Barbadian singer and multiple award winner, Robyn Rihanna Fenty, better known as Rihanna is expecting her first child with rapper boyfriend, Rakim Athelaston Mayers otherwise known as A$AP Rocky.

The soon-to-be mother was seen showing off her open baby bump during an outing in Harlem, boyfriend’s hometown in New York, over the weekend.

In the viral photos seen on social media, Rihanna was pictured wearing a bubblegum pink puffer jacket and jeans with her bump.

Also, the soon-to-be dad was also be seen placing his hands over her bump as the couple stopped to share a kiss.

This will be Rihanna and Rocky’s first child together.

Meanwhile, the pregnancy rumors first sparked in November, after the singer was named a national hero in her native Barbados. She had worn a tight-fitting gown when she was to accept the award.

However, Rihanna and Rocky were first reported to be dating in December 2020 after being longtime friends.

The rapper had served as an opening act for the US dates of her Diamonds World Tour in 2013.

Rocky was also featured on her track ‘Cockiness’, while the pair were spotted in 2018 attending a Louis Vuitton fashion show in Paris.

It can be recalled that Rihanna had in March 2020 spoken about her plans to have kids in the next 10 years with or without a partner.

“Ten years? I’ll be 42! I’ll be ancient. I’ll have kids—three or four of ’em,” she had said.

In August last year, Forbes had declared the Fenty Beauty mogul as a billionaire with an estimated net worth of $1.7 billion.

Rihanna had previously dated Chris Brown, Drake, and Hassan Jameel, a fellow billionaire.
