Rihanna Confirms Her Third Pregnancy At The Met Gala
Rihanna has once again turned fashion’s grandest stage into her runway, with a reveal that stopped the press. The 37-year-old global superstar confirmed she’s expecting her third child. At the same time, she closed the 2025 Met Gala, arriving fashionably late.
The diva wore a sculptural, floor-length ensemble with clean tailoring and a bold, wide-brimmed hat. Also, the Fenty Beauty mogul struck a poised figure as she gently cradled her baby bump. This year’s red carpet, or rather a navy-blue walkway adorned with bright daffodils, served as a scene for her surprise announcement.
Rihanna’s arrival capped off an evening celebrating the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute. Also, the debut of its latest exhibit, Superfine: Tailoring Black Style. The theme, a striking tribute to the elegance and innovation of menswear through a Black cultural lens, marked the first Met Gala in over two decades to center exclusively on male fashion.
A$AP Rocky, born Rakim Mayers, joined his partner in the spotlight. He thanked reporters and fans as the couple shared their joy publicly for the first time. “It is time to just show the people what we were cooking up,” the rapper quipped. A$AP nodded to the buzz their appearance had stirred before their grand entrance.
“Thank you, thank you, thank you,” he added, basking in the glow of congratulations. “I’m glad everybody’s happy for us, because we’re definitely happy.”
Rihanna and Her Pregnancy Announcements
The couple is already parents to two sons, RZA, born in May 2022, and Riot, born in August 2023. They seem to have made a habit of redefining how celebrity pregnancies are announced. Rihanna’s flair for high-impact reveals has become part of her brand. She first shared news of her motherhood journey with a Harlem photoshoot alongside A$AP in early 2022. After which came a shocking confirmation during her 2023 Super Bowl halftime show performance.
Their reveal of the third pregnancy becomes the most important moment of the Met Gala 2025. Joining Serena Williams and Karlie Kloss, who also chose the iconic fundraiser to debut their baby bumps in 2023.
With her third pregnancy now public, Rihanna continues blending fashion, music, and motherhood with the charisma and confidence that only she can deliver, leaving little doubt that, once again, the night belonged to her.
