Rihanna and A$AP Rocky have quietly announced the arrival of their third child, a daughter named Rocki Irish Mayers, born Sept. 13, 2025, the couple revealed in a series of Instagram images shared by the singer on Wednesday. The post — a photo of Rihanna cradling the newborn in a pink outfit alongside a separate image of tiny baby shoes — offered the first public confirmation of the birth and the name.
The newest addition joins older brothers RZA (born 2022) and Riot (born 2023), expanding the family the pair have built since they went public with their relationship in 2020. Rihanna first confirmed the pregnancy earlier this year during the Met Gala, where the couple’s growing family became a widely discussed moment on the red carpet. Fans and outlets immediately took to social media to celebrate the news.
Reaction from the entertainment world was swift: major outlets and celebrity pages reposted Rihanna’s images and congratulatory messages poured in from peers, public figures and fans. Coverage noted that the couple have carefully curated their public life—Rihanna, who balances a global music and business profile with Fenty Beauty and other ventures, has released only selective personal updates, making Wednesday’s Instagram reveal the most substantive family update in months.
The announcement also comes after a tumultuous stretch for A$AP Rocky earlier in 2025; the rapper was acquitted of firearms charges in Los Angeles, an episode during which Rihanna publicly stood by him. Together, the pair have maintained a relatively private home life despite high-profile careers, and the birth of Rocki is likely to renew public interest in both their personal and professional projects.
As of this report, Rihanna has not shared additional details about the birth beyond her Instagram post, and representatives for the couple did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Media outlets are expected to follow up if the family releases further statements or photographs; for now, fans around the world have welcomed Rocki with an outpouring of congratulations across social platforms.
