In true Rihanna fashion, the global pop icon, beauty mogul, and soon-to-be mother of three brought the Met Gala to a picture-perfect close on Monday night with a surprise announcement: she’s pregnant again.
The 37-year-old Barbadian superstar arrived fashionably late—quite literally the final guest to grace the red carpet—but the wait was worth it. Draped in a custom couture ensemble that blended elegance with edge, Rihanna gently cradled her growing baby bump, flashing her trademark smirk as cameras and fans erupted with excitement.
Her partner, rapper and event co-chair A$AP Rocky, was right by her side, graciously thanking well-wishers and flashing a proud smile. “Thank you, thank you, thank you,” he said to reporters who congratulated the couple. “We’re over the moon. I’m glad everybody’s happy for us—because we’re definitely happy.”
The announcement marks yet another unforgettable pregnancy reveal in Rihanna’s growing list of iconic public moments.From debuting her first baby bump in a Harlem photoshoot with Rocky in 2022, to revealing her second pregnancy on stage during the 2023 Super Bowl halftime show, the Fenty Beauty founder has made a habit of turning personal milestones into cultural events.

This year’s Met Gala theme, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” paid homage to the legacy and innovation of Black menswear. A$AP Rocky, as one of the night’s co-chairs, embraced the theme with sharp tailoring and signature flair, while Rihanna stole the show with a nod to classic silhouettes reimagined through a modern maternal lens.
The couple currently shares two sons: RZA, born in May 2022, and Riot, who arrived in August 2023. With a third on the way, the Fenty-Mayers household is growing fast—and in the public eye, no less.
Rihanna’s reveal puts her in familiar company. Last year’s Met Gala also featured joyful baby announcements from the likes of Serena Williams and Karlie Kloss, continuing the event’s unexpected tradition as a stage for life-changing news.
As Rihanna posed for her final photos, the energy on the carpet was electric. Not just because of the glamour, but because she reminded the world—yet again—that motherhood can be bold, stylish, and unapologetically hers.
