Rihanna Reveals She’s Expecting Third Baby at 2025 Met Gala
Rihanna has once again taken the spotlight in a big way—this time by announcing her third pregnancy at the 2025 Met Gala. The music star and beauty mogul surprised fans with the news before even stepping onto the red carpet. She is expecting her third child with rapper and long-time partner, A$AP Rocky.
The news broke when photographer Miles Diggs shared a photo of Rihanna on Instagram. In the picture, she wore a fitted gray Miu Miu blouse and skirt, clearly showing off her baby bump. She completed her look with knee-high boots, a fur stole, and a stylish black cloche hat, fitting perfectly with the event’s “Black dandy” theme.
A$AP Rocky, who served as a co-chair for the gala this year, confirmed the pregnancy while speaking to reporters at the red carpet. When people congratulated him, he responded with joy. “Thank you, thank you, thank you,” he said. “I’m glad everybody’s happy for us because we’re definitely happy.”
Later in the evening, Rihanna finally made her grand appearance. She arrived in a bold, deconstructed black outfit that included a cropped jacket, polka-dot details, and a wide-brimmed hat. She cradled her baby bump and smiled as photographers took her pictures, once again making fashion history on the Met steps.
This is not the first time Rihanna has used a major public event to announce a pregnancy. In 2023, she surprised the world by revealing her second pregnancy during the Super Bowl halftime show. She later appeared at the Met Gala that same year before giving birth to her second son.
Rihanna and A$AP Rocky are already parents to two boys—RZA, who was born in May 2022, and Riot, who arrived in August 2023. With this third baby on the way, the couple continues to grow their beautiful family.
The Met Gala has recently become a special place for celebrity pregnancy reveals. In 2023, tennis legend Serena Williams announced her pregnancy at the event. Supermodel Karlie Kloss also showed off her baby bump in both 2023 and again this year, joining the list of stars embracing motherhood in style.
Fans and fashion lovers around the world are once again celebrating Rihanna’s bold and joyful announcement, proving she knows exactly how to make a memorable entrance.
