Rihanna Confirms Expecting Third Child at Glitzy Met Gala

In a delightful turn of events at the Met Gala, Rihanna, acclaimed singer and entrepreneur, revealed that she is pregnant with her third child. The news came as she walked the red carpet alongside her partner, rapper A$AP Rocky, with whom she shares two sons. A$AP Rocky expressed gratitude to reporters for their warm wishes and excitement, stating, "It is time to just show the people what we were cooking up." The Met Gala, a charitable gala benefiting the Metropolitan Museum of Art, also marks the start of its annual fashion exhibit.

The announcement came as no surprise to many, as speculation had arisen when Rihanna was spotted at the Carlyle Hotel ahead of the event. The couple's first son, RZA, was born in May 2022, followed by their second son, Riot, in August 2023. The pop star previously set the internet abuzz with her pregnancy reveal during the Super Bowl halftime show earlier this year. Rihanna's announcement adds to the Met Gala's legacy of celebrity pregnancy reveals, following in the footsteps of stars like Serena Williams and Karlie Kloss who made similar declarations at the 2023 event.
