Rihanna Confirms Third Pregnancy with Met Gala 2025 Baby Bump Reveal
Rihanna may be fashionably late, but she always knows how to shut down a red carpet.
At around 10 p.m. on May 5—hours after the Vogue livestream ended—Rihanna finally made her highly anticipated Met Gala entrance. And yes, she did it with style and surprise: a baby bump on full display, confirming her third pregnancy with A$AP Rocky.
The couple already share two sons, RZA Athelston Mayers and Riot Rose Mayers, born in 2022 and 2023. Now, baby number three is on the way, announced in the most Rihanna way possible.
Late Arrival, Big Reveal
Rihanna broke her own Met Gala tardiness record, arriving later than her 10:15 p.m. entrance in 2023. This time, she showed up in a Marc Jacobs menswear-inspired look that blended structure and statement. The outfit featured:
- A pinstriped corset hugging her bump
- A dramatic oversized floppy hat
- A skirt made from a deconstructed suit jacket
- A cropped blazer and polka-dot bow tie
- Vintage-style black and white pumps
The ensemble matched the night’s theme, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.” And it sparked immediate buzz across social media, with fans calling her look “a win” and “iconic.”
A$AP Rocky Speaks Out
While Rihanna made a showstopping entrance, A$AP Rocky was already on the carpet earlier in the evening. As one of the Met Gala’s co-chairs, he confirmed the pregnancy to reporters.
“It feels amazing,” Rocky said. “We were tired of holding that, and it was time to show the people what we was cooking up.”
He also shared appreciation for the love they’ve received, noting, “We’re real receptive to that. That’s love. Love is love.”
Third Time’s a Statement
This marks Rihanna’s third creative pregnancy reveal:
- The first was a NYC stroll in 2022 with her bump proudly visible.
- The second happened onstage at the 2023 Super Bowl halftime show.
- Now, the third arrives at fashion’s most-watched event.
Rihanna isn’t the only celebrity to debut a baby bump on the Met carpet. Serena Williams and Karlie Kloss did the same in 2023. But leave it to Rihanna to close the carpet and steal the spotlight.
A Night to Remember for the Couple
This year’s Met Gala wasn’t just another event for Rihanna and Rocky. It was a celebration of family, fashion, and joy. And despite arriving after most stars had already left, Rihanna proved again that she doesn’t need to be first to make headlines—just last and best-dressed.
