Rihanna Welcomes Baby No. 3: Meet Rocki Irish Mayers
The superstar expands her growing family with partner A$AP Rocky
Rihanna and A$AP Rocky have officially become a
family of five.
The music and fashion icon revealed on social
media that she gave birth to a baby girl named Rocki Irish Mayers on Saturday, September 13. This marks the couple’s third child together and their first daughter.
The baby’s name stays true to the couple’s
now-signature tradition of “R” names—joining big brothers RZA Athelston Mayers, born in 2022, and Riot Rose Mayers, born in 2023. Rihanna
first hinted at her third pregnancy during her red carpet appearance at the 2025 Met Gala in May, where her maternity
style once again made headlines.
While the couple kept much of the pregnancy
under wraps, fans speculated for months as Rihanna appeared publicly in flowing
silhouettes and subtle baby bumps. The official confirmation came through a
simple yet sweet social media post, where Rihanna shared a photo of the baby’s
tiny hand wrapped around hers, captioned: “Welcome,
Rocki Irish. 9.13.25 💕.”
This latest addition deepens what has become
one of pop culture’s most talked-about celebrity families. A$AP Rocky, whose
real name is Rakim Athelston Mayers,
has previously spoken about fatherhood with pride and humor. In a recent
interview with GQ, he even joked about breaking
the “R” name streak for their third child by going with “Denzel”—a nod to his
co-star Denzel Washington in the upcoming film Highest 2 Lowest. Clearly, the couple stuck to their
signature style instead.
A Modern Family
Since becoming parents, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky
have embraced family life both privately and publicly. Known for keeping
details about their children mostly out of the spotlight, the pair have slowly
opened up in interviews and selective social media moments. The names of their
first two children were revealed months after birth, with photos and style
shoots confirming what fans had speculated.
Rihanna, who once ruled the charts and red
carpets without pause, has shifted her focus in recent years. While she
continues to build her billion-dollar Fenty empire, motherhood has clearly
taken center stage. She’s made few musical appearances lately, instead
channeling her creative energy into her fashion and beauty brands—while keeping
her family close.
Fans and celebrities alike have flooded Rihanna’s
announcement post with congratulations, praising the couple for continuing to
redefine modern parenthood in the spotlight.
What’s Next?
With three kids under the age of four, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky certainly have their hands full. Still, both stars have proven they know how to balance fame and family on their own terms. As for music, while Rihanna has teased a comeback for years, it’s safe to say her next big production might be a lullaby.
