Fans may still be waiting for new Rihanna music, but it looks like the pop star has other exciting things going on — like preparing to welcome baby number three with her partner, rapper ASAP Rocky. And guess what? Riri might’ve just teased that this little one could be a girl!
Rihanna’s Focus: Family Over Music
While Rihanna’s fans would love nothing more than a new album, the 37-year-old singer has been keeping her focus on her growing family and booming beauty brand, Fenty. After giving birth to her two adorable sons — RZA Athelston Mayers, now 3 years old, and Riot Rose Mayers, who’s turning 2 soon — Rihanna is now expecting her third child.
As much as fans want new songs, the only tune we’re getting from Rihanna for now is her track for the upcoming Smurfs movie, where she also voices the character Smurfette. Even so, fans are thrilled to see her doing something new, even if it’s not an album just yet.
A Hint About Baby #3’s Gender?
During a recent chat with Entertainment Tonight, Rihanna was asked if her third baby might finally be the girl she and ASAP Rocky have been waiting for. With a playful smile, Rihanna responded, “Let’s see if it’s a Smurfette!”
Of course, the interviewer picked up on the possible hint — but Rihanna quickly laughed it off, saying it could just as well be “a Papa Smurf.” It seems like she’s keeping things under wraps for now, but that sparkle in her eye definitely got fans talking.
Another “R” Baby Name Coming Soon
While the couple is still keeping the baby’s gender a mystery, Rihanna did confirm one fun detail — the baby will have a name that starts with the letter R, just like their two boys. “It’s always going to be an R name,” she said with a smile. “That’s the one thing me and Rocky don’t fight over!”
This sweet tradition of “R” names seems to be something the couple really enjoys, and fans are already guessing what the name could be if it is a girl.
Rihanna’s Mom Era Is Going Strong
It’s clear that Rihanna is fully embracing motherhood. In interviews and public appearances, she can’t stop talking about her kids and the new baby on the way. Even though she’s taking a break from the music scene, fans love seeing her so happy and glowing.
Between parenting, running Fenty, and starring in a family-friendly movie, Rihanna seems to be doing it all — just not in the recording studio right now. And that’s okay! Fans are excited to support her no matter what chapter she’s in.
When’s the Smurfs Movie Coming Out?
In the meantime, you can catch Rihanna’s voice as Smurfette in the new Smurfs movie, hitting theaters on July 18. While we may not know if her third baby is a boy or a girl just yet, one thing’s for sure — Rihanna is living her best mom life, and fans are loving every minute of it.
