Rihanna and A$AP Rocky have maintained a low-key public presence since giving birth to their first child in May. They chose to spend time with their newborn kid away from the limelight and have kept his name and any pictures of him secret.
However, Rihanna has been teasingly opening up about parenting in the run-up to her return to the music scene. She released her first single since 2016, is hosting the fourth Savage x Fenty concert on Amazon in two days, and will unofficially headline the Super Bowl the next year.
The 34-year-old said in an interview with The Washington Post that there isn’t a set explanation for why she hasn’t yet disclosed any information about her 5-month-old baby. It’s more about just being preoccupied.
When asked about revealing the name of her child, Rihanna replied, “We just didn’t get around to it yet, really.” “All we have done is survive. But I suppose that sort of just like putting it out there comes with a certain freedom,” she continued.
Later, on the Savage x Fenty Volume Four red carpet, Rihanna told E! News that she thought of lounging in leggings throughout her pregnancy as “a sport,” but that she’s now prepared to take off. “You’re like, ‘I gotta get back,’ once you get to the other side,” she said. “There’s an incident that occurs.”
Rihanna continued by saying she’s come to the realization that, in parenting and overall, she’s becoming much like her mother, Monica Braithwaite.
She said, “It’s weird.” “I do it even for the tiny things about her that irritate me. I make the exact same faces all the time. I make the same statements. In the same manner, I clear my throat. I make the same mouth motions.
She said, “She more snatched than me,” which makes her delighted to follow in her mother’s footsteps. “I either never noticed it or it never happened until I had a baby,” she said.
The Savage x Fenty concert is scheduled to premiere on November 9 and features a long list of confirmed guests, including Taraji P. Henson, Cara Delevingne, and Sheryl Lee Ralph, in addition to performances confirmed by Anitta and Maxwell. The news that Johnny Depp was reportedly making a cameo appearance in the show was leaked by TMZ last week, and naturally, this caused a stir on the internet. RiRi, please say it’s not true!
