Rihanna is pregnant again and expecting her third child with boyfriend A$AP Rocky, according to several sources.
The music and fashion icon confirmed the news on Monday, May 5, as she was seen leaving her New York City hotel ahead of the 2025 Met Gala.
Dressed in a gray outfit that showed off her baby bump, the star was met with cheers and congratulations from fans gathered outside.
Another clip circulating online shows a pregnant Rihanna moving through a crowd, prompting one user on X to write, “Congrats! #Rihanna is pregnant.”

The exciting reveal comes just as Rihanna’s partner, A$AP Rocky, gears up to serve as a co-chair for this year’s Met Gala. The highly anticipated event features the theme “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” inspired by Monica L. Miller’s Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity.
Rihanna’s pregnancy reveal continues her tradition of headline-making announcements. In 2023, she revealed her second pregnancy during the Super Bowl Halftime Show, and in 2022, the Met Gala honored her with a digital statue of her pregnant form displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Now, fans are watching closely to see if Rihanna will have another show-stopping moment at this year’s gala.
Rihanna and A$AP Rocky are already parents to two sons: RZA, who turns 3 this month, and Riot, who celebrated his first birthday earlier this year. In a 2024 cover interview with Interview magazine, Rihanna reflected on the idea of expanding her family. “I don’t know what God wants, but I would go for more than two,” she said. “I would try for my girl. But, of course, if it’s another boy, it’s another boy.”
Whether or not she confirms the rumors, all eyes will be on Rihanna as she hits the Met Gala carpet tonight.
