NEW YORK — During an unforgettable Met Gala filled with headline-grabbing moments, all eyes were on Rihanna and A$AP Rocky as they made a grand entrance. The iconic couple had exciting news to share—they are expecting their third child. A$AP Rocky, who served as the gala’s co-chair, revealed the joyous news to reporters and expressed his delight when congratulated.
“It’s an amazing feeling,” A$AP Rocky shared, indicating how thrilled they are about the addition to their family. “We’re excited to show everyone what we’ve been up to. The support and happiness from everyone mean so much to us,” he added. Earlier, it was reported that the couple was preparing for their third child, further confirmed by photos of Rihanna taken in New York that showcased what seemed to be a baby bump.
As night descended on the Met Gala, Rihanna graced the red carpet in a striking pinstripe ensemble accented with an oversized hat, proudly displaying her baby bump. “This moment is truly a blessing,” A$AP Rocky remarked, emphasizing the gratitude they feel for the overwhelming love and support. “It’s all about love, and we’re open to receiving it,” he added warmly.
The couple previously made a similar splash when they announced their last pregnancy during the 2023 Super Bowl halftime show, with Rihanna showcasing her baby bump on stage. Their son, Riot Rose, was born later that year, following their first child, RZA, who was welcomed into the world in May 2022.
A$AP Rocky played a key role as one of the 2025 Met Gala co-chairs, an event celebrating menswear at the heart of the museum’s “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” exhibition. Despite uncertainties surrounding his attendance due to an impending trial on firearm charges, which he was acquitted of in February, he appeared at this year’s gala in full sartorial splendor. Known for his love of fashion, he showcased tailored suits and high-end labels even during court hearings.
A$AP Rocky’s influence extends beyond fashion showcases, as evidenced by his various collaborations with designers on collections for shoes, sunglasses, and clothing. Last December, he was awarded the Cultural Innovator Award at the British Fashion Council’s Fashion Awards, highlighting his significant contributions to the industry.
