Rihanna stayed in her soft, assured bag at the 35th Gotham Awards when the Associated Press asked the question every fan loves to hear. She was asked how proud she was of A$AP Rocky after the reporter called him a great dad, great actor, and great singer. She didn’t hesitate to agree. She smiled sweetly and replied, “He is. I know I chose right. I got good taste.” 

Rocky got the update shortly after, and his reaction matched the energy. “I can’t say that I disagree with her,” he said with a grin. Their back and forth feels natural, grounded, full of the love that has grown through milestones that keep stacking. The couple welcomed their first daughter, Rocki, in September. She joins their two sons, RZA and Riot, who already have the internet wrapped around their fingers. Rihanna and Rocky’s family story continues to rapidly evolve, and every appearance gives fans another glimpse into a home full of personality and joy.

The entertainer and entrepreneur is in a season where personal life and professional wins sit side by side; her 2016 album “Anti” just hit a massive milestone. After spending 500 weeks on the Billboard 200 chart, she’s now the first woman to ever spend more than 200 weeks on the chart. A reminder of the album’s staying power and the impact she created in an era where longevity in music feels rare. Even without dropping new music, Rihanna’s influence moves without pause.

She continues to build a legacy in business, too. Rihanna became the first Black woman with two billion-dollar companies under her belt, Fenty Beauty and Savage X Fenty. The moment at the Gotham Awards showed a woman who is proud, anchored, and fully aware of the life she built. It’s another chapter in a story that keeps getting richer.
