Congratulations are in order for Rihanna and A$AP Rocky, who have welcomed their third baby and first daughter!
Rihanna revealed on Wednesday (Sept. 24) that Rocki Irish Mayers was born on Sept. 13. She posted a picture of herself holding a pretty-in-pick Rocki while later showing off a solo shot of her silk pink boxing gloves.
Rocky said in his Elle cover story that was published Tuesday (Sept. 23) that the couple was hoping “it’s a girl. I really do. We’re praying for a girl.” In June, played off his accidental gender reveal while speaking to Entertainment Tonight at the Brussels premiere of the Smurfs movie Rihanna stars in. When asked whether the baby was “the girl [he’s] been waiting for,” the Don’t Be Dumb MC smiled and nodded in response before holding up a Smurfette plushie. “Right here, right here!” he chuckled.
Ri and Rocky already have two sons together, three-year-old RZA and two-year-old Riot Rose, and Rocki continues the family tradition of “R” names – despite her father’s recent comments about potentially deviating to a “D” name. In his recent GQ interview, Rocky said he would name their third child Denzel after his Highest 2 Lowest co-star Denzel Washington “no matter what. The first female come out named Denzel, it’s lit. We got it figured out,” he said at the time.
Rihanna revealed they were expecting their third child in true BadGirlRiRi fashion while closing out the carpet at the 2025 Met Gala.
