Rihanna and ASAP Rocky step out in LA for first public appearance since welcoming baby Rocki
Rihanna made her initial public appearance since the birth of her and ASAP Rocky’s new daughter, Rocki Irish Mayers.
The iconic duo, both 37, were seen cruising through the streets of Los Angeles in a sleek black, open-top convertible on Friday, October 3. (Notably, it was also Rocky's 37th birthday).
While Rocky presented a refined image in a brown suit, striped tie, and elegant oval sunglasses, Rihanna's attire brought her signature edge. The Fenty mogul commanded attention in a black motorcycle jacket, perfectly paired with coordinating trousers and stylish sunglasses.
For her beauty look, Rihanna wore her long hair in soft, loose waves.
Rihanna Officially Welcomes Third Child with ASAP Rocky
Rihanna announced on September 24 that she had given birth to baby Rocki, her third child with the rapper, 11 days prior on September 13. In an Instagram reveal, the "Diamonds" songstress was pictured cradling the newborn, who was swaddled in a gentle pastel pink blanket and adorned with a prominent matching bow on her head.
Rocky responded to Rihanna’s post in the comments section, writing, “My lil ladies.”
Rihanna initially unveiled her pregnancy at the Met Gala in May, where she showcased her baby bump in a custom Ralph Lauren gown. Rihanna and Rocky are also parents to sons RZA, 3, and Riot Rose, 2.
Rihanna and Rocky chose not to discover their daughter’s gender before her birth.
“I truly hoped for a girl. We were genuinely wishing for a daughter,” Rocky shared with Elle in a profile published early in September. He elaborated, “Our first time, we opted to learn the baby's sex. The second time, we preferred not to know. For this third time, we wanted to discover it upon arrival, you know.”
He further added, “I had a strong feeling it would be a girl. This pregnancy felt distinctly different from the previous two. You could sense it through the experience. I was really hoping for a baby girl, man. I truly needed that.”
Rihanna and the “Fashion Killa” rapper have been in a relationship since 2019, with ongoing discussions about a potential timeline for their marriage.
A Glimpse into Rihanna and ASAP Rocky's Family Album
“How do you know I’m not already married?” he playfully remarked in the Elle profile, addressing persistent marriage speculation. “I’m still not going to confirm it. … We tend not to discuss work extensively at home, as it consumes us daily. When you return, the focus shifts to family, our relationship, our household. It’s not about anything else.”
A source previously informed Us Weekly in 2023 that Rihanna and Rocky have “discussed the prospect of marriage in the future.”
“Both view each other as their life partner,” the source exclusively revealed to Us.
Rihanna has also expressed profound wonder at the transformation of their relationship since the arrival of RZA, Riot, and now Rocki.
“It encompasses everything. You genuinely can't recall life beforehand, it's truly the most astonishing aspect,” she shared with British Vogue in 2023 regarding motherhood. “You actively attempt to remember it — and there are photographs of my life before — but the emotions, the aspirations, the pursuits you once savored, everything, you simply no longer connect with it, as you don't even permit yourself mentally to go that deep, because … it simply holds no importance.”
