Following Rihanna's big reveal that she is pregnant with her and A$AP Rocky's first child, Peoplespoke to multiple sources about what their relationship is like now and how Rihanna is feeling
with her pregnancy.
Rocky and Rihanna are smitten, and it was Rocky that made Rihanna feel ready to become a mother. A source close to the couple told the outlet, “Having a baby is something she was never focused on, but being with Rocky opened her up to the idea. She couldn't be happier and is so excited to be a mom. She's loving all the changes to her body during pregnancy and has always celebrated pregnant women in her runway shows for Fenty.”
“Everything Rihanna does, she does it her own way on her own time table, and having a baby is no different,” the source continued. “They're just like any other pair of parents-to-be. Yes, they happen to be famous but they're just the cutest, giddiest young couple that's expecting kids.”
Rocky has always treated Rihanna like the queen she is. A longtime friend of hers, Rocky “doted on [Rihanna]” from the “very beginning” of their romantic relationship. The two were first reported to be dating in December 2020.
“A lot of guys have tried to sweep her off her feet, but Rocky actually managed to do it,” the source said. “He's over-the-top romantic and sends her rooms full of flowers all the time. She's never felt this way before and this relationship has changed her.”
Rocky called Rihanna “the love of my life” in an interview with GQlast May. Being with her versus playing the field is“so much better,” he said. “So much better when you got the One. She amounts to probably, like, a million of the other ones. I think when you know, you know. She's the One.”
On whether he was ready to become a father, Rocky told the outlet, “If that’s in my destiny, absolutely. I think I’m already a dad! All these motherfuckers are already my sons—whatchu talkin’ ’bout!” He laughed. “Nah, but like, I think I’d be an incredible, remarkably, overall amazing dad. I would have a very fly child. Very.”
