“This is baby number what? I lost count, sorry” — fans poke fun as Rihanna reveals pregnancy at Met Gala 2025

Rihanna's Baby No. 3 is officially on the way, as she took the interesting route of revealing her pregnancy on the Met Gala red carpet. Rihanna has consistently challenged the norms with her public appearances, and she took the opportunity at the gala to flaunt her visible baby bump at the Carlyle Hotel. The pop icon already has two sons with rapper ASAP Rocky - RZA and Riot.

The couple has previously spoken of their desire to welcome a daughter to their family as well, and the news was met with great excitement from fans on social media. The fans shared their elation at the news on X, even as some of them bid adieu to their chances of getting an album anytime soon:

"This is baby number what? I lost count sorry", commented one fan.

"We not getting another album until 2030", remarked another.

"Shes mothering, literally like 3 times in a row. Is she in a hurry or what cuz momma why. one more sibling for us navy okay", wrote another fan.

"We will have an album of her 3 children before she does", another fan chimed in.

"I’m side eyeing some of these cuz why are we judging a woman if she wants have more babies? it’s her BODY ", asserted another fan.

"Not y’all deciding how many babies you want Rihanna to have", claimed yet another fan.

The Met Gala was an event that made many headlines, but Rihanna sporting a baby bump undoubtedly takes the cake. The couple has previously spoken to Interview magazine about their desire to have a daughter:

"(I want) As many (children) as God wants me to have. I don’t know what God wants, but I would go for more than two. I would try for my girl. But of course, if it’s another boy, it’s another boy."

Before Rihanna took center stage at the red carpet, A$AP Rocky, who was one of the evening’s co-chairs, publicly declared the news of her pregnancy when he asked the paparazzi to steer clear of Rihanna's baby bump:

"Rihanna’s outfit tonight is ... I don’t know, whatever, just don’t cover her baby hump, you dig?"

Rihanna has a knack for the spectacular, and it's not the first time that she has gifted us with a public announcement that she was pregnant by taking to a big public venue, having announced her second child with ASAP Rocky during the Super Bowl halftime show in 2023. While the details of the pregnancy are yet to be disclosed, the event has certainly got people talking and continued her tradition of making pregnancy announcements at landmark events.
