LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Rihanna and A$AP Rocky have just welcomed their second baby together. According to the latest report, the star couple are now proud parents to their second son.
The source also claimed that the baby was born on August 3, and his name starts with an ‘R’ letter, as reported by TMZ. Last year, they welcomed their first child RZA Athelston Mayers.
Why did Rihanna keep her pregnancy a secret?
The ‘Life Me Up’ star chose to keep her second pregnancy hidden from the media, and it was revealed only during her Super Bowl 2023 halftime show.
She later confirmed that was expecting her second baby. She joked in an interview with British Vogue, on her decision to perform while pregnant, “What the heck [was] I thinking?
“It’s this knowing that you can do anything,” she explains, “even things that seem the craziest, like, ‘I’m going to say yes to the Super Bowl in the middle of postpartum?’” She couldn't believe that she agreed, as she recalled “What the heck am I thinking? But you’re geeked on a challenge like that because you know what your body just did. You feel this sense of ‘Nothing is impossible.’”
What did Rihanna say about motherhood?
She also explained why being a mother is nothing less than ‘legendary,’ “Oh, my God, it’s legendary. It’s everything. You really don’t remember life before, that’s the craziest thing ever.
The 35-year-old singer continues, “You literally try to remember it – and there are photos of my life before – but the feeling, the desires, the things that you enjoy, everything, you just don’t identify with it because you don’t even allow yourself mentally to get that far, because…it doesn’t matter.”
While talking about her Super Bowl halftime performance, one source said, “Even some members of Rihanna’s team have been kept in the dark. It’s all a big secret, from the details of her halftime show to what’s next — if anything.”
When the 'Born Again' crooner was asked about the inspiration behind her decision, she said, “I want to put on a show. I want to have fun. I haven’t done this in a minute and I’m doing this for the people that love my music, the people that have supported me and gotten me to this place in my career."
Rihanna further added, "And who miss me as a musician in particular. It’s me really just getting back onstage – a crazy stage to be back on – but I’m really doing this for my fans.”
