A$AP Rocky is hoping for a daughter as he and Rihanna prepare to welcome their third child. He spoke about this in a recent interview with Elle. Rocky said he and Rihanna are "praying for a girl."
The couple already have two sons, RZA, age 3, and Riot, age 2. Rocky said this pregnancy feels different from the last two and that they will not find out the baby’s sex ahead of time.
A$AP Rocky also talked about fatherhood. He said being present and being with his family is very important to him. He said he used to enjoy being a playboy, but now that phase of life seems less important.
"We don’t plan on having children, but when it happens, you gotta adjust and move with it. I gotta be present for my family, because that’s first."
What does A$AP Rocky say about the new baby and family?
A$AP Rocky told Elle that this third pregnancy feels very different from the first two. He said:
"I hope it’s a girl. I really do. We’re praying for a girl."
Rocky added:
"I feel like it’s going to be a girl. This pregnancy is so different from the other two. You can tell from the experience. I hope it’s a baby girl, man. I need that."
He also said they will not know the baby’s sex until birth. He explained that the first time they wanted to know, the second time they did not, and this third time, they do not want to know until the baby is born.
A$AP Rocky made clear that family is now his first priority. He said that he has grown and that the life he had before now seems less meaningful than being there for his children.
"What’s really fly is raising a family, bro, and loving them. Being there."

He said the delay in his next album, Don’t Be Dumb, is partly from needing to adjust to life, and being more present helps him do that. He said he doesn’t plan children ahead of time, but when they happen, he has to adjust.
Other details and what is known so far?
A$AP Rocky also spoke about other parts of his life. He is working not only on music but also on acting. He recently had a trial and faced serious charges, but was acquitted.
The couple confirmed the pregnancy in May 2025 at the Met Gala, when Rihanna showed her baby bump and A$AP Rocky confirmed the news. Their two sons, RZA and Riot, have drawn public affection, and people follow updates closely.
Supporters are buzzing over whether the couple will welcome a daughter. Some clues make people think it might be a girl, but nothing is confirmed. Rocky joked that regardless of the baby’s sex, the first name will be “Denzel,” after Denzel Washington.
The couple’s third baby is on the way, and while Rocky is hoping for a girl, his main focus is family and fatherhood. He wants to wait until the baby is born to know, and he emphasizes that his family and being present matter most to him now. Whether the baby is a girl or a boy, it seems the couple are excited.
