A$AP Rocky must have really known what he was talking about—baby number three has officially arrived, and it’s a girl.
On Wednesday, September 24, Rihanna and the “Praise the Lord” rapper shared the exciting news in a pink-themed Instagram post, noting her arrival date as Saturday, September 13.
The announcement featured a tender shot of mom cradling her newborn daughter alongside a playful snap of ballet-pink boxing gloves tied with a ribbon. This whimsical touch reflects the couple’s unique style, merging their love for art and athleticism, emblematic of Rihanna’s multifaceted career and Rocky’s energetic persona.
In keeping with their tradition of “R” names, the couple revealed their daughter’s name: Rocki Irish Mayers. This continuation of naming conventions highlights their desire to forge a cohesive family identity, while also nodding to the distinctive characteristics they envision for their children.
The reveal follows Rocky’s recent profile in Elle, where he confidently predicted the baby would be a girl. Both he and Rihanna had expressed their hopes for a daughter throughout the pregnancy, and how they were waiting to find out when she arrived.
“I feel like it’s going to be a girl,” he predicted. “This pregnancy is so different from the other two. You can tell from the experience.” Rocky’s insights hint at the emotional and physical nuances he observed during this latest journey into fatherhood, portraying a more evolved perspective as both a partner and a parent.
With Rocki’s arrival, the superstar couple, who were first romantically linked in 2019, are now parents to three children. She joins her older brothers, RZA, born in May 2022, and Riot, born in August 2023, rounding out their growing family of five. This rapid expansion showcases their commitment to building a life filled with love, creativity, and support.
For Rihanna, motherhood has unfolded alongside her continued reign as a global pop icon, running her beauty and fashion empire while fans eagerly await her return to music. Her ability to juggle the demands of parenthood with her professional endeavors illustrates her resilience and determination to break boundaries in both personal and professional realms.
For Rocky, fatherhood has been a role he has proudly embraced, often speaking about the joy and perspective it brings. “The best part of being a father is being accepted into the fatherhood club,” Rocky revealed to Elle magazine. “You know, when you’re a father, you make an excuse about everything. I was late today, y’all, I’m a father.” This lighthearted approach to parenting reflects his genuine excitement and the joy he derives from being part of a larger community of dads.
He added, “Man I love this dad thing.” These candid moments offer glimpses into his personality, revealing a man who not only takes his role seriously but also enjoys the adventure that comes with raising children alongside his partner.
