saint Laurent.
He collaborates with various designers on footwear, eyewear, and apparel collections. In December, he was honored with the Cultural Innovator Award at the British Fashion Council Fashion Awards.
