Pop superstar Robyn ‘Rihanna’ Fenty has welcomed her third child, a girl, with her partner Rakim Mayers, aka A$AP Rocky.
The 37-year-old singer revealed the news on Wednesday, announcing that ‘Rocki Irish Mayers’ was born on 13 September.
She shared the update on Instagram with a picture of herself cradling the newborn and a snap of tiny pink boxing gloves.
The name takes inspiration from her father’s stage name, Rocky, with only a letter changed.
Baby Bump Reveal
Rihanna first revealed her pregnancy at this year’s Met Gala in May. She wore a custom outfit tailored to her growing bump and told reporters, “It is time to just show the people what we were cooking up.”
Her long-time partner A$AP Rocky, who co-chaired the event, confirmed the news on the red carpet. “I’m glad everybody’s happy for us because we’re definitely happy,” he said.
The Diamonds singer has made her pregnancy announcements memorable.
In 2023, she revealed her second pregnancy while performing at the Super Bowl halftime show in a red bodysuit.

The couple already share two sons, RZA, born in 2022, and Riot, born in 2023.
Fans celebrated the arrival of their daughter online, with Rihanna’s Instagram post attracting more than eight million likes and over 100,000 comments as of this report.
The birth comes weeks after Rihanna marked 20 years since her debut album, Music of the sun.
While many congratulated her, some fans renewed calls for her long-awaited next project. She last released an album, Anti, in 2016.
During her break from music, Rihanna has built a billion-dollar empire with Fenty Beauty and Savage X Fenty.
The couple’s family milestone also follows a turbulent year.
A court acquitted A$AP Rocky in February of firing a gun at a former friend, and Rihanna attended with their two sons.
