Rihanna’s newborn baby girl is said to be the “spitting image” of her pop star mama.
Rihanna established herself in 2006 when the song ‘SOS’ smashed the top of the charts and she quickly became a global music and fashion icon. The Barbados-born showstopper built out her brand to include the now defunct Savage x Fenty fashion label, and her enduring makeup business Fenty Beauty.
Speaking of motherhood back in 2019 at her fifth Diamond Ball in New York City, Rihanna indicated that it was on the table.
“I’m a black woman. I came from a black woman, who came from a black woman, who came from a black woman, and I’m going to give birth to a black woman.
“It’s a no-brainer. That’s who I am. It’s the core of who I am in spirit and DNA.”
Mum and Dad!
In a 2019 interview with GQ magazine A$AP spoke about the idea of children with “the love of my life”, Rihanna.
“If that’s in my destiny, absolutely … I think I’d be an incredible, remarkably, overall amazing dad. I would have a very fly child.”
While Rihanna has been notoriously tightlipped about her private life in the past, the cat was well and truly out of the bag about her relationship with A$AP after the rapper left no confusion during that interview!
Calling Rihanna both “my lady” and “the love of my life,” the PMW rapper revealed that the pair had been on an incredible “Great American Road Trip,” the previous summer.
“I met myself,” he said of the trip. “Being able to drive and do a tour without feeling like it was an occupation or an obligated job agreement, I feel like that experience is like none other,” the rapper recalled. “I never experienced nothing like it.”

Umbrella singer, Rihanna kept her pregnancy glow up thanks to a dedicated moisturising regime.
Speaking with Allure, the Umbrella hitmaker admitted that pregnancy had her staying: “More moisturised than ever, obviously!”
The singer credited her own brand, Fenty Skin for her pregnancy glow-up, in particular saying that the “Butta Drop Whipped Oil Body Cream is my go-to.”
Speaking with PEOPLE the Fenty Beauty founder admitted that “it’s fun” but also “a challenge” to play with fashion while pregnant.
“I like it. I’m enjoying it,” she said in February, 2022.
“I’m enjoying not having to worry about covering up my tummy,” Rihanna added then. “If I feel a little chubby, it’s like, whatever! It’s a baby!”
“I would have a very fly child.”
