How Rihanna Turned Her Baby Bump Reveals Into Major Cultural Moments

Rihanna’s first baby bump was on the cover of ‘Vogue.'

Rihanna doesn’t just announce that she’s pregnant–she makes it an iconic moment. Through three pregnancies, each with her longtime partner A$AP Rocky, the singer and entrepreneur ensures that all eyes are on her. While wishing Rihanna a happy and healthy third pregnancy–which she debuted during the 2025 Met Gala–BET.com reflects on her memorable baby bump reveals.

Awaiting Her First Child, RZA

In early 2022, Rihanna and Rocky popped out, not just to hard launch their relationship, but announcing that they were expecting their first child, which would eventually be RZA Athelston Mayers, now 2. RiRi’s baby bump would also make the cover of ‘Vogue’ with a gorgeous lace bodysuit shot.

Marking the First Baby Bump in Super Bowl History

After concealing her stomach for months, Rihanna gave the big reveal of expecting her second child during the Super Bowl LVII Apple Music Halftime Show. The expertly-choreographed and legendary show would come seven months ahead of the arrival of Rihanna and Rocky’s second son, Riot Rose, now 20 months old.

Unveiling Her Baby Bump On the Met Gala Carpet

Rihanna gave two spectacular looks for the 2025 Met Gala, both accentuating her third baby bump. While this likely means fans won’t get Rih’s ninth album anytime soon, we can look forward to another adorable child just before the year’s end.
