THE RUNDOWN

• Rihanna is awaiting the birth of her third child.
• A source says she is a very “involved” mom to her two sons, RZA and Riot.
• She was last seen in Los Angeles on September 3.

Rihanna and her partner, A$AP Rocky, announced their third pregnancy in May, when she arrived on the Met Gala red carpet in a tailored Marc Jacobs that emphasized her baby bump. According to a source speaking with Entertainment Tonight, the ANTI singer is now very ready for baby number three to arrive and join her sons RZA and Riot Rose.

“Rihanna is such a hands-on and involved mom already, so she feels prepared for a new addition to her family,” said the insider. “She has been taking care of herself by eating well and by doing light workouts. A$AP has been taking care of her too and they have a great balance.”

At the Met Gala, Rocky confirmed the pregnancy with words as well, gushing per the AP, “It feels amazing, you know. It’s time that we show the people what we was cooking up. And I’m glad everybody’s happy for us ’cause we definitely happy, you know.”

Rihanna told Entertainment Tonight that same evening, “I’m good. I’m shockingly feeling okay and not too overwhelmed at the moment. I mean at first it was kind of like, ‘Ahhh.’”⁠

The star was seen in Los Angeles on September 3, wearing wide-legged jeans and a striped yellow T-shirt. She had her hair in loose curls swept away from her face with a pair of sunglasses. She was carrying a brown Louis Vuitton purse and wearing chunky white patent leather heels with black toes.

Throughout her three pregnancies, Rihanna has been noted for her maternity style. Her two sons are also quite well-dressed, making an appearance with their mom in July at the Smurfs premiere in Los Angeles. They were both wearing child-sized looks from Jonathan Anderson’s debut Dior Men collection.
