A$AP Rocky and Rihanna are not only two of music's biggest stars, they are also partners who put their family first.
The couple welcomed their first child, son RZA, in May 2022, and their second child, son Riot, in August 2023.
On May 5, A$AP Rocky confirmed at the 2025 Met Gala that he and Rihanna are expanding their family and expecting their third child.
"It feels amazing, you know," A$AP Rocky told reporters after they congratulated him following media reports that the couple was expecting their third child, according to The Associated Press. "It's time that we show the people what we was cooking up, and I'm glad everybody's happy for us, 'cause we definitely happy, you know."
Ahead of the Met Gala, A$AP Rocky, born Rakim Mayers, spoke with Vogue about his family, describing his love for Rihanna as “internal, external, infinite, the past, the future."
Describing their kids together, A$AP Rocky said of his son RZA, “The older one, he stays to himself—he likes his books." Of his younger son Riot, the rapper added, "He likes to take stuff from his brother so his brother can chase him.”

The two artists first met in 2012 before they started dating years later in 2019, according to an October 2024 feature on the rapper in W magazine, before they tied the knot in May 2021.
Three years ago, the couple became parents for the first time and Rihanna told Interview magazine their new chapter together felt like a natural next step.
"There was no denying it. It was the best thing that ever happened to us. It just happened," she said.
A$AP Rocky also told W that fatherhood profoundly changed his life.
"Once you a parent, you just embody that, no matter what," the 36-year-old said, adding that Rihanna is a "great mom" and he's "the greatest dad in the whole wide world."
A$AP Rocky said becoming a dad has also changed the way he views his music today.
"I do have songs where I'm talking about my life, and fatherhood is one of the things that I bring up, though—adapting to changes and having a work-family balance," he told W.
Rihanna and A$AP Rocky welcomed their first son, RZA, on May 13, 2022.
Now a toddler, Rihanna has described her son as "an empath" who loves melodies and music, according to Harper's Bazaar.
She also told Interview magazine the first word RZA ever said was simply, "Hey."
"I used to try to get his attention all the time, and I would say, 'Hey, hey, hey.' And one day he said it back to me in the same melody and I kept singing it and he kept following it over and over again," she said.
The artists became parents of two when they had their second son, Riot, on Aug. 3, 2023.
Rihanna told Harper's Bazaar that fellow singer and songwriter Pharrell Williams helped them select Riot's name.
"He gave us this name thinking it was going to be a girl, because he had seen something online," Rihanna said. "Pharrell is very deep. He's not surface. He will never say anything and just leave it there with a full stop. He will have the entire history: the energy, the time, the month that it is."
