Riot and RZA, the nine-time Grammy winner and her beau A$AP Rocky, are the proud parents of their two kids. The couple started dating in 2020.
After becoming a mother, Rihanna’s perspective on life shifted.
“My son is the reason I exist.” Right now, everything counts. In an interview with the podcast “Process with Nate Burleson” in February 2023, she stated, “You really start to take a lot into account.”
“Skydiving? You give things like that a lot of thought; the effort is not worthwhile. Everything has changed; the life I had before my son seems so hazy. It’s tiny and hazy, but with him, it grew better. Nothing is more gratifying than working so hard at something you love.”
The “Pon de Replay” singer gave birth to her second son in the summer of 2023, making her a mother of two today.

Bunny ears on Rza.
The revelation that Rihanna and A$AP, whose real name is Rakim Mayers, were expecting their first child on January 31, 2022, was first revealed by Page Six. During a visit to her beau’s hometown of Harlem, New York, the founder of Fenty Beauty flaunted her bare baby belly.
After welcoming their first boy in May 2022, the couple withheld the identity and face of their child for over six months.
It wasn’t malevolent, though, as Rihanna stated to the Washington Post in November 2022 that the reason she and her partner hadn’t announced their son’s name was that they “hadn’t gotten around to it yet.”
She went on, “We’ve just been living.” “But I suppose that sort of just putting it out there comes with a certain freedom.”
RZA debuted in his mother’s very first TikTok video the following month.
The 45-second video of her happy infant boy in his car seat has the label “hacked.”
The infant son of the “Umbrella” singer then made his magazine debut when he showed up on the cover of British Vogue’s March 2023 issue alongside his well-known parents.
Smiling in his car seat is Rza.
In an interview with the magazine, Rihanna said that she and A$AP take every precaution to keep their son safe from the cameras.
As parents, it is up to us to choose when and how to do it. “End of story,” she declared at the time, recounting how, during their cover photo shoot, she had found out that a photographer was taking pictures of her kid.

“Put me among the wolves.” Proceed as you please with me. However, he is not involved in any of this,” she continued. “So far, we’ve been looking out for him, and you don’t have my permission to sell or post pictures of my underage child. With that, get the hell out of here.
The Daily Mail revealed that the rapper of “Praise the Lord” and the singer of “Rude Boy” had named their baby RZA, almost a year to the day of his birth.

The Wu-Tang Clan’s leader, rapper and producer RZA, inspired the baby’s name.
Three days after RZA’s name began to circulate, A$AP verified the identity while wishing his firstborn son a happy birthday.
