Rihanna and A$AP Rocky have welcomed their third child and shared a photo of the newborn for the first time.
A$AP Rocky and Rihanna have been dating since 2020, and in the five years since they got together, they have welcomed their two sons, RZA, three, and Riot, two.
It has even become a running joke among their fanbase that the pair will be announcing they have another baby on the way before they announce new music is coming.
And now, the pair have expanded their family once again, with Rhianna, 37, announcing she had given birth to their third child.

On Instagram, the singer shared a sweet snap of her and the newborn girl yesterday (September 24) and confirmed that she had been born on September 13.
Many fans also commented on the Instagram post congratulating the couple.
One user wrote: “Yes!!!!!! Manifested it, you know she will be beyond gorgeous congratulations Riri.”
Another added: “Omg the Princess has arrived.”
With a third writing: “Awwww congrats babe. I am so so happy for you!! A beautiful girl!”
And another person joking: "Okay babygirl is here, now do you think we can get some music?? Congratulations."
Rihanna also revealed her daughter’s unusual name, and people have already been working out the sweet homages it pays to the men in her life.
The newborn is named Rocki Irish Mayers.
As her father is A$AP Rocky, ‘Rocki’ is an apparent shoutout to the rapper, real name Rakim Mayers.
The Irish part of the name also seems to be a tribute to Rihanna’s father and his heritage, as he was of African, Irish, English and Scottish descent.
In a recent interview, A$AP also spoke about his desire to have a girl after having two boys.
He said: “I hope it's a girl. I really do. We're praying for a girl. Our first time, we wanted to know the sex of the baby. The second time, we didn't want to know.
“Third time, we don't want to know until, you know. I feel like it's going to be a girl. This pregnancy is so different from the other two.
“You can tell from the experience. I hope it's a baby girl, man. I need that.”
A$AP also opened up about how he and Rihanna make their relationship work.
He said they do their best not to discuss work when together so they can focus on quality family time.
He added: “We don't talk too much about work, because we deal with that all day, every day.
“When you come home, it's about family. It's about your relationship. It's about your household. It ain't about all that other s***.”
