Pop icon Rihanna and rapper A$AP Rocky have welcomed the birth of their first daughter, Rocki Irish Mayers, bringing joy to fans worldwide.
The couple, who are already parents to sons Riot and RZA, announced the birth on Instagram on 13 September, sharing a heartfelt image of Rihanna cradling her newborn alongside tiny pink boxing gloves.
The baby’s name, a nod to her father’s stage persona, comes with a small twist in spelling. Rihanna shared the announcement in a post that quickly garnered over five million likes within just two hours, reflecting the excitement of fans on social media.
Rihanna, born Robyn Fenty in Barbados, had revealed her pregnancy earlier this year at the Met Gala. Wearing a striking outfit that highlighted her baby bump, she told reporters, "It is time to just show the people what we were cooking up."
Her pregnancy reveal followed her tradition of making public announcements in creative and memorable ways, including the announcement of her second child at the 2023 Super Bowl halftime show.
This year also marked a milestone in Rihanna’s career, celebrating 20 years since the release of her debut album. Fans greeted the news with both congratulations and calls for new music, nearly a decade after her last album, Anti.
Beyond music, Rihanna has built a formidable business empire. She has launched Fenty Beauty, a globally popular cosmetics brand, and a lingerie line, expanding her influence beyond entertainment. Forbes estimates her net worth at over a billion dollars.
The couple has remained in the public eye throughout 2025. Earlier this year, A$AP Rocky was acquitted in a gun-related trial, which saw Rihanna bring their sons to court, further demonstrating their close-knit family life amidst legal battles and media attention.
