Rihanna Talks Glowingly About A$AP Rocky's Parenting Skills

"My kids are obsessed with him," said the Grammy winner.

Rihanna adores how her man A$AP Rocky has taken on his role as a Dad.

While at Monday night's (Dec. 18) launch party for her latest Fenty x Puma sneaker collaboration dubbed “The Creeper Phatty,” the star opened up to Access Hollywood about the "D.M.B." rapper's fatherhood skills and his sweet connection with their sons. 

When asked what surprised her the most about seeing the rapper become a father, the "Lift Me Up" singer let her heart do the talking.

"I loved him differently as a dad," she said. This is major, major-like; it’s a turn-on. It’s just like, ‘Wow!"

After that, Rihanna pointed out characteristics she has noticed since A$AP Rocky stepped into fatherhood. 

"What a leader, what a great, patient, loving (dad),” she explained.

She continued, "And my kids are obsessed with him. I'm just a background; I'm an extra. Yep! It happens! … It doesn't matter if it's girls or boys; they love their dad differently, and I love to see it."

And so do we!

During another moment, she talked about what she envisioned before becoming a family of four and how her motherhood dreams are being actualized.

"You don't have an idea. You just hope, 'I hope that I can have kids one day, then I hope I can have them in love and I hope that I can be a part of a family that breaks generational curses, and moves forward, and raises our kids better than we have been raised, and all the beautiful things."

"And it's happening, and I can't believe it."

Later, she quipped, "The only thing I imagined was the forehead on RZA. Riot doesn't have it! You can't lose that thang!"

The power couple welcomed their first child, RZA, 18 months, in May 2022, and then their second baby boy, Riot Rose, made his grand entrance in August 2023.
